Personal Leadership Story
Personal Leadership story The success of any organization is dependent on effective leaders who know how to lead people equipped with the right tools and resources. Luneburg & Ornstein, (2010) described leadership as a process whereby one individual influences other group members towards the attainment of defined or organizational goals. Therefore leaders should ensure that their roles and responsibilities are geared towards attaining the defined goals with the assistance of their followers. You cannot be a leader if you do not have followers.
In high school, I have always envisioned myself as a leader of an organization. Leaving high school, I started working but I did not like how my supervisors treated us, the workers, they always threatened to get us fired and drive fear in us. I eventually got fired because I stood up to one of them, and let them know I don’t like to be treated in that manner. I vowed that day that I will not work in an organization where there is a “boss” above me demanding that I do this or else! I want to be different, so I started college with this focus to do Business Administration. My perspective on how leaders should behave then, was emergent, I believe that a leader should communicate to his or her subordinate their roles and responsibilities, allows active participation of subordinates in decision making. I aspire to be a Principal or start my own Entrepreneurship School in the future where I will lead my staff to be action and goal-oriented and to produce optimum output for the success and benefit of the organization. In my opinion a leader is one who has vision, and is willing to work with others, given the correct resources, and training to accomplish given tasks. SEM contributor (2010) state that a good leader is made not born; if you have the desire and ambition, you can be a great effective leader. Good leaders develop through never ending process of self- study, education, training and experiences. Personal
