Taking some leadership roles is not only important in business but in every part of our life. Leading a group and being a leader comes with a lot of responsibility. I learned a lot about leadership in this class that will help me in the future to be successful.
My dream is to start my own company one day, so I have to practice leadership every day of my life. I already talked about how much I improved regarding to emotional intelligence in the Emotional Intelligence post. I think I demonstrated all the 5 leadership practices in my group. One of my teammates final evaluation about me was “Daniel modeled the way by being on time to meetings, being optimistic about the progress on the proposal and presentations, and by volunteering to do the first presentation. When we had meeting, he asked questions, challenging the process. Finally, Daniel enabled others to act. He demonstrated this by supporting the ideas of the team and being respectful to others.” Following these steps really helped me grow as a person and be a better teammate. I worked on every single one of the 5 practices and the emotional intelligence and I asked for feedbacks from my teammates, which really helped the process of my improvement. I don’t think anyone can become a great leader during ten weeks, but I do think that this time helped me a lot to take the first step. I would like to keep working on these practices not only in school, but also in my every day life.
