Manage Conflict

As a leader, conflict management plays a big role in everyday life. When a possible conflict starts, the leader needs to be able to find new ways to get around the issue without having to make a big deal possibly in front of others.

Relationships

In leadership, relationships are very important. Having the ability to talk with people and making sure to keep friendships with everyone through out the school and organization a person is in. To me, relationships are very important in general, like said before being able to have a relationships with every person is great. Being friendly is always the best, people are not always great friends with everyone and nor do leaders. I think leaders just need to be able to be nice to everyone and let people know he or she cares about them.

Admired Leader

The leader I admire

The leader I admire is Rosa Parks. I think Rosa has done so much to change the way our country is today. Not only, did Rosa stand up for what she felt was right, she also changed the rights for women, and African Americans. Rosa Parks got arrested because she would not give her seat up on the bus, due to that fact of that she was arrested like stated before and was  put on trial.

I also picked Rosa, because she changed a tremendous amount for African Americans. If it was not for Rosa and also the help of Martin Luther King Jr. people would not be where they are currently at today. Rosa changed everything, this is why she is called The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement

Words that inspire me as a leader

Words that inspire me

For myself as a person I am inspired when people tell me a simple "good morning", "how are you doing?" When people say this it makes me feel good and makes me also feel that someone cares about me. Words that really inspire me is, when people say "finish strong" hearing those words make me feel that someone believes in me and that I need to show the person that what he or she is saying is being put into use.

Quotes:

 "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."- Albert Einstein (http://rescomp.stanford.edu/)

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."  Famous Quotes

"A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus." - Martin Luther King Jr. ( http://brainyquotes.com/)
 "Imagination is more important than knowledge."- Albery Eistein (http://www.rescomp.stanford.edu/)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Timo Cruz (Coach Carter )

"You said we're a team. One person struggles, we all struggle. One person triumphs, we all triumph." - Jason Lyle (Coach Carter Movie)

“Well...not quite your storybook ending huh...but you played like champions...you never gave up...and champions. They hold their heads high. What you achieved goes way beyond the win-loss column or what'll be on the front page of tomorrow’s paper...what you achieved some people search their whole lives to find...and gentlemen...I am so proud of you. 4 months ago I came to Richmond with a plan. And that plan failed...I came to teach basketball players and you became students...I came to teach boys, and you became men. And for that I thank you. If some walked up to me and told me I could coach any school in the state...you know who I'd choose?" - Samuel Jackson (Coach Carter)
