Delegation

As most people know I'm an officer in the FFA. Being an officer I'm required to take on a lot of responsibilities and there are times when I must delegate. Last semester I was in charge of organizing the FFA's annual Hootnanny. A Hootnanny is basically a bonfire with lots of food and games. Our committee had decided to have a pig roast, so the first thing to do to decide who would get the pig. Brandon another officer knew where to get a pig already cooked so we wouldn't have to worry about how to cook a full grown pig. Then came planning the activities. It
s hard to pick activites that everyone will agree one, but in the end it was line dancing and Wii. I assigned chelsea, Emily, and Amanda to get the music for the line dancing. i authorized each member to set up everything the day of the event. In the end the Hootnanny would have been a success if not for the down pour we had that day and the audio people forgetting to bring our equipment.
A time didn't use successfull delegation methods was when our FFA had our annual AG Fest. AG Fest is our FFA's first event of the year. It's a way to get members involved and recruit new members. Ag Fest includes organizing of individual and team games. I assigned some members to bring in games, but took on most of the responisibilites myself. AG Fest was still a successes but at the end of it I was a stressed out wreck because i didn't let others take on some of the duties.

Philosophy on Leardership

To be considered as a leader, a person must be able to take control. A good leader must possess many traits and skills. To be a good leader a person needs to obtain the trust and respect of his/her followers. It is vital that a leader have people skills, and appropriate personality. They need to be able to motivate others in a positive way. They need to be able to care about what they do and whose who look up to him/her. Leaders must maintain a certain image and act responsibly even outside of their job or organization. A bad image can ruin a leaders reputation. A leader must also be confident in his abilities and others. A leader should do as he preaches. They should act in an ethical manner. The performance of a leader can be measured by their productivity and followers moral. They should consider everyone's thoughts and beliefs equally.
