LEADERSHIP REFLECTION: A PERSONAL MISSION
By: Rachel Barto
MY MISSION STATEMENT
My goals, for not only leadership, but for life in general
involve equality for all.
All my life, I’ve been very interested in civil right of all
types of people, may they be black, white, gay, straight,
democrat, or republican, I strongly believe in the
acceptance of everyone.
I feel as though our nation would thrive if we could
embrace equality.
FROM THE READING
Northouse says, “Authentic leadership develops in
people over a lifetime and can be triggered by major
life events, such as severe illness or a new career.”
For me, becoming a color guard captain my senior
year of high school really formed my authentic
leadership style. I realized how I wanted to lead my
guard and how I wanted them to interact with me.
FROM THE READING CONT.
Northouse also states, “Authentic leaders understand their
own values and behave toward others based on these values.”
They have a “true north” and know “where they are going.”
I’ve always had a general sense of where I wanted to go in
life and how I wanted to be perceived. I knew being a follower
would not last long for me, because I loved guiding people in
the right direction. However, I don’t feel like I behave
towards other based on my views. Being a leader means you
understand everyone’s personal views and values and doing
nothing to disrespect them. Instead of behaving towards them
in a certain way, I try to hear what they have to say.
QUESTIONS THAT ARISE
Sometimes I question myself with: “Am I doing
everything in my power to try to make this world a
better place?” Or “What else can I do to advocate for
world problems that are important to me?”
I struggle with finding answers to these rhetorical
questions because well, I’m just a kid. However, age
is only a number, and if I want to start somewhere, it
starts now.
CONCLUSION
Moving forward with my life means learning from my
mistakes and weaving them into my leadership. I wish to
continue my life with:• Confidence
• To stand up for what I believe in.
• Hope• To continue fighting and believing that our world can become
one.
• Optimism• To guide any followers I may have with a positive outlook on life.
• Resilience • To keep going no matter what obstacles I may face.
