Hello! In the past , I crammed a lot..... I can be better

[Lou - Manila]

I often expect too much from my members. I should be aware of their capabilities and extents.

[Gab - Manila]

2023-11-19 08:19:15 UTC

In the past, there were times that I actually got mad and pretty much yelled at my groupmates out of anger. Now, I know that I should communicate better, and I could also talk to them personally if we are running into issues when working together.

Cramming and expectations really. Cramming the decisions makings which greatly affected the members also, and my expectations before to my members to be able to do things assigned to them. But now, I always considerate things, strengths and weakness.

In the past, I've recognized a tendency to take on too many tasks myself as a leader, neglecting to effectively delegate responsibilities to team members. Very wronf.

I wasn't always the most positive role model as a leader. I used to nitpick and do the easy way out. Today, I've been taking some accountability through my daily journal and although I moved past my era of lazing around, I can see some improvements in myself in how eager I am to do tasks!

Hiii! In the past, I judged some students in our school who aren't interested in doing well in their studies. Upon studying and understanding social science, I understood that their lack of motivation roots from our education system and patriarchal society. Now, I make sure to always ask and understand people. I also try to offer help and incorporate their wishes into my advocacies.

[Elle - Valenzuela]

Hello! I'm definitely still learning as a leader and i've done a lot of hindi kanais nais things in the past. First off, I do things too independently and do the tasks I assign myself due to many factors like them not performing to my standards or kaya di nila nagagawa in time. I always try to maximize comfortability to maximize productivity pero laging nawawala yung maximize productivity part. So ayun! Now trying to help my members perform independently and help them enhance their contribution instead of just doing the task as a one-person team. Still improving, and naway matuto pa ko

Admittedly, I have done a lot of wrong as a leader in the past. Specifically, I used to have a harder time talking with my fellow classmates and co-leaders, especially when problems arise and when those difficult conversations have to be made. There were times in the past where I reached my point and my emotions got the worst of me, causing to lash out to other people and fellow leaders.

Looking back to what happened, I realized as a leader I need to put aside emotions first and prioritize communication and comprehension.

[Gab - Manila]

2023-11-19 08:23:12 UTC

I may not be deserving to be a leader since there are times that I purposely take more work from my groupmates or members since I don't trust my members to be able to do it yet.

I deserve to be a leader because now I am aware that I can connect with my members personally and create a friendly environment within my team.

[Kate - Paranaque]

2023-11-19 08:23:26 UTC

There was a time where I myself as a leader was more dependent on my groupmates than delegating instructions because I did not know/have the answers myself because the role was suddenly placed to me. It's fine if i don't know the answers, but then I reflected that I shouldn't shy away from my role and navigate the said problems with my group together

[Arren - Rizal]

2023-11-19 08:23:44 UTC

I blamed my members because of an unsuccessful turn of events, but now I'm trying to control myself as much as possible and take the outcomes as a group and not as an individual.

[Aleana - Manila]

2023-11-19 08:23:46 UTC

I think I'm not confident enough to lead a group of people to be a deserving leader. Although I really like being persistent and trying things out which is why I can be a better leader.

Jason - Cebu

In the past, I faced challenges as the Chairperson of the Creative team in our Council. Feeling down and intimidated by senior members hindered my ability to fulfill leadership responsibilities. Looking back, to improve the situation today, I think fostering open communication and establishing a supportive team culture would be essential.

Krix - Dasmariñas

Maybe it was the time that I also waited for my members to take initiative but it just delay our task to finish and I think this time I can do better by asking and reaching out first.

[Allie - Makati]

2023-11-19 08:25:49 UTC

I am not deserving to be a leader if my constituents do not see me credible and befitting to the position. I am also not deserving if my skills would not benefit the interest of the people.

However, I believe I am deserving to be a leader for I am passionate with serving the country and uplifting the lives of Filipinos. I am striving to learn a lot and widen my knowledge to to provide better service to those I vowed to serve. Part of it is initiating and bridging intercultural dialogues.

Dennis - Iligan City

I was too kind and nice to my team that they tend to take advantage of it.

[Elle - Valenzuela]

2023-11-19 08:27:14 UTC

I don't deserve to be a leader because my expectations are quite high and not help them in their flaws. I don't deserve to be a leader because I always try to do things myself kasi di up to standards gawa nila. I don't deserve to be a leader because sometimes I'm just not dedicated. I don't deserve to be a leader because in the past I joined a lot or organizations and in each one I only contributed the little bits because I can't give my full self due to the number of orgs I've joined. I don't deserve to be a leader because of the flaws I have

But I also deserve to be a leader. I deserve it because when the oppurtunity comes, I try to improve my skills. I always try now to be aware of everything to prevent misunderstandings. I have some flaws, but I'm willing to improve myself and not let my pagkukulangs get in the way of my leadership. Naway in the future, I can grow more :)

2023-11-19 08:27:22 UTC

As far as I can remember, the inappropriate thing I've done as a leader in the past was I mismanaged the group for having lack of communication and we had a misunderstanding in the manner. Moreover, I think the best demeanor to do in order to make it better is to always incorporate communication at all times.

Lou - Manila

2023-11-19 08:28:14 UTC

I know I am replacable, there will always be people better than me. But that does not mean I cannot ofter something new to the table. I deserve to be a leader for I know that I can contribute to the many and inspire others, inspiring them to find within themselves something they can offer be it new or for the better.

Jason - Cebu

Not Deserving: I may not initially appear deserving because I tend to adopt a follower role rather than taking the lead.

Deserving: On the flip side, I believe I deserve to be a leader due to my versatility and adaptability, considering myself as a jack-of-all-trades. This quality in me, I believe, enables me to understand various perspectives and contribute effectively to different aspects of a team or project, making me well-suited for a leadership role.

Hello! In the past, whenever I felt pressured as a leader due to the numerous activities that needed to be done and being the leader at the same time, I found myself losing patience when talking to members who were not contributing anything at all. As a leader, taking responsibility is necessary, and I suppose, not fully understanding their viewpoints. What could be done today to make it better is to communicate with my groupmates properly and have a patience while talking to them.

Greetings!

As far as I can remember, the most inappropriate thing I've done in the past as a leader was procrastination. Which is why, I crammed when deadline is fast approaching. From this point, I do think the best way to make it better is to always set schedule to all of the task I've been appointed to. I should manage my time and do my best to create a best output in the end. Thank you.

Not deserving because I've got a bit of a temper sometimes. It's not great for a leader because getting all riled up can mess with making good calls and it can really turn off the team. I know it’s something I've gotta work on so it doesn’t get in the way of us doing cool stuff together.

Deserving because even though I can lose my cool, I'm actually pretty good at stepping into someone else’s shoes. I care about what’s going on with everyone and try to get where they’re coming from. That's super important for a leader because it's all about making sure the team vibes well and everyone feels like they're a part of what we're doing. Plus, I'm all about working on the anger thing, so I'm hoping I can turn that around. I also believe that having a clear vision for what I want our team to achieve and am able to articulate this vision to others, motivating and guiding the team towards our objectives.

Hello! In the past, I frequently accomplished many tasks independently instead of distributing and entrusting them to others. This was because I doubted their ability to perform well and my expectations were always so high, which affected the efficiency of the completion of the tasks. In hindsight, I should have delegated and trusted my team because we have different strengths and weaknesses and we all have different skills to contribute to the team.
