Leadership Paper
Leadership project
Product Description
The project I chose to demonstrate my leadership on was to go around the Frostburg community picking up recycling and then dumping it in a local landfill. I first chose this project to work on because I thought, how could I help Frostburg and give back to the community? By recycling products and going green, these products can eventually be reprocessed and re-used without having it go to waste. I mainly decided to collect recycling to maintain and keep Frostburg clean and liter free. It establishes a healthy environment for locals, students and staff around the area. Going green and keeping the community environmentally friendly is highly stressed around the world today. Any kind of helpful service regarding recycling is beneficial to the environment and that’s what I planned to do. It is important for me to serve Frostburg by recycling because it isn’t the first time for me. Throughout my early years I have gone around collecting trash and recyclable goods through certain groups such as church camps and other clubs. I learned a lot about why it is important to recycle and ways to do it. The goals for my project itself were pretty clear. I first wanted to establish a healthy and litter free environment for Frostburg. Second, I wanted to make a statement to students on how easy it is to recycle instead of littering or throwing certain goods away. I wanted my followers to feel the same way as I did so we met up and discussed the goals. I had written down everything we needed to know. By creating team norms, we were able to interact with one another, approach decisions, and solve problems (Lussier, R. & Achua, C. 2010, p. 286). I was responsible for shaping these norms and making sure my team understood the goal and helped them achieve it. We discussed the plan and steps in detail necessary to take, including resources needed. I wanted two streets to be cleaned of recyclables, Bowery St. and Center St.
