Future Leader

This chapter has made me think about my future role as a leader in the following ways.

I have never really considered myself to be a leader.  I don't like to be in charge of tasks or people.  I like to be given directions and just do my work.  I am not a big risk taker; I like to play it safe.  The older I get, the more of a leader I become.  In college, I am now finding myself taking charge of group projects and activities.  In the future I am going to use the following advice:

  • Always plan well and accordingly.
  • Before the first group meeting, I will try to develop strategies that will help accomplish the goals of our group tasks.
  • I will set a good example for my fellow employees.  If I lead by example, it will motivate them to follow in my footsteps and become a better employee and group member.
One idea that I have never considered was to invest in people.  This is important because you need to create relationships with your co-workers.  If you are loyal to your co-workers and employees, they will be loyal to you in return.
