What I hope to get out of ESHEA 2570

In the beginning, I picked up this class in order to fulfill full time requirements. However, after attending class, I am very interested in the meaning of leadership. My leadership roles have seemed very broad to me in the past; however, now I feel like my experiences as a leader are very condensed. I feel picking up this class will help me to sharpen, and build upon my leadership skills. I have been placed in leadership roles my entire life, and I hope to be the absolute best leader I can while in those roles. I feel that this class will help me broaden my idea of a leader, as well as ways to be the leader. A leader varies based on situations, and I feel that this class will help me broaden my ability to take on those roles and fulfill them accordingly. Along with leadership comes the role of the followers. The follower role is also very important in a leadership situation. The followers are the ones who support the leader, follow suit with the leader, as well as produce much of the work behind the leader. If the followers are not there to support the leader, the leader has nothing to lead. The followers are necessary, and under glorified in most situations. However, in many situations, the leader is a very necessary part as well. I hope to learn the balance between the two, while participating in this class. After learning the different types of leadership, such as behavioral or reciprocal, I hope to learn the key way to become a successful leader. Whether it is a combination of a few or a single type, I hope to understand the special ways to deal with every situation ideally. I hope to fulfill each role I am placed in. I hope to learn how to ideally be lead, and in turn lead. I hope to learn how to be an open leader, and to take my followers opinions, wants, and needs into consideration. I feel like this class will help me in my future career. I hope to be a nurse. In this field, I will be required to lead by example, and in a verbal sense. I will be forced to take charge of workers, as well as be taken charge of by a leader who resides in a position above me. This class will help me broaden my abilities in the work field, in the classroom, and in activities outside of the classroom.
