Becoming a Better Leader


         I am currently enrolled in a Personal Leadership course at the University of Phoenix.  This is my third course on my quest to receiving my Master’s degree in Teacher Leadership.  In this course, I hope to learn how to be a better leader.  To become an effective leader, you first need to be able to lead yourself.  Through evaluating my leadership skills and building on them, I can have a positive impact on my school and my community.  I recently took a self-leadership assessment.  Based on my results and my reflections, I am an effective self-leader.  This will be valuable during my quest to become an effective leader for others.  By becoming a better leader, I will be more successful in my career field.  I will be able to have a positive impact on the teachers, administrators, students, community members, and parents that I come in contact with.

  1. Heather,
    I agree with you that we must be able to lead ourselves before we can lead a team. I am glad that you stated that you will have a positive impact on all around you. I believe that if you keep striving for your goal then you can accomplish anything! Good Luck!
