Leadership

Introduction

Life is a journey that is guided by the motivation and lessons that are learned in the past. Almost all the decisions in life are guided by the exposure to some situations, scenarios, and circumstances that can either be positive or negative. Likewise, my life is also a collection of motivation and inspirations that I attained from some experiences, paving the way for professional goals. My professional goals are a reflection of my past and need for seeking avenues where I can use my experiences, learn and let others learn.

Discussion

A flashback to my life reveals that there are a lot of past events and occasions that have made my leadership experience. These experiences began from the time I participated in sports. Although I only participated in football, it was enough to embellish my life with the beauty of leadership. During my participation, I came to know that winning and losing are just two opposite realities but they are ultimately connected to each other. I came to know that leadership is not always about guiding others and giving instructions. In fact, leadership is a fountain of positivity that arises from within and motivates everyone to positive goals. Goal setting is the main feature of effective leadership. I used to set goals that were empty of any kind of personal interest because I always played as a team, not just as an individual. There are a lot of cases in which I had the option to be manipulated by the materialistic resources but I never let negativities harm and distort by goals. I always tried to achieve my goals with positivity and cooperation. Football matches were meant for recreation but they taught me lifelong lessons that are termed as the attributes of leaders such as, cooperation, motivation, and empathy. I learned that success is to stay positive rather than berating others. Being a part of that team and with all the prizes we won, my team started a volunteer group to help the needy. The voluntary program taught me the significance of “go-getter attitude”, a leadership trait that can help any of the individuals to become a self-motivator. I came to understand the underlying essence of willingness that can help to commit to something that can drive passions or evokes passion. While working for the people who were living in substantial life standards, different teams were formed. I guided my teams comprising four members and I realized what it meant to be leaders rather than a manager. I realized how a leader is positioned at a better level as compared to a manager. I can say that the internship inculcated many positive attributes in me that were not present before. Within that voluntary action, there are a lot of incidents that made me meet my inner self in a modified form. I understood and felt the need and beauty to have a strong will without getting anything in return.

These experiences are the major and strong motivation in formulating my future professional goals. If I would not have undergone the moral training in the form of these experiences, I would be one of the materialistic robots who are blindly chasing the trends just to become one of the characters of the elite factory. My professional goals are designed by the positive leadership experiences that I had in my life. Regardless of my position in life, I will always prefer to be a leader first. My definition of leadership is never confined or limited to the worldly affairs where one of the individuals is given the task to command others to do something. There is another dimension of leadership, that is solely associated with the moral support and motivation that can help someone do something extraordinary and then reflect it as a motivation for the future. I want to gain new experiences that can empower my growth both psychologically and morally because experiences can help to play an exceptional role in the world for generations. I want to understand positive communication because many of the workplace issues occur when there are misunderstood objectives and goals. I want to learn those skills that can help me proceed with ambitious and positive approach because many of the skills are left unrepresented when there is no place of expression. I want to make positive and beneficial use of my skills so that I can achieve some commendable goals in my life. I want to get more professional training so that I can be pro-active in whatever field I will choose. I want to gain experiences that can help me improve the low functioning work processes and turn them into something that can restore perfection. I also have some goals to work in my dream places so that I can see how growth and success come to you. I want to be an emblem of inspiration where I can learn actual professional knowledge and training. Learning never stops and there are a lot of white-collar job holders and leaders who are unaware of their role and the good they can do to this world. I want to learn a lot and every new thing so that I can help people learn how to improve performance so that the gap between the gadget guided people and primitive minds can be diminished. After reaching to a senior position which would be professionally relevant, I will shift my interest to impart those factors that can help people know that they are not only workers, but they are living beings full of life and new vision. I want to build the courage that can help me strengthen my professional life in a positive way so that people can see that there is no specific standard required for playing a positive role in this world.

Conclusion

Life is one of the biggest opportunities that when used properly, can bring positive change in the world. I want to learn, experience and do something that can in return be beneficial to the organization for which I will be working. I see myself as an agent of change, and I want to make positive use of my experiences, skill and whatever I have learned.
