[DRAFT]

For example, ―I tend to be the leader in most situations, though I can think of plenty of times
when it was better for the group or team‘s sake for me to follow along.‖

All the trials and errors so far, has made me believe that by demonstrating that we can be both a
leader and a follower, we‘ll show our staff members that we are the true team players and
committed for school‘s purpose.

As the saying goes, ―If you don‘t know where to go, how can you expect to reach there?‖
Likewise, many a times, we get so caught up in the doing that we forget about the destination.

Having to stop, discuss with the staff members and change course where necessary doesn‘t point
to failed leadership; rather, it shows true leadership through the strength and courage to change
direction, no matter how far we‘ve travelled in the other direction.

Be a Leader not a Boss because it‟s easy to be a Boss and say “do it” and

challenging but fulfilling to be a Leader and say “let‟s do it.”
