I feel that I am able to demonstrate leadership skills
because I am learning new information with my research and rewriting processes
and procedures that other employees in the office will follow. My project is
based on processing liquor licenses which is a function of my office. When I
learn new information, I am also sharing that with other employees and
answering their questions.
Leadership is displayed by every employee in my small
office. Each person is assigned to specific tasks and each person is the “expert”
on that task. For example, one co-worker is in charge of Special Taxing
Districts within Maricopa County. She is the expert on this subject and is able
to make decisions. She is also able to work with other employees who need to
learn about Special Taxing Districts and delegate tasks to them.
How awesome is it that you get to lead your own project! Sometimes I wish I had that big of responsibility, and other times I am glad that I am given small tasks within a large project. Currently I do not have a whole lot of confidence when it comes to being the responsible party, but slowly I am learning that it is just a part of life and that mistakes will happen. How do you able to handle it? I also think it is beneficial that each person in your office is an "expert" in only one area. I think this saves you guys a lot of stress, and probably makes for better productivity when you do not have to research a topic yourself but rather can just send a quick email and get a response back in a day.
ReplyDeleteKristina,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post. I agree leadership plays big role in every employee. It's great that you have a supervisor who allows you to lead your own project. At my internship I have some responsibilities but I don't run my own project. In the real world leadership is very important because as you said each person is responsible for specific tasks and each person is good at certain task therefore they are responsible make decision for others. I am glad that your able to demonstrate leadership skill in your internship.
Thank you for sharing with us.
