My leadership map

My leadership map begins during my childhood. It has been always reinforced throughout my life from my parents and family that I am a natural born leader. After hearing that s many times it became embedded in my brain. They praised the behaviors that displayed my leadership abilities and never doubted that it came natural to me. Since my childhood, I have aways thought that I was a natural born leader. I was born with the traits that made me this way and noticed within my peers that some of them didn't have he desires I did to lead the group. Since embarking on this journey I souly believed that people were either born with or without these qualities. As I went through college I surrounded my self with other leaders and pushed my self to learn the skills and competencies that would separate me from mediocre leaders to superb leaders that made a difference. Along with my parents, family, brothers in my fraternity, I was my coach and number one fan on my path to becoming a leader that transformed not only my life but every ones life I was in. My favorite leader is Coach Boone from Remember the Titan. He has a frequent presence within this blog because of his abilities to have a positive affect on others' lives. I enjoy watching leaders that can change the lives of those that follow them. As I tried more to be like this I realized it wasn't the traits that I possessed or the behaviors I learned from my parents that made an individual an inspirational leader, it was the passion within the person that enabled them to be how they were. You donut have to be born a certain way to have a positive affect on and individuals lives you have to have the inspiration, motivation and true desire to lead people towards the end goal. I feel that because of my path that I have been on, I am able to become the leader I need to be in certain situations in order to be effective. Because of this class I can portray in words and through my actions to prospective employers and followers that it is a benefit to them to choose me. It has allowed me to leave a lasting impression on the lives that I enter.
