"To me, a leader is someone who holds her- or himself accountable for finding potential
in people and processes." Brene Brown, author and researcher.

Being a director bears a lot of responsibility. It requires certain characteristics,

technical skills, and also even your personality should be well maintained for a director
is a role model not only to teachers but also to the students. According to Click (2014),
here are some specific skills a director should possess: demonstrate teambuilding and
collaboration skills, ability to coordinate with diverse people, strong written and verbal
communication skills, community involvement and maintains an optimistic attitude.
Those are only few characteristics a director should possess.
As an educator and maybe a directress in the future, there are a lot of gray areas
in my skills and characteristics that needs to be polished to be an effective educator as
well as directress. Being optimistic is the attitude that I sometimes lack, there are times
that I get hopeless whenever I face a problem that I feel hard to solve. However, this
attitude helps me be more realistic in finding solutions and losing hope is a part of
human nature. But always keep in mind that every problem has a solution, everything
might be difficult for now, but it doesn’t last forever. Being a director doesn’t only come
with great power and responsibility, it would also give you a chance to influence and
guide people to become a better version of themselves.
