Some Situation's where I can apply my Leadership skills.

There are many situation's where I apply my leadership skills. I would like to share my situation that what happens on that day. Last week when we are doing our in class activity, our professor make our random group of 4 persons and then he gave us 15 minutes time to complete that activity and then we have to complete that and arrange al the given things in its correct format. At that time we have very little time to complete that, then I use my skills and talk first and says, “Okay, so we got 15 minutes and we have to do that, so now lets do that”.

Firstly, I feels that this may be hard as we have only 15 minutes but later on when we starts that activity we enjoy it. From this activity there are many things to learn. First one was that how we have to take decisions whenever situation like that come in our life that we have not so much time, At that time I also learn that how to  make teams with random persons and how to do adjustments according to them.

This knowledge was not just for some time but for whole life as the leadership skills were used in every situations of life. These are one of the most important skills that anyone can have in his life. Leadership skills are vert important in everyone’s life and everyone may learn as many new things in their leadership style.

When I was in High Performing Team

There are lot of times when I was in high performing team but the one which I remember the most was in last year, when once our professor gave us a group project and gives us two weeks of time to complete that. We were group of 4 persons and we have to make a project on One company and make its financial statements like ledger, journal and many more. As we have very less time we divide the work among us and later on we decide that we would like to complete that by the end of this week and all of us agree to that point and thought that in the next week we can check our work. Luckily everything work as planned and we got A in that assignment. 

That team was high performing for me because we have very less time to complete that but inspite of that we still able to complete our work on time, moreover we got an A in that assignment. All the team members were very supportive and not a single member of that team was careless towards his work. Everyone was very serious about their work.

In that team my contribution was to prepare the ledger and post that into trial balance, everyone was given one particular statements but I instead of doing that regularly in touch with all the members about their progress in the work and was constantly looking for that. I was earlier not sure about how our team will perform as we all don’t know each other but luckily we all work so got and I feels lucky to be in that team. There are nothing much that I want to change in that team because everyone was so perfect in their work and moreover everyone was very supportive to each other.

I feel that during a conflict in a my team, I have to step out any we have to divide the work among each other and give everyone a same amount of work and powers so that no one feel little less important and everyone in that team feels equally important.  Another approach which I feel was that we have to talk together and try to remove any kind of conflict earlier before it become any big problem.

The one thing which I want that I can do differently in future was that I will try to trust more on my teammates. Sometimes when we don’t know each other than i feel that its little difficult to trust that how will our team perform, so this was the one thing which I wants to perform in future and to trust more in the future.

How  I will be an effective follower in a future.

I feels that whenever necessary, I can be a good follower as well. The commitment of learn something new from everyone was a one of my major strength. I feels that I always wants to learn from everything I get. If I get chance to became a follower, I would love to learn from my team leader. Also I would like to watch him very closely and learn as much as I can. Moreover, I would also work as a very committed and an effective follower. I would work very effectively and also keeps my team motivated and reduce some of  the burden from my team leader.

My Top 5 Leadership Strengths

1) Honesty and Integrity-  This was one of my biggest strength as if the leader is not honest towards his profession and work, that team would never get succeed. I would like to share one of my personal situation in which this quality was used allot. Once in our Grade 9th my teacher makes me a group leader of my 5 classmates and told me that you all have to make a project and you, yourself has to give all the duties to everyone and make that completed before the due date. As I am a team leader, I can give anyone whichever duty I want, but instead of that I divided our work among all of us and we did that as a group project and we shares our credit as a team not as a leader.

2) Inspire others- “If a  dog is a leader of Lions, they will fight like dogs and if a lion was a leader of dogs they will fight like lions”. This line suggest that most of it depend on a leader that how his team will perform. I feel that this was a also my strength that I am always inspired and also always ready to inspire everyone who was with me. I would like to share one situation of myself in which its important to be calm and inspire myself nd my sister. Once I and my older sister along with our family visited a public gathering. Its very crowded there. Unfortunately we both got lost there. She was older than me but got very scared, at that time I stays calm there and motivate her that we don’t have to worry as our parents will find her. After nearly half an hour we got find by our parents. Later on she told our parents that i was very scared but he makes me feel inspired.

3) Understanding the situation- I feel that if any leader takes decision based on just facts and not the current situations they may come in trouble. In the my above personal experience, if I along with my sister got scared than its not good for us but at that time I feels that i should stays calm and keep my sister also feel motivated and so that we may not get into another trouble. That situation teaches me that in life any time came, may be the worst time but we still have to be calm and inspired and respect the situation and changes us according to the situation. A situation will never change according to us but we have to change according to that and takes decision according to that.

4) Commitment-  Its always required for a leader to be committed towards his work. If a leader was not serious about his work, his team would never be serious towards that. I feel that its a very important strength that everyone must have to and not just in a leader. Everyone must do their work as a commitment to themselves first. Last year, one of my friend want to lose extra weight from his body and ask me for help. I starting inspiring him and commit myself that we would reduce as much as can in one month. After lot of hard work and commitment we lost nearly 14lb in one month.

5) Confidence- One of my biggest strength as a leader was my confidence. I am always confident that I can do any work  and nothing is impossible. This was the major reason that whenever I got the opportunity to work as a leader, We completes our work or deals every situation in a very effective manner. This was my biggest strength I am myself confident and also make my team confident that we can do our work properly and can deal any kind of situation.

When I was in a Leadership Situation

There were so many times that we feel that we are in leadership situations. I was also many times in various situation's. The one which I would like to share was when I along with my two teammates at work were given a task to complete and I was assigned as leader of that team, we were given nearly two hours to complete that. It was a good  experience because we all understand each other and also know each other limitation and strength, so it became very easier for us to complete our given task. This experience feels great as I learn many new qualities of being a leader. The leadership strengths which i have

1) Honesty- I feel that every leader must be honest to his work, his life and moreover honest to himself that which he was doing was right or wrong.

2) Understanding the situation- This was an another quality which feels I have as I can easily understand the situation and changes my decisions according to that.

3) Teamwork- “A leader was not a leader without his team”. I feel that I am the one who always want to work as a team. Many times in many situation's i want that all my team members must got as much importance as a leader and everyone was free to give their opinions. 

With having these characteristics doesn’t means that I am a good leader. There are many characteristics which I also have to learn. 

1) More Creativity- I feels that, I want to be more creative, as I am right now. Currently, According to me I am bound with my ideas in my mind and I wants to be more creative than I am right now.

2) Vision and Purpose- I feels that I am kind of person who don’t focus much on future as my main focus was in present. I feels that this creates sometimes a problem and I wants that not always but sometimes it was also necessary to thinks about future.
