文书点评：描述你的领导风格。

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

Vision and Example

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.

点评：

在商学院申请的essay中经常需要写到有关Leadership的内容，这篇小Essay完全是个人在领导管理方面的心得体会，比之一些单纯罗列担任过××职务，组织过××活动的文章来说，无疑更显出作者的能力。

文章的结构十分清楚简洁，开头明确回答问题，写出自己的优势，然后通过工作中的需求来表达学习的欲望和需求。

提示：描述你的领导风格。你需要什么样的技巧来发展成为一个更出色的领导者。

景象与例子的作用

我认为我的两个特点能很好的说明我的领导风格：建立一个清楚的景象的能力和举出一个例子的能力。前者能让我很好的向我的队员说明任务和分配各人的工作。一个清楚的景象可以为设定目标和制定行动计划提供路标。在执行完每一步计划和完成每项目标时，可以通过事先设定的项目里程标来监督并且整个过程也都可以依据之前的景象来观察。每一点进步都是维持一个积极和能干的队伍的关键。

当一个清楚的景象建立起来以后，我会为我的同事们找一个例子来说明。明确来说，我是通过工作中的具体行动来赢得同事们的尊敬。一个榜样的力量将会使动员变的更容易一些。当队员们认识到我愿意为行动付出努力后，他们会自觉的感到有压迫力。另外，他们会变的更易接受我的领导并在工作中更有自信。

为了使我成我一个更有效的领导者，我需要进一步提高我的管理和组织能力。在资金或者人员情况十分紧张的情况下，正确的资源管理是一个项目成功或者失败的关键，而有效的组织能力可以提升资源管理。一个懂理组织哲学的领导者将是一个成功的资源管理者。由于我的主要角色一直是做为资源而不是资源的管理者，因此我没有什么机会来提升这些能力。这些能力将是我以后负责更多管理职责和组织领导所必须的能力。
