Personal Growth



I have always been one of those people who ends up in the limelight, good or bad.  No matter what job I take on, I find a way to learn everything and anything that is connected to that job.  You would think this is a good thing, but yet somehow there is always someone that is bothered by what I know and how much I know. If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say to me (with no admiration at all): "How do you know that?"

I have read and watched all the videos for week 1.  I even started this blog early.  I am ready to learn how to take my strengths and weaknesses and use them to become a strong leader.  The truth of the matter is that I can move into a leadership position fairly quickly; that's not my problem.  My problem is staying in the leadership position. Once I am tapped by an administrator as a leader, there is someone ready to disprove my abilities.  I am as much a culprit of that as anyone.  I am my own worst enemy. Hopefully, through this course I will strengthen my personal leadership skills (stop self-sabotaging) and be able to lead from anywhere in the line.
