I was not surprised and I feel like mine were pretty much in line with what the text says. I am surprised that I did not think to put communication. I truly feel that is one of the most important traits of a leader.

I wasn't surprised and feel like my answers were definitely in line with what this training outlined as an effective leader. I do like that it was pointed out that to get respect you have to give respect. I feel like so often leaders automatically assume their "role" entitles them to so much and they don't have to work for respect or reciprocate it.

I feel that my answer lined up with the examples that were given. To be an effective leader you need to be mindful of those things throughout your day. It's important to make sure you are being an example and good communicator to those around you if you expect the same from staff.

I would say mine lined up pretty well, the one thing i left out was the unity in the work place. The work place will run way smoother when everyone is working together and are on the same page.

I think my answer lined up pretty well with the points on the following page. It definitely made me think more though about my role and how it can be powerful in a supportive way.

Mine lined up well but there are so many more skills to being a leader. Looking forward to learning more.

I felt that my answer aligned up with the characteristics that were laid out. It's important for a leader to be well rounded and approachable that way their team can feel that their intentions are to help to better the team as a whole and not just to feel "powerful" as a leader.

No i am not surprise. if a leader or director has responsibility need to have characteristics of leader because will fix many problems and need to have a very good relationship with all the workers.

There was no surprise really for me on what I said on page 5.

None of the characteristics surprised me, however I did miss a huge one, effective communication BOTH written and verbal. the communication part is huge in working with different personalities.

My previous comments lined up pretty well with what was presented, but I did leave out the communication piece. I agree that strong verbal and written communication are important elements in effective leadership. I was not surprised by any aspects of it.

some of mine lined up but surprisingly I realized that it's more about values and intention and less about the power. I try to strive for a balanced leadership in my classroom. My assistant is encouraged to assist in all aspects of the teaching, from planning to execution, from supporting my choices on communicating with parents and children, to sharing new ideas in every aspect. We work as a team and succeed as a team. I want her to feel inspired to follow in my footsteps and strive for leadership in the future.

My answers lined up fairly well with the list. I'm not suprised by anything on the list because every characteristic is valid and is important to have for a well rounded and strong leafer. I value a leader to be apart of the team and not to be the end all say all.

I feel I did pretty well hitting the key componets to what a Leader really is. A valuable leader will always be part of a team and not demanding.
Respect is always key as well.

A few of mine sorta lined up-they were qualities that could fall under the qualities listed in the last page. None of them surprised me.

Cindy Bruce

I totally agree with all of the qualities of a good leader. I thought the Internal/Personality helped me a lot. I am a take-charge personality. I need to soften that part of my influence.

Stephanie

I found that I focused more on accountability and hadn't yet thought about how important ethical behavior is.

Ireland

None of them surprised me, most of my answers lined up with the list of qualities.

My answers lined up fairly well.

How I felt seemed to line up with how a leader is portrayed within a child care setting. I seem to find myself in a lot of leadership roles hahaha.

Sher

10/14/2018 05:39:07 pm

My answers were in alignment to what was stated. It is important to have a good sense of community in childcare and everyone needs to feel valued.

Andrea

I was not surprised. All four of those characteristics mentioned in the previous slide go hand in hand with what a leader should be. The respect and influence they have on their staff is what ties in with a good workplace community and their effective communication with their community to make them a great leader.

Stacyy Bryson

I feel that my answers lined up well, although I could have given more examples.

Kathy

I was not surprised by the characteristics that were given and feel my answer was right in line

Kathleen Nicole Co

I wasn't surprised at all and I feel like my answers lined up well enough.

Kimberly Blow

12/1/2018 08:00:40 pm

My answers lined up nicely. Respect and communication were two I thought were most important but I agree that influence and community are equally necessary in making a true leader.

Meaghan Roach

My answers lined up with what was provided here. I wan't surprised but appreciated the reminder that being a leader requires attention to morals and applying these moral behaviors to the team.

Miranda Kirk

12/15/2018 02:32:27 pm

I found that my answers mostly lined up with the information presented. Leadership centers on intention, vision, and community more than power and influence.

Nyjuana Brackeen

12/17/2018 08:10:12 pm

No surprise, they lined up with my answers. I did get a bit more insight and clarity from this though.

Mical Gaynor

12/19/2018 02:24:49 pm

I think it lined up pretty well although there is much more to think about than I mentioned.

Kiersten Moen

12/22/2018 09:13:35 am

They lined up pretty well and completely agree!

Not surprised but the article was a bit more articulate. Being a leader is not something one can really fake if it is not already internalized, but you can learn. Willingness to learn is part of the process.

These were not surprising to me. This was a well-whittled down list of characteristics. They make sense and are concise. I especially appreciated the inclusion of (a) influence is used for positive purposes, (b) is more about values and intention rather than power and presence, (c) give earned respect, (d) understand the dynamics of the workplace community, (e) is about ethics and ethical treatment, and (f) should be an effective communicator.

1. My answers aligned pretty well, though the previous page was certainly more detailed.

2. It was surprising to me that the page with the necessary information to formulate and answer to previous question was situation after the question was asked. It honestly left me feeling a little tricked, or set up for failure, even though I feel my answer happened to align well with the information provided.

I feel that my answer pretty much summed up what I read. It made sense, nothing surprised me.

Maeghan Kimball

My previous answer touched on some of the same points but not all of them. I am not surprised about any of the characteristics as they all are required to be a great leader.

Marina

My answer touched on a small portion of what a leader should possess.
Respect, morals, and good influence should not be a surprise for any position.
