the same timing to start the contest. Nobody was receiving any unfair treatments and as a result
everyone received the same reward. During that event I also remember when I was being careful with
my choices and my words when people were being unpolite. I demonstrated perseverance throughout
my event and finished my tasks despite the many obstacles. As always, I am always hoping for the
best for events that I run and presenting myself with how I really feel about certain things. I feel like
honesty is always the best and most genuine way to live because you are expressing the real feelings
about things and this drives to positive change.

examples of application (Source = Gallup) Restorative™ People exceptionally talented in the Restorative theme are adept at dealing with
problems. They are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it.
Includer® People exceptionally talented in the Includer theme accept others. They show awareness of
those who feel left out and make an effort to include them.
Significance® People exceptionally talented in the Significance theme want to make a big impact. They
are independent and prioritize projects based on how much influence they will have on their
organization or people around them.
Analytical® People exceptionally talented in the Analytical theme search for reasons and causes.
First strategic. I have always been strategic with finding different ways to solve a problem. I am also
very quick with finding the issue. When it comes to restorative which means understanding the issue
and resolving it, I am very talented at that. I have experienced many times when I was adapting to new
problems and figuring out a way to solve it. For example, when my parents were not arriving home as
they planned, and I had to take care of my siblings for an extra hour. I figured out a solution to fulfill
their desires and everything was smooth. Nobody was behaving bad according to plan. Includer and
significance is the area where I care most of others. I really do care about everyone who is or is not in
my group because I find success with others. I don’t like seeing others fall behind.

“Servant Leadership” theory of leadership Videos
by Greenleaf Readings Ten characteristics from a servant leader are Listening, Empathy, Healing, Awareness, Persuasion,
Exploring Leadership Third Edition Conceptualization, Foresight, Stewardship, Commitment to the growth of people, and Building
Community.
It is essentially the urge from your heart or the kindness to help others.
You want to help fill the desires that the people have when you come to serve them. Its not about
getting the work done. Its about building community and understanding the needs the diverse
community has.

28. Student will describe personal application HDF 190 Volunteering Servant Leadership was always a form of leadership in what I took initiative in but never knew it was
of the above theory (Greenleaf) Guest speakers named as Servant Leadership. I can see why it named as Servant leadership now. I volunteer near my
neighborhood in a food bank to give out food to homeless people and people in need. I also serve out
prepared food to the people and ask them if they need anything else. This is when the empathetic and
listening skills comes in. I really listen to the people who come in and show empathy to their stories.
Personally, I love going to this small organization because when I serve the best feeling to get is seeing
a smile from the people in need. Every person in need recognize who I am and are always happy to
see me there and communicates with me about their lives. I really have a strong commitment to serve
hard every day to make sure my people keep growing to the path of success. As I keep going, at the
end of the day, I can say that Servant Leadership is beneficial for both sides. I fulfill my desires to help
feed them, communicate with them, and bring a smile to them. And they feel a good sense of
community and they receive all their needs.
