PERSONAL LEADERSHIP PROFILE
Part I
I am a Chinese and I grew up in New Zealand since I was the age of four years. I am Bi- lingual. In high school, I was able to attain good grades until I joined University. I was very outgoing until my teenage years when everything changed. Currently, I am a 3rd-year university student. I work as a project manager at Air New Zealand. I believe that not all leaders can be famous like Martin Luther King or Benjamin Franklin. Most leaders are ordinary people. Sometimes one can walk down the street and run into someone who is a powerful leader and you don't know. I am a good leader. Although people may believe that leaders are born and not made, I believe that anyone can become a good leader if one dares to do it. Many words come into my mind when I want to describe what makes me a good leader.
As a leader I am honest. I value integrity because I know that integrity is a supreme leadership quality that will remain unquestionable in my career path. Honesty and integrity are important elements that make a good leader. My followers cannot be honest yet I lack these qualities myself. For me to succeed as a leader, I am supposed to stick to these values, because without ethics, it is impossible to achieve anything. I am also very confident because this quality assists me to ensure that other people can follow my commands. My teacher once told me that if am not sure about my decisions and abilities it will become very impossible for my subordinates to follow me. As a leader, I need to ooze with confidence and be assertive so that I will be able to gain respect and trust from my followers. My degree of confidence has made my followers trust me since I became a leader in Air New Zealand.
I have also been able to inspire other people by setting a good example. I can attest that things have not been easy but when things get tough my subordinates will always look up to me. How I have reacted has made me gain trust from them. I have learned to handle things positively and think positively and this is depicted in my actions. I can easily overcome challenges in the future. I am a committed person because I know a lot of people are looking up to me as a leader. I have had a smooth leadership because of commitment and passion. This is because all my subordinates have respected and this has, in turn, helped me to perform better. My predecessors once told me that if I lack passion and commitment, it will be very hard to motivate other people to achieve their goals.
What separates a leader from a follower is the ability to be innovative and creative. Today the world is changing rapidly. Technology has changed how people operate today. Being creative and innovative has assisted me to maintain my leadership position in the organization. I have been able to stand out from the crowd through my ideas. I have also been able to come up with unique ideas and these ideas have assisted my followers to make their goals a reality. For example last year I came up with a research project on how we could reduce the rates unemployment in the country. I received some recommendations from top-notch organizations and leaders who wanted to im...
