Maxwell Ndiangui’s Leadership Reflection

Below you will find the answers to the Mid-Term Reflection you completed. Read through your responses and feel free to
make any changes or add information you feel is missing. Ms. Bumstead will make some comments on your reflection with
responses to your reflection, feedback, observations, encouragement, and ideas for improvement. You will get an email to
let you know once this is done. At the end of the year, you will have class time to complete a Final Reflection. During this
time, you will answer the same questions in the “‘Final Reflection” column of this document. The point of this process is for
you to be mindful about your growth in this class - where are you right now and where do you want to be by the end of the
year. Your teacher’s role in that is to help you find that path.

What would you say has been your greatest contribution to leadership class thus far? Why?

My greatest contribution to leadership class this far

has been my positive attitude. You will never catch
me in class with a bad attitude, I will always bring a
positive attitude to anything we do. The events we
have ran, the class discussions. I have always had
a passion for leadership, so bringing the correct
attitude is easy, I always want to have fun and a
good time, no matter what we do.

What type of leader do you see yourself as at this point in the year? Has this changed since the start of the semester? If so, how?

I see myself as a democratic leader because I have

been delegating tasks to the group but only tasks
that everyone agrees on. I want the group to be
happy and comfortable with whatever we are doing.
If the team is all in, we work better, that has been
my leading style this past year.

How do you plan to further develop your leadership skill during this semester? What skills do you hope to improve or acquire by year’s end?

I wish to become more accepting of people’s ideas,

I want to hear other people's ideas and be able to
fully understand them before commenting on them.
I tend to shut people down when I don't agree fully
with it, just a bad habit, so I plan to really work on
that throughout our remaining time.

What do you see as your greatest weakness as a student leader at this point? How can you overcome this weakness in the future?

My greatest weakness as a leader, is my lack of

attention. I get distracted with any little thing and I
have always been like that. The worst is when i am
on my phone and just completely miss everything
that took place. I am trying hard to get out of this
but as I grow, I think I have overcame this a bit.

What are your major goals for this year?

I want to do something for the world that will

change and/or shape it for the better. I want to be a
role model to young kids and give them the

motivation to follow their dreams. I want to give the

world something no amount of money can buy, a
priceless change to our modern society, for the
better of course.
