Rrotc Leadership Self Analysis
The leadership roles I have had the opportunity of serving in developed me into the leader I am today. After Matriculation I was a timid and indecisive leader. I questioned all my decisions and found it difficult to trust others. I looked for opportunities to blend in and not challenge myself as a leader. When I joined ROTC I still had some of the same reservations in my leadership abilities. I quickly became more decisive and confident once I was acclimated to the AFROTC culture and understood what was expected of me at Field Training. Once I graduated Field Training, I regained my confidence and decision making abilities. This, however, morphed into arrogance because I plateaued in developing myself as a leader. I took the time since then

    Like all military officers, I was trained and groomed to be a leader from the time I raised my right hand and took the oath of office. The most important contribution to my success was the emphasis I placed on putting junior member’s needs before mine.

    The first thought of what a leader is calls to mind the great leaders the world has seen in the past; for example, Aung San Suu Kyi is a prime example of a leader who literally gave up her own freedom to oppose military rule in Burma, or Myanmar, in order to gain a democratic rule. She, along with many other outstanding leaders are the people young leaders of today look up to which includes myself. Throughout high school I have a wonderful opportunity to participate in my school’s Marine Corps JROTC program which focuses on Leadership Education and preparing young leaders for the future. In my fourth year of high school, I have the greatest opportunity I have ever been offered before by being the MCJROTC program’s Cadet Commanding Officer.…

    Leadership is a very powerful trait that many wish to possess, but only few have the ability to appropriately carry out the task. It is a trait that is not only God-given, but also learned throughout life as we are given many leaders to observe as we journey throughout childhood and into adulthood. With my service in the military approaching 28 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve under some very talented leaders within my varied career in the Air National Guard. I’ve also been given many opportunities to travel to a variety of places and countries that most people that I grew up with in Mississippi only dream of visiting. Since joining the Air National Guard in 1989, it has been a rewarding career both as an enlisted…

    I am a leader. I have all the qualities that make a great leader, but I was not born this way.Experiences and how someone reacts to those experiences are what truly make a leader. One of the most influential experiences I have gone through is called the Lebanon High School Marching Band. I am certain that I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for marching band. Before coming to high school I already had leadership qualities, but band helped bring all those great qualities together and helped me get past my two major flaws: my lack of self-confidence and the fact that I was probably one of the shyest people you would EVER meet. When I joined marching band, I spent most of my waking hours sweating and suffering alongside wonderful people that I longed to…

    Through the course, I learned about leadership different styles and how they emerged and developed from the Trait Theories that focus on the leader characteristics to the Goal Orientations Theories that require collaborative methods between leaders and followers. As I mentioned before, I had always linked the leadership weight to the leader leading characteristics. However, I would argue now that leadership is gained through practice and experience and it is powered through followers. As a school leader, I will use a mixture of leadership theories. First, I will build my school on an ethical basement and then, I will structure a vision that is shared between everyone in the school. At this point of my study, I believe that the type of leadership…

    When I was just a Cadet Basic I wanted to be a leader right then! I came to realize with the help of my commonsense and my leaders that I had to become a follower before I was ready to lead. I learned that “followership” was defined as reaching a specific goal while exercising respect for authority, a positive attitude, integrity, and self discipline. With that I understood that all leaders are followers. As I progressed up through the program and its echelons, I took my innate leadership abilities and the skills I learned to become a successful leader and shaped myself into a respected leader. To this day I am a Cadet Chief Master Sergeant/1st Sergeant, about to become a Lieutenant.…

    I believe joining the Army ROTC will help grow me into a stronger leader through the experience, knowledge, and skills I will gain. As an Eagle Scout I have learned some important leadership skills. I believe I can exploit these skills in an Army career as well as build upon them and enhance them through ROTC. I have discovered that experiences and challenges support growth and maturity. Having an ordinary job, unchallenging work, or a mediocre position in life do not appeal to me. I want to have colorful experiences, mentally demanding challenges, and hard work so I can mature into a stronger and wiser leader.…
