A Leadership Curriculum for College Students assert that deontological originates from the Greek word “deos” or “duty” (p.9-4). Action is viewed as ethical in the deontological approach when action itself is appropriate. Instances include “telling the truth, keeping promises, being fair, and respecting others” (A Leadership Curriculum for College Students, 9-4). Additionally, the action is determined by a duty to perform the action. Thus, the theory emphasises the actions of leaders and their ethical responsibility to do what is appropriate.”…

"A leader is one who influences others to attain goals. Leaders orchestrate change, set direction, and motivate people to overcome and move the organization toward its ideal future" (Bateman & Snell, 2004, p30). An effective leader will delegate tasks to other individuals and trust him or her to carry out the assigned task to completion. In the Spokane Public School, the principal in each school holds the role of leader. The job is for the administrator to understand the process of education and the state and federal regulations that mandate education. The administrator is then able to communicate effectively to all instructional staff the curriculum that needs to be implemented in each classroom.…

It is implicit that an educational leader should promote the success of every student by advocating and effectively implementing the 6 standards of Educational Leadership. 2…

Throughout my experiences, I have gained insight into what makes an effective and respected leader. Correspondingly, I have learned that maintaining group focus while avoiding dominating every decision is vital to have fruitful administrative endeavors. Being a youth representative for my church and a volunteer coordinator for my school’s chapter of National Honor Society have required efficient uses of my leadership skills. As I continue through life, I hope to foster my leadership abilities and use them to unite people and attain our mission.…
Through CFJ I have led students in service in multiple service work as we serve those who are marginalized. My service work is a form of unselfish leadership because it is unpaid and requires hard work, intentionality, patience, solidarity, and understanding. In addition, it also requires education as we educate participants who we lead and serve with. Through CFJ, I have served as an Alternative breaks site leader, Lydia's House site leader and served in the X-change program as a site coordinator at Homework club, Evanston, and St. Vincent DePaul. I do all these because it is the universal good of the world as it gives those who we serve joy and happiness as they feel that they are loved in the…
My 22 of years as a Non-Commissioned Officer and 27 total years of service in the Army has shaped how I define leadership. Simply put, I believe leadership is the balancing of two competing priorities, the accomplishment of the mission and the welfare of the people that are in your charge. I see those two priorities being symbiotic because without the people I can’t accomplish the mission and if I do not have a mission then I don’t need the people. Others can probably think of a million other subcategories that help define leadership, but I believe those are the two overarching things leadership encompasses.…
The leadership influences for me started on the first Monday morning quarters onboard the CGC Yocona. I was right out of recruit training, firing on all cylinders and ready to tow the Coast Guard line. Quarters was held on the mess deck and the young BM3 was handing out work lists for the day. I did not know who he was but I watched and listened to everyone call him by his first name. Once orders were given out to all parties he then asked if there were any questions. I was not introduced nor given a work party so I raised my hand to inquire where I was to go. I mistakenly asked him by his first name where I was to go. The morning turned from bright and casual to tense and stormy in an instant as he verbally tore into me as loud as possible. This degraded and embarrassed me which…
I have been an assistant teacher, Vacation Bible School leader, and Acolyte leader. These positions have included teaching a small group of children from the age of three to ten about Jesus and being an altar helper or Acolyte. I have learned compassion working with these children that you cannot get anywhere else. Also at my church, I have gone on four mission trips. On these trips, I have done everything from making beds at a homeless shelter to setting up a firework tent during a thunderstorm. Through mission trips I have been given a servant’s heart and a love for serving.…

Henceforth, I have gained and developed my organisational and leadership…
My favorite opportunity to be a leader is at LDS girl’s camp as a YCL. For a whole week, I had the opportunity to serve the girls I was in charge of. I made sure they were where they were supposed to be on time, led devotionals with them, taught them certification, and simply had fun with them. I have learned through this experience and others that when I lead and serve, it blesses me more than those I am supposed to be serving. I have learned more about myself and what I am capable of. I have been taught by those whom I serve. I have also learned how precious each one of our Heavenly Father’s children are to…
