PoP Leader Application Due 3/3

Hello!

I am running for the position of “Officer” in the Global Connections Club. We are a group of concerned kids who are trying to do our part to meet the United Nations millennium goals in the areas of poverty, education, health, and sustainable development. Our club mentors have expressed to us that strong leaders should possess the following qualities:

Honesty: good leaders have to be honest. If those under your charge trust you, then they will follow you.

Patience and Compassion: good leaders take the time to help their group members so that they can perform their assigned tasks as the leader intended. They are also sensitive to their group member’s concerns, and support them when they need it.

Respect: good leaders respect other people’s opinions and treat them as they would want to be treated.

Responsibility: good leaders take responsibility for the decisions they make. Good leaders don’t blame other people – they deal with situations that arise and take responsibility for the results.

Reliability And Determination: good leaders follow through on their responsibilities. They set a good example by being diligent and conscientious.

Confidence: good leaders believe in themselves.

Enthusiasm: good leaders get psyched about the task they are assigning. They emphasize its importance, and roll up their sleeves and demonstrate. Enthusiasm is contagious!

Decisiveness: good leaders gather relevant information, gather input from their group members, and make a safe and reasonable decision based on the information that you have available. Often, leaders have to make important decisions very quickly and are psychologically prepared to do this

Courage: good leaders have the ability to speak the truth, even when it is difficult
Most importantly, they are not afraid to admit when they make a mistake.

Lead and inspire people. Don't try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be lead.
