The Conclusion

At the very beginning of Dr.Feinberg's class he stated that he wanted to change our lives in someway, whether it be small or large. Well I believe that what I learned in his class will forever be remembered. Leadership is in everything and now I see that. I can't help but to find the leadership connection in TV shows, movies, and newspaper articles. Now that I see leadership everywhere it is a daily reminder to be the best leader that I can truly be. Dr. Feinberg's class has helped me see that yes, I was doing some good things to become a leader, but I needed to branch out a little more and stretch my ideas about what leadership is. I have stepped into more leader type roles on campus like becoming a Consumer and Family Sciences Ambassador, trying to become the Vice President of the Financial Planning Club, and wanting to tryout for Old Masters next year. The best lecture in my mind was the one that Kirk spoke at. Yes it was five hours long,which was a little extensive, but all of the messages that he gave me will stay with me forever. I have decided this summer to read more leadership books in order to find common ground with interviewers and I have also decided to do more little things to show the people around me that I care. The one lecture that was the most beneficial to me was when Feinberg told us his five principles to leadership. I have the card on my desk and look at it from time to time. I, too, believe it is very important to reward one's group very often. I wish that my boss now would tell me I am doing a great job or something so that I knew that I am appreciated. Even though, this class was later in the evening I am glad that I had it. It has helped me shape my view on leadership and has helped me realize what I still need to work on in order to be a great leader.
