The other day in class, we had to share some of our leadership values and ideas with one another and then write each others "leadership" story. It was interesting to see how every one's style is just a little bit different. Every one's story had a slightly different focus on how they would be a leader. At first, I started thinking "Oh no! I need to change my style because someone else is better and more effective than mine!" But then I realized that I liked being different. I want to stand out as leader and leave an impression on the people I work with. I want to inspire my employees to have a dream and not just be there for the day-to-day requirement. I want my leadership to inspire passion in others. Whether its passion for hospitality or a passion for painting, having the passion to go after your dreams is an extremely powerful motivator. And for me so far, having superiors who have passion for their career, has a very positive impact on the work environment and overall success. They are a role model for someone I hope to become.
So now that I've rambled for long enough, here is my story...
Aby sees leadership as a collaborative effort. Through her experience and research of leadership she has created her own vision of what leadership is. A leader should be someone who is there to help their employees grow, learn, and succeed. A leader is there to watch over their employees and succeed together. Honesty is a clear value that resonates from the leaders down to the employees. Aby says that if they are not honest then there is no room for respect. Aby is going to be a leader that will see herself eye-to-eye with her employees, not someone who is looking down or over them. She will treat everyone with respect and push her employees and herself to grow and learn together.
