I am excited to start a new semester in the Leadership Program. Reflecting, I know I have already learned some many new and exciting things, but I am excited for this particular class, as I feel it truly focuses one leadership.
IN EDL 610, each student will be learning and discovering the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. By analyzing and understanding the Seven Habits, it is essential for all students to ensure that they have completed the process by learning and teaching the concepts to others. Whether it be fellow students or fellow staff members. This can best be broken down into three categories:
1) What I Think
2) What I Say
3) What I do
Dr. Pumpian described and explained the first habit as "BE PROACTIVE!" When I was listening to the lecture by Dr. P, it made me think of my days working as a bartender. A bartender has a enourmaous amount of work and I use to say to others that it is better to anticipate what the guest needs. vs react. If all the steps of service are covered, the guest will be happy, which also realist in a better tip! To me this is reaffirmed via the example Dr. Pumpian gave of the "Car Salesman." If the car carsalesman sells his idea with the supports the car salesman is likely to earn more sales. For example, Poway Honda has a salesman named Tim. I helped my mom buy her Accord a few years ago and after working with Tim, the salesman, I went back a week later and purchased a car for myself.
I teach a Fire Academy to high school students and I am in control of everything. From what I think, to what I say and what I do. All three combined impacts the students. Meaning, what I think is what they learn, what I say is how they learn and what I do is a result of getting the work done. I model the appropriate behavior and expectations for the students, which allows them to see what should be done. I have a broad understanding of sphere of influence in regard to para military academies, as not only have I been in several, I have taught them for years. Lead by example!
I want to be proactive in increasing the students voice in the grade level fire science academies. I want to focus on the stronger students aiding the students who may not be doing as well. If the academically stronger students help teach, just like me, it builds a better foundation and understanding for the subject or content which is being taught. Students helping students, which also creates a better culture.
Not only will I increase my sphere of influence, students will aid the school and the community by expanding theirs.
