It seems that my first blog post should be to introduce myself. Well, my name is Alexandra Christine Hild. I call Lake Sammamish my home. It is there that I am blessed to wake every morning to a beautiful lake to water ski on. Then at night, after watching the sun set from my bed room, the glow of the angel Moroni atop the Seattle temple is visible. I absolutely love being raised in Seattle with my four younger siblings by my loving parents. As a family we spend our summers boating on the lake and our winters snow skiing. We all enjoy skiiing double black diamond runs, including my 7 year old brother, but do so at various rates. So now you have it, a little bit about me and where I'm from...now to the good stuff, me as a leader.
I would define my leadership as task-oriented. This means that I often feel as though I know the best way to get the job done and simply need bodies to help me execute, thus I delegate duties. Although this leadership style may be appropriate in situations, it does have its limitations and areas of improvement. As a leader I could improve on listening to others. A specific way in which I could acheive this is to start a project by incorporating others ideas into a shared vision of the group. I could also improve my leadership by allowing others to lead more. For example, I could delegate various aspects of a project, but then allow them to lead in that area. My role would then be to support and help them as they work to completed their segements of the whole project. These are just a few examples of areas in which I can improve as a leader. So, stay tuned to read about what I have learned in leadership class and how I have improved my own leadership.
Agape Love,
Alexandra
