Leadership

Leadership is a big topic so I picked 3 important ones,

1. A leader is someone who can no matter what put aside someones differences

2. A leader is someone who always has the best intentions

3. A leader is someone who takes control of the situation

When I was a young child my sister was my leader and always showed me the right things to do and wanted to make sure I knew everything she knew and knew the right things instead of the bad things. This leadership was #2 because she had the best intentions in mind for me to learn.

School was a place of learning and teachers were our leaders, I can remember teachers pushing us to be ourselves and be the best we could be. There was an aboriginal teacher who pushed us to learn about our heritage. This leadership to me would be #3 because she took control of the situation and showed us some cool things.

At my old high school there were some disabled students who were often left to fend for themselves in PE classes, no one would teach them how to play and the teacher often didn’t have time to teach them better. I decided to ditch my friends and help out the kids who didn’t know how to play because they wanted to enjoy the game better. I taught them more about the game and they became better and enjoyed PE a lot more, this leadership would be #1 because I put their differences aside and helped them.

We Get Our Living Like Milk From the Land

 How does the article contribute to your understanding of leadership? How will you apply learning to your own leadership practice?

        This article contributed to my understanding of leadership in a way that nature was the real leader. The coyote showed the humans how to survive on earth and the natural laws. Humans don’t have instincts to know how to live in nature’s laws. “They were given memory instead. Understanding the living land and teaching how to be part of that is the only way we, the syilx, have survived.” This quote supports the idea of letting the land be your leader and learning from it as you grown older. There four stages of learning are:

1.st’elsqilxw (torn from the earth sqilxw) life form of first people without natural instincts to survive

2.xatma?sqilxw (in front of us sqilxw) first thinking people who learned the natural law to survive

3.sqilxw (dreaming ones, bound together, of the land) original people who learned to live together on the land in peace

4.?awtma?sqilxw (to struggle and/or come after sqilxw) today’s sqilxw after the arrival of newcomers

            I will apply this to my own leadership practice in a way that you should always keep your surrounding in mind, yes a leader can show you the way in life or whatever you might be looking for but nature can always interfere. It is the only force you cannot change no matter what you do, it always will choose what it wants to do. In conclusion it is the ultimate leader and should always be acknowledged.
