    Hi I am back I hope everyones break were fun.
    Today in class we were looking over leadership personalities, our assinment is to tell how we would use and do use our leadership personalities to relate to guests, staff, and the development of camp.
     First I should tell you that there are 4 types in the study we are doing that are regulated by amount of control vs emotions and the amount of asking vs telling. control or emotions is controling onesself and espressing there emotions, and to ask or tell is how you give comands. I am a high on tell vs ask, and mid low on emotion. The person type is called an Expresive leader. They speak there mind and try to relate to others. As with everything they have down sides the second part to knowing your personality is being versatile. Having the ability to understand and work with other leader types. The key is everyone can be a leader, one that speaks up or lets others work it out with guidence. The cool thing is while doing these tests I thought I was a analytical because of there quiet, yet controlled style which is the comple opposite of what my test showed. So afterwords it looks like I have been doing a good job of trying to be a versitale leader.
    With working with guests to me is easy. In most cases I am asking them what they need or they are asking me what I can do. Helping them is easy because my power and athority is in relation to the camp and cross conflict has little impact. So as to upholding the rules and standards of camp I can help guest and lead by teaching and guideing them. With staff it is a little more tricky because my identity of power is almost unnessesary it comes down to who knows what they are doing, who is doing the lead role, and then what is the best way for me to help. As I have worked in many roles at camp and have the desire to step up and make my views known I can prevent someone else from wanting to lead. I know in the bible it tells of to lead you must know how to serve, because that is what a leader truly is doing what is best for the group with direction. So I can lead best at camp by working with others and incourageing them to work with me. The last thing is in development. As I know a basic understanding in maintanince I can take hold of many projects at camp and teach, guide, and incourage others by leading them and helping them to know what it is I know. To lead by example. And where I am lacking in ability ask to be taught and thank them for there knowlege. I also like working and leading the kids that come to camp which is camps best development towards the future and the best way to turn kids into leaders is to do and have them follow by wanting to.
