Welcome

Welcome to my Leadership Portfolio!  

Please use the navigation to the right to explore my thoughts and experiences in my leadership journey.  As John F. Kennedy said, "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other"- I will continue to grow and develop as a leader each day.

I Am a Leader
By: Samantha Heather 

I am a leader.  I work with others to get things done.  I set goals, organize things, delegate, work hard, supervise, and commit to a task.  I run meetings, I make speeches, I communicate, I initiate action.  People listen to me and look up to me.  But I am so much more.

I am a visionary.  I dream big.  I see and see again.  Not only do I see the many possibilities in a situation, but I see the endless possibilities in people.  I see their potential and I work hard to help them reach it.

I am a vehicle of transformation.  I believe in people.  I give them the tools and confidence they need to rise to the next level- to become leaders themselves.  I trust in the people I work with and give them opportunities to grow.

I am a follower.  I recognize when it is time to step down and let someone else do great work.  I know my strengths, but I also know my weaknesses.  I know when another person will be better for the task.

I am student.  I am human.  I am always learning from the world and the people around me.  I am not perfect and I have much room to grow.  I make mistakes and I try to face them with honesty and integrity.  I learn from my mistakes to be better the next time around.  I use my experiences to improve myself and what I do.

I am leader, but I am also so much more.
