Within the past few weeks I have gone through a lot personally and I have had to adjust my entire life. This might not make sense to many people but I have had to become the leader of my life. Within the past two years I have had someone else be my leader and I was the follower. Thanks to that I have lost my confidence and I have had to overcome a lot to adjust of losing that person. Now I am more confident and I have taken control of my life and I have become the leader of MY life. I have learned a lot from this class both in the classroom and out of the classroom. I have learned about what it takes to be a leader, what it is to also be a follower at the same time. In order to lead you have to be able to listen to your followers and almost take a walk in their shoes.
My groups project was about Erin Brockovich. I am very happy that we chose this movie because it was the best time for me to watch this movie. To watch a true story about a woman who had several children and who was divorced twice and had to be on her own. This showed me that things could be a lot worse and she took control of her life and was a leader both to her family and to the people at her work. I have taken her outlook on life and her work ethic and applied it to my life. I have learned to never give up and never doubt yourself. If you really put your mind towards something you will accomplish what you set out to do. I have shown greater leadership skills at my work and everyone is noticing it. My family and friends are noticing that my leadership skills have improved and I am now confident in taking control of a situation and being able to listen to my followers.
I am very glad that this class was a requirement for my degree. It taught me a lot about the business world and also about myself. This class makes you think about what you want out of life and what you need to do to get there and this makes you a leader. You learn from your mistakes and your life so when you lead a group of people you understand when they come to you with confidence about issues. This class has turned me into a confident and independent leader and I am very thankful for that.
