Vision Statement - Week 6

           My personal vision statement would be, “Strive to achieve success to the best of my ability while empowering others to make change as well.” I think this would be my personal vision because it is important to be a good leader individually, but to empower your members to be great leaders also. Reflecting on past experiences has really allowed me to improve my vision statement and determine what is necessary to include in it. Having both positive and negative leadership experiences has shown me where I possess strong characteristics and what aspects I may need further improvement.

            As a leader, I have a lot of ambition and want to use it to articulate my vision and how it can better not only myself but those around me as well. I think that my weakness is delegation, therefore, as a part of my vision statement I want to be sure that I am giving tasks to my members and being sure that they are as involved as they want to be. However, a strength that I have is to complete all tasks in a timely manner and do it to the best of my ability. Therefore, the first part of my vision statement, striving to achieve success to the best of my ability, is something that I strongly excel in.

            As far as my background goes, I have had a lot of leadership experiences throughout my time, both as a leader and as a general member, both, which have helped me to be the leader that I am today. Having a personal vision statement and living by it is not always easy, but extremely advantageous and beneficial in working to become a stronger and more effective leader for your chapter.
