As a junior I was selected to attend the UC Davis COSMOS program. COSMOS is a four-week summer program organize to give educational experience to determined students. I devoted myself at learning as much as I could from the program which developed confidence, maturity, and understanding in my personal life. Through this, I realize how the world itself is replete with many different obstacles, and it is not as black and white as people usually see it in high school. COSMOS gave me insight into the microbiology of bacterial diseases, but also gave me tools for my post-high school

Throughout Ken Kesey’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the balance of power is challenged in the psychiatric ward. Out of the several leaders that appear in the novel, Nurse Ratched and McMurphy are the most prominent. During Nurse Ratched and McMurphy struggle for power, they share many of the same qualities. It is argued that: “McMurphy and Ratched are alike in intelligence, military service, distinctive (if opposite) clothing, and conventionally masculine qualities” (Evans). These small similarities; however, do not distract the characters from fighting for their individual beliefs.

There is no one quite like Jessica Watts, or as many know her: JWatts. Over the past year, JWatts has impacted the University of Iowa’s campus with her inclusion, affirmations, and new ideas. JWatts sees the leader in you before you even see the leader in you. Without JWatts I would not be the leader I am today and I will be forever grateful.

By putting this recommendation into action now, I expect to become more connected to my coworkers, more visible to upper management, and more capable of making effective decisions in future leadership positions. Finally, my third change will be taking a more energetic approach to furthering my education, so I am able to have the skills I need to make effective decisions with the two-up, two-down approach in mind (Schmalz, 2015, np). In order to understand the goals and motivators of those above me, I need to learn more about their responsibilities and habits. Running Head: C200 TASK 2: LEADERSHIP ANALYSIS 11 “Leadership behavior stems from habitual neural pathways that are developed over time.

From here, I utilised both my position as student leader and my passion for science, to initiate an event that would become a staple in our school’s calendar year – National Science Week. The opportunities continue to this day: now leading another group of amazing young science ambassadors; Meeting one of Australia’s leading science communicators, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki; and now slowly applying and being accepted into three science camps at Australia’s leading universities, representing my school and community at state and national levels. And who do I owe it all to? That one inspiring teacher that I had when I was thirteen years old. Miss Kirstin Janz.

Science, for one session, became fun for these students! I could refer back to this in future

The leadership behaviors at CVS reflects the aforementioned leadership philosophy. In an interview with leaders at CVS headed by Merlo motivates their employees to accomplish more than what is usually expected of them. According to Northouse (2013), the transformational leader plays a vital role in initiating change, where followers and leaders are inextricably bound together in the transformation process (Northouse, 2013). In the case of CVS, this is clearly evident by what Scott Baker, CVS Senior Vice President has to say : “nobody works in solos, we collaborate on concepts and ideas with the goal of providing our customers with best-in-class service and high quality merchandise” (CVS, 2015). CVS’ encouragement of open communication

By scoring it, I got 19 in technical skill, 21 in conceptual skill, and 25 in human skill, which is the highest one.

My metacognition of this chapters and the associations it brings to me, as I move into an educational leadership position lend me a new pair of lens for the need for schools to properly establish a strategic technology plans to oblige administrators and the leadership team with a blueprint to transform schools, particularly the one I currently work at. My school is working diligently to continue to make strives and efforts in phases which we failed to execute appropriately in the first phase due to time constraints. I strongly foresee the need to monitor progress on-going and precisely indicate who is responsible for both monitoring and implementation as my school transition into a blended learning digital learning culture and climate

However, I now have a new perception and appreciation for professors and teaching assistants. It takes a great extent of work and time to put together a large lecture style course. Some of my teaching assistant duties included taking attendances and grading quizzes, test, or papers. I did not realize how much time it went into grading quizzes, test, and papers. Since the tests were composed of a multiple-choice question component in addition to a short essay, I was able to reinforce my past knowledge of concepts and course material when deciding if the essay answers were accurate.

Exercise 3 According to Borkowski (2016), the purpose of the University of Michigan study was to determine the best, most efficient leadership style grounded on two distinct dimensions of leaderships behavior: an employee-centered approach or a production-centered approach (p. 198). The employee-centers leadership took an interest in their employees focusing on interpersonal relationships and accepting their subordinates as having individual differences from their peers (Borkowski, 2016). Production-centered leaders concentrate on tasks, considers employees as a method to accomplishing tasks; researchers discovered general supervision providing support and direction without an authoritative approach produced a higher-level of productivity as compared to the production-centered supervision (Borkowski, 2016). Also, these studies found that productivity is not related to job satisfaction, and the most

I regard this as a rare opportunity for me to take on some new challenges, and I would like to take a chance to develop my leadership skills. Before attending this course, “leadership” is a word quite far away from me, and I only have some basic understandings of it.
