How will you continue to use your Leadership Portfolio as you continue your growth path as a Christian leader?

# data[].attributes.body
This Leadership Portfolio will help me in my path as a Christian Leader because I will look back at it and remind myself of all the resourceful tips and skills that John Maxwell spoke about in his book and that we discussed as a class. I will surely reread my posts and the Bible verses I have highlighted and posted pictures of and remind myself of the importance of each and every one of them.

Based on what you have learned from Transactional and Transformational Leadership, which traits do you consider a strength in your life and which would you need to strengthen? Explain why.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I have learned from Transactional and Transformational Leadership, I have come to an understanding that in the Transformational Leader aspect, I am strong in inspiring to a greater commitment, responding to the individual needs of each teammate, and I am people oriented overall. I consider myself strong in these traits because I deeply care for my team whenever I am in a group project, and I am always trying to help them out in whatever they need, whether it is personal or regarding the task at hand, because as a leader, I am not only looking into what benefits me, but also in what benefits my team and looking for ways in which they can grow. I always want to inspire them into being passionate about the task at hand and try to dive in whatever we must do in order to give our very best. Even though I consider myself strong in these characteristics, I know that I am weak in others, like empowering my team. I may inspire them, but I lack in empowering them and letting them take over sometimes. I have failed before, and failure is what has let me become aware of my weaknesses.

I do not consider myself a transactional leader; however, I do posses some of its traits, like setting expectations and being task oriented. Although I mentioned previously that I am people oriented, I am also task oriented, because focusing on the task at hand and on teamwork is the perfect balance, in my opinion. This gives space for everyone to grow and to feel victorious whether the results are positive or negative, because even when the outcome is not the best, it teaches us a valuable lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I have learned about Christian Leadership, I have discerned that God wants me to serve Him in the area of Guidance. I feel like the Lord wants me to help others reach Him. I do not know how I am going to do this yet, but I am certain that in my lifetime, God will call many of His children home through me. I will keep praying, asking God for more confirmation; however, for now, I feel like this is what He wants from me.

What learnings do you take with you after compiling all the knowledge you have built in your leadership portfolio?

# data[].attributes.body
After compiling all the knowledge I have built in my leadership portfolio, I have learned that leadership skills and tips are fundamental for those, like me, who plan on becoming great leaders in their careers. John Maxwell's laws have taught me that in order to be a good leader, one must put themselves in their team's shoes, be patient, be willing to sacrifice , be influential, be respectful, be intuitive, be able to prioritize, and finally, be able to trust one's team. All of these skills are ones that I am going to implement in my life as a leader from now on.

19. The Law of Timing:
It states that, "When to lead is as important as what to do and where to go." Because not all moments are created equal, effective leaders know when to seize the moment, when to move forward and when to back off, what to improve and how radical those improvements should be.
20. The Law of Explosive Growth: A strong leader recognizes that developing leaders around him/her will exponentially create a larger group of leaders. The Law of Explosive Growth states that leaders who attract followers grow by addition, whereas leaders who develop leaders grow by multiplication.
21. The law of Legacy:
Leaders who leave a lasting legacy leave an indelible imprint on our hearts because they chose to make an impact on the world.

15. The Law of Victory:
Leaders find a way for the team to win. True leaders have a passion for victory.
16. The Law of Big Mo:
If we’ve got all the passion, tools and people we need to win, we’re in trouble if we can’t get things going. Big Mo is “Momentum” and momentum is a close friend of effective leaders. When we have momentum on our side, the future looks bright, obstacles appear small and troubles seem unimportant.
17. The Law of Priorities:
Focusing on what is most important is so much more effective than being busy.  Becoming laser focused on a clear vision leads to more success, faster, even when what has to be done is difficult or even painful.
18. The Law of Sacrifice:
Leaders trade freedom for responsibility. In any organization of more than one person, the larger the organization gets and higher we go, the more we need to be willing to give up. A leader must give up to go up.

