Understanding what a great leader looks like is essential to becoming one. Knowing that leaders emerge will help you understand that someone can develop leadership skills and "doesn't have to be born" as the myth says. Listening to understand and implementing yourself into projects or situations for your employees is very helpful and shows great leadership qualities.  

Anyone can be a leader because they all have leadership qualities in them. I never thought could be a leader when I was younger but now that I am older, I realize that I am a leader to many people in my life. my students are one of them because they see me almost every day and some might look up to me and learn from what I do. I want to be a great leader to them and lead by example. 

I fully believe that everyone has leadership abilities, they may just need help developing those abilities. Truly building relationships and getting to know the individuals you serve as a leader is imperative in creating and leading a successful group. The same way that we have to build relationships with students, building relationships with those we lead is the foundation for everything else. 

I think by demonstrating I can be a considerate leader will help my students feel more open to expressing any difficulties they may be having.  This doesn't mean I have to be buddy-buddy with them, but it allows them to know I am approachable and willing to help when they face problems.

I love the learning tab of being a considerate leader, I have worked for many leaders who did not grasp that concept and due to missing that that leader always had turn over often. The best practice I can say that has made me  effective leader is understanding that we are all human. Being able to have that boundary of respect and being considerate of others and managing that is what can make any leader very effective. 

When being a good leader, you need to know when to say "no", you need to be able to keep your emotions in check, and you need to be able to be there for your employees, while also keeping that professional boundary. 

A great leader scaffolds to help others develop leadership qualities. They set firm boundaries but maintain respect between employees while fostering a positive work environment. They are not afraid to get to work and won't leave their team without support.

Learned leadership skills that all leaders should have.

Being a leader is more than about being in charge, it is listening to what others are asking/saying and taking into account what will be best for the group.

Developing professional boundaries with employees and keeping emotions out of professional decisions.

Leadership skills are important.

Take steps with students to be more personal

Effective leaders are helpful and understanding

I enjoy best practices

In this class I learned that partially blaming oneself to a problem employee is not appropriate.

Today, I was reassure that management styles should not be all encompassing for supervised staff. I've learning that managers should take the time to learn their individual employees because they each bring a different benefactor to the organization. In such managers should always self-evaluate and reflect prior to meeting with their employees because often times the reflections and actions are projected onto their employees, and can lead to conflict, resistance or push-back. I also learned that managers should conform to positive daily productive process because their actions and attitudes often contribute the to the daily environment and success of the… >>>

Below are a few important best practices that will motivate and inspire teams.

Empower People
Provide Support
Communicate the Vision
Show Appreciation and Value
Know Your Employees

It's always goo to adjust managing styles to fit new groups and to always listen and seek advise from experience peers for problem solving. 

Hello,

As a leader it is important to always use empathy and listen very carefully to all of your staff. Remember we need to act professional at all times in order to show the staff the level of how we want our team to run. Make sure we use our daily core values of respect and trust in order to build dependability and a stronger team. Lastly, it isn't easy to lead but what I noticed is just like in the training, leadership can be developed, and practiced for success some day for all staff members. 

We all somehow have a specific goal in life. From young age we dream of something or we have a wish, we want to be or to have. Discipline, the entourage, the environment, that strong desire within must be the driving force to get you there. That vision to be must be strong enough that nothing, no one can stop you. Of course, obstacles, friends even our own bad habits might keep you short of that goal transformed into a vision. It takes more than the idea to be to reach a specific goal.
