Specific- I really want to accomplish and develop better management skills and be able to explain expectations effectively and clearly so people are on task and going above and beyond on their work.

Measurable- I will know by seeing how much better my peers are working and doing better because I am explaining my expectations better.

Agreed Upon- I think it is very relevant to my stakeholders. I think that learning how to communicate better will also allow my stakeholders to work harder, understand better, and gain more effective skills and is able to be given a harder challenge.

Realistic- I think that this skill is very realistic. I think that this skill can always be something you can learn no matter if you are in a time crunch and working well to communicate better will help with effort and commitment.

Time Based- I hope to achieve this leadership skill in a matter of weeks or months, I hope to work on it through the youth council and have it readily completed before the end of my term and the end of year banquet so I can really well communicate with my peers, new joiners, and the new officers.

My first good leadership skill is having a positive outlook on situations and issues and can easily move past them. In the results, it says that a big part of being a good leader is having a positive mindset and attitude and working positively is very effective for good leadership. The test also says I have good emotional intelligence and that I am very good at thinking about others feelings and situations and can communicate very well to get them to where they need to be and I can easily work with others. My next strength is thinking about the future. I can create a very compelling idea for the future and what I want for the future of an organization, and can inspire the next leaders of that group. I am also good at motivating people to voice their ideas and opinions about themselves and take time to help others feel heard. I also have a strength of making sure that I lead by example and do everything I am supposed to do.

One of my weaknesses is that I struggle with self confidence and often worry about failing. The quiz says that self confidence comes to you when you are successful and good at certain skills, which once I am good at something I have good confidence but I do struggle with failing the first few times or not succeeding as much as I want. Another weakness is that I need to work on voicing my expectations better and more clearly and really explaining how things need to be so people do it right instead of doing it halfway because I did not explain it well. I also need to work on support and stimulation and really taking the time to help others and give them more challenging and higher skilled work so they are not bored and are more motivated to do tasks. I need to allow them to develop more skills in which they will feel more supported.

My first step is working on communicating and explaining my expectations better. To do this I would like to get some feedback by our advisors at the youth council meetings, so she can tell me what I needed to say more clearly and get some feedback on how good I did. This will hopefully affect how my peers work at meetings and be a good first step.

The next step is getting my peers motivated to do their absolute best work and really participate and work harder. I want my expectations to be clear but also to keep them motivated I want to work on giving them my best support. To do this I plan on getting my fellow co-chair and I to walk around and hear peoples opinions and hear what their ideas are and really try our best to support their ideas and work.

My next step is now working on not only giving my support to my peers and hopefully allowing those opinions and ideas come true but also working through the issues that might come with those ideas. As I move through the steps I think some people might think that I am not as nice about things as I used to be. So I need to work on communicating super positively and working on positive approaches.

The last step is working on making my peers ideas come true. I want to work on helping these peers gain confidence so they stay motivated and positive till the end of the term and I want my peers to continue to come up with great ideas.

My leadership goal will have effected my life because it will have taught me that being positive and supportive really does have an effect on peers and really effects how they work and how good they can do on something. It would also help me understand that a lot of these people on the youth council have amazing ideas in which they were just scared of the fear of that idea not being validated and will really open me up to the fact that now these students are more confident and feel more respected.