# data[].attributes.body
11. The Law of the Inner Circle:
It states that those closest to us will determine our potential as a leader. They should be people who have our best interest at heart, want to see us succeed, and able to hold us accountable.
12. The Law of Empowerment:
It states that only secure leaders give power to other. In order to empower others, we must first trust ourselves and then trust others to follow through managing processes and performing the tasks.
13. The Law of the Picture:
People do not do what people hear, they do what they see. Leaders lead by example. Because of this, we must embody our ideals to create a picture of what will inspire people to follow our lead.
14. The Law of Buy-In:
Getting support for our ideas, vision and strategy requires others to buy-in to us first before deciding to support our ideas, vision and strategy. The law of the buy-in causes people to take one of these actions: to look for another leader when they do not buy-in to the leader or the leader’s vision; to look for another leader when they do not buy-in to the leader, but do buy-in to the vision; to seek to change the vision when they buy-in to the leader, but not the vision; or to support the leader and the vision when they buy-in to both.

6. The Law of Solid Ground:
Trust is the most important thing. It is the glue that holds an organization together.
7. The Law of Respect:
When people respect you as a person, they admire you.  When they respect you as a friend, they love you. When they respect you as a leader, they follow you.
8. The Law of Intuition:
Every person possesses intuition. We are intuitive in our area of strength.  If your area of strength is communication, then your intuition will work best when you are making use of this area. Other areas might be artistic (Style, design, decorate).
9. The Law of Magnetism:
The better leader you are, the better leaders you will attract.
10. The Law of Connection:
It’s one thing to communicate to people because you believe you have something of value to say.  It’s another to communicate with people because you believe they have value.

1. The Law of the lid: Leadership ability determines a person's level of effectiveness
2. The Law of the Influence: The true measure of leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less.
3. The Law of Process: Leadership develops daily, not in a day.
4. The Law of Navigation: Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course.
5. The Law of Addition: Leaders add value by serving others

A selfless leader puts his team’s needs before his own. This quality is important because a leader should be aware that what they do is teamwork, not a one man’s job. A good leader should not be greedy and ambitious for their own success, instead, work in unison with the team and be ready to serve in order to be triumphant.

# data[].attributes.body
When a leader leads with integrity, they are being honorable, and  they will always do what is right no matter the circumstances. An honorable leader will never give up the Biblical morals and principles they live by when faced by challenging situations. Living with integrity leads a person to the presence of the Lord forever. Therefore, if a leader guides others with integrity and has influence over his team, they will adopt this quality and learn to love God and reach His presence.

# data[].attributes.body
A leader and his team are one group, just as Jesus and the church are one. Jesus carries the sins of His children and so should a leader carry the weight of his team and empathize with them. Good leaders should put themselves in the shoes of their team whenever they are facing hardships in order to help them learn and grow from their unfortunate experiences. This also allows the leader to learn life lessons from their team and become a better leader.

Christian Leadership is the act of influencing/serving others out of Christ's interests in their lives so they accomplish God's purposes for and through them.

Leadership is very significant to the world we live in because of its constructive contributions; however, it would not exist without the leader of the world itself, Jesus. Although there are earthly leaders that I look up to, He is, without a doubt, my biggest role model and inspiration. I know that I am called to make His name known in this world, and as I learn more about leadership skills and techniques, and evolve into an influential, strong-willed leader, I will be able to make a change.

                                     Thoughts and Reflections

# data[].attributes.body
Over the years in my leadership classes, I have learned about several laws of Leadership from a book called "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" by John Maxwell. In the following list, I will mention my thoughts and reflections in regards to some of the laws that have impacted me:

1. The Law of Influence. This law taught me that without influence, one can not be a leader, given that influence is the true measure of leadership. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, influence is "the power or capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways." With this, I understood that a leader must have an impact on their followers or teammates in order to gain positive results.

2. The Law of Navigation. This law states that "Anyone can steer the ship, but it takes a leader to chart the course." This taught me that a true leader holds a strong amount of responsibility over their team and that if the leader fails, so will the rest of the team.

3. The Law of the Picture. This law states that "People do not do what people hear, they do what they see." With this, I learned that actions speak louder than words, and actions have a bigger impact on others than words do; therefore, a good leader must be wise and prudent with their actions if they want their team to follow the right example.
