Reflection

          As a result of participating in the LEAD 201 course I have gained a newfound view on the many shapes and forms of leadership and what being a leader entails. Leaders can come in all different styles; some are born to lead, while others learn to. Not every situation calls for the same leadership style, and some require multiple leaders. I have grown to recognize when someone should step up and when it is time to step down. My peers have shared their personal stories and I have shared mine.

          After taking this course, I am committed to achieving instilling leadership skills in my peers. LEAD 201 has shown me the importance of leadership skills in everyday activities, as well as throughout the course of your life. Whether your personal life, or career. As a current leader at work, I will strife to empower my coworkers to achieve high standards of food safety and allow others to develop their own leadership skills.

          One year from now, my goal as a leader is to see more of my peers stepping up into leadership positions. I would like to see at least four of my current coworkers gain a promotion as a direct result of showcasing leadership skills, and at least 10 of my sorority sisters elected into new positions in chapter. By this time next year, I hope to have an executive board position in chapter and be a member of management at my workplace.
