My Leadership Philosophy
Philosophy of Leadership
I believe leadership is bringing people together in order to achieve a common goal. It is important to support collaboration and to have as many perspectives as possible. As a leader, it is my job to help the group grow by challenging them, as well as guiding them. Leadership is having the courage to take charge and be responsible for a group, as well as encouraging others to take charge. As a leader, I strive to be as positive as possible in order to get those I am leading through a difficult task. Leadership plays a very important role in my life and I want to be able to stick to my values and believes throughout all of my leadership experiences.

With each new group that I led a new value or belief has been added to my philosophy. Being the leader of the homecoming dance committee allowed me to see what it really took to be a leader. Leading my Business Professionals of America team allowed me to shape the value of positivity and keeping an optimistic work environment. I was also the secretary of my high school’s Best Buddies chapter, which helped shape my value of diverse perspective. Being on the leadership team of my high school’s student council helped shape my value of collaboration. So, throughout my years in high school, I was given many opportunities to really shape my leadership style. But now that I have the foundation of what leadership means to me I can start to build atop of it to become a better leader. In the future, I plan to take the values I have now as well as those I am continuing to build to accomplish whatever goal the group has. Over the years I would love to take up leadership positions within the student organizations I am in at the University of Iowa. I hope to take what I have learned about leadership from my past experiences and put them into action at a higher level. I also want to lead beyond my time at college, whether that be in the workplace or within my community. I think it is important to always be leading something and working towards a goal that is larger than yourself. Working towards a bigger goal is important because that is how you start to change things. I plan to continue to lead by seeking out new opportunities and pushing myself past my comfort
