Personal Statement Leadership And Technical Leadership

COMS 201 has been an interesting, yet somewhat difficult class. In the past I have enjoyed online classes because I can work at my own pace and do my homework and learning when I had the time. When I look back, I have realized how much work I have put into a two credit hour class and this class was not what I was expecting at all. I was thinking the class would be laid back and enjoyable. Sometimes I enjoyed the class, but most of the time this class was a pain. From this class though, I feel that my leadership journey has changed and I have grown in how I view leadership in my daily life. In this reflection, I will discuss my leadership journey with this class, review my journal entries if I saw growth or not, and some advice I would give my future self to help with my work of leadership. To help with my leadership journey, one of the topics that we learned in class was the idea of adaptive leadership and technical leadership. This class wanted us to have the aspect of adaptive leadership and continue to use that idea in our daily life. As I reflect on the aspect of adaptive leadership, I should review what adaptive leadership is. Adaptive leadership is the idea to help people adapt in their environment as well thrive when tough challenges arise. The idea is to also be able both as group and individually, to take on the process of change by understanding what the status quo is and the difference between adaptive leadership and technical leadership.
