[Prompt: Describe your leadership style. What skills do you need to develop to become a more effective leader?]

I believe that two qualities in particular characterize my leadership style: the ability to establish a clear vision and the ability to set an example. Establishing a clear vision up front allows me to convey a sense of purpose and responsibility to every member of my team. A clear vision also provides a roadmap for setting goals and developing action plans. As each action plan is implemented and each goal is accomplished, project milestones are reached and overall progress is observed. The impression of progress -- as well as evidence thereof -- is key to maintaining a motivated and productive team.

Once a clear vision has been established, I seek to set an example for my colleagues. Specifically, I work to gain the respect of my team through action. People are more apt to mobilize after they have observed another person in action. When team members realize that I am willing to put in the effort, they feel compelled to act accordingly. In addition, they become more responsive to my leadership and more confident in their own work.

In order to become a more effective leader, I need to improve my skills in both management and organization. The proper management of resources can make or break a project operating under a tight financial or personnel budget, while efficient organization promotes resource management. A leader who understands organizational philosophy will be a successful resource manager. Since my primary role has traditionally been a resource rather than a manager of resources, I have had few opportunities to practice these skills. These skills will become a necessity as I step into positions of increasing managerial responsibility and organizational leadership.

點(diǎn)評：

文章思路：

新視角—〉新嘗試—〉新發(fā)現(xiàn)！

敘述部分詳細(xì)分析：

這個(gè)過程，是一個(gè)用實(shí)際行動(dòng)檢驗(yàn)自己觀點(diǎn)的過程，有了新的想法，就付之行動(dòng)，然后從結(jié)果中去總結(jié)出新觀點(diǎn)，再指導(dǎo)行動(dòng)！這也是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的一個(gè)特質(zhì)！

視角就是作者的一個(gè)定位，有了準(zhǔn)確的定位，自然才能出來一個(gè)合理的計(jì)劃，再者嚴(yán)格按照計(jì)劃進(jìn)行，自然能收到理想的效果。

領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人需要有感染力，或者個(gè)人魅力，作者在他定位好，做好計(jì)劃并實(shí)施行動(dòng)后，得到了大家的認(rèn)可，并相繼效仿，這就是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)特質(zhì)。

在文章中作者沒有很多的去描述自己具有怎么樣的特質(zhì)，而是通過描述事情的狀況來體現(xiàn)出來，給人身臨其境的感覺，似乎看到了這樣一幅景象：一個(gè)管理者很有條理的完成一件事情，效果很好，然后周圍的人做類似的工作就總是先想一想他們的管理人是怎么做的，然后就很自信地去效仿做起來，效果一樣很好！

接下來是大家非常認(rèn)同這位管理者，同時(shí)給與他尊重與認(rèn)可！

結(jié)尾點(diǎn)評：

最后一段的總結(jié)既能看出作者對領(lǐng)導(dǎo)特質(zhì)的見地，也體現(xiàn)了他現(xiàn)在對自己的一個(gè)定位，自己處于什么位置，以后該怎么做，方向非常清晰，也很謙虛，很實(shí)際，給人聽了確實(shí)有理！所以文章被評為一篇優(yōu)秀ESSAY確實(shí)是實(shí)至名歸?。。?BR>

譯文：

[命題要求：描述你的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)風(fēng)格。如果要使自己成為一個(gè)更有效能的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，你還需要發(fā)展什么樣的潛質(zhì)？]

視角和榜樣

我相信有兩個(gè)特質(zhì)特別能體現(xiàn)我的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)風(fēng)格特點(diǎn)：選擇一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)囊暯?，做出一個(gè)表率。建立一個(gè)清晰的視角，不僅能夠幫助我在給團(tuán)隊(duì)成員傳達(dá)信息的時(shí)候能夠更有目的和責(zé)任性，更可以提供目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)和行動(dòng)的發(fā)展計(jì)劃提供一個(gè)行動(dòng)指南。在每一個(gè)行動(dòng)計(jì)劃都被執(zhí)行和每一個(gè)目標(biāo)都實(shí)現(xiàn)的情況下，那么這個(gè)項(xiàng)目就告一段落了，對整個(gè)過程也應(yīng)該有一個(gè)評價(jià)。整個(gè)項(xiàng)目的印象就像是它的證據(jù)一樣，是擁有一個(gè)激情的有效的團(tuán)隊(duì)的關(guān)鍵。

一旦建立了一個(gè)比較清晰的視角，我就會(huì)試著給我的隊(duì)友們做出一個(gè)榜樣。很特別的，我通過行動(dòng)來贏得團(tuán)隊(duì)的尊敬。在看了別人的表現(xiàn)之后大多數(shù)人都傾向于模仿。當(dāng)我的團(tuán)隊(duì)看到我的努力之后，他們也會(huì)做出同樣的反應(yīng)。另外，他們開始更好的響應(yīng)我的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，而對于他們自己的工作也更自信了。

為了成為更出色的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，我希望在管理和策劃方面加強(qiáng)我的能力。在基金緊張或者人事匱乏的情況下是否能對資源有一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)墓芾砜梢詻Q定一個(gè)項(xiàng)目的成功或者失敗。一個(gè)懂得組織哲學(xué)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者將會(huì)是一個(gè)成功的資源管理者。但是由于一直以來我擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)慕巧琴Y源而不是資源管理者，我很少有機(jī)會(huì)來鍛煉這方面的能力。在今后逐步踏入管理責(zé)任和組織領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的職位過程中，這些技能都是必不可少的。
