Hi my name is

Demontia Harris . I am
18 years old. I was born
and raised in Detroit,
Michigan. I started
going to Fraser High
School in my 9
th
grade
year. I am really
anxious and nervous
about graduating and
moving on with my life.
I have the confidence
in myself to know that I
will be successful in life.
I would have to say my
mom is the one who
prepared me for my
leadership. As I was a
young girl she taught me
to always be a leader
and not a follower. Even
though I don't always
agree with what my
mom says I know that
she will never tell me
wrong. My mom has
always been there for
me when I needed her.
I want to become a
pharmacist and run
my own pharmacy
business. I am eager
to find out how one
little pill can affect
your body. I am
interested in learning
new things about
medicine.
I want to become a
choreographer
because I love
dancing. Ive been
dancing every since
I was a little girl.
Dancing has always
been a passion for
me. I want to be
able to own my
dance studio when I
grow up

Leadership skills can play a large
role in career development. If you
want to be successful in life you
need to have the ability to be a
leader. A leader must be able to
communicate his or her vision in
terms that cause followers to buy
into it. He or she must
communicate clearly and
passionately, as passion is
contagious
Integrity is the integration of outward actions and inner values. A person of integrity
is the same on the outside and on the inside. Such an individual can be trusted because
he or she never veers from inner values, even when it might be expeditious to do so. A
leader must have the trust of followers and therefore must display integrity.

Honest dealings, predictable reactions, well-controlled emotions, and an absence
of tantrums and harsh outbursts are all signs of integrity. A leader who is centered in
integrity will be more approachable by followers.

Dedication means spending whatever time or energy is necessary to accomplish
the task at hand. A leader inspires dedication by example, doing whatever it takes to
complete the next step toward the vision. By setting an excellent example, leaders can
show followers that there are no nine-to-five jobs on the team, only opportunities to
achieve something great.


Magnanimity means giving credit where it is due. A magnanimous leader
ensures that credit for successes is spread as widely as possible throughout the
company. Conversely, a good leader takes personal responsibility for failures. This sort of
reverse magnanimity helps other people feel good about themselves and draws the
team closer together. To spread the fame and take the blame is a hallmark of effective
leadership.

Openness means being able to listen to new ideas, even if they do not conform to
the usual way of thinking. Good leaders are able to suspend judgment while listening to
others ideas, as well as accept new ways of doing things that someone else thought of.
Openness builds mutual respect and trust between leaders and followers, and it also
keeps the team well supplied with new ideas that can further its vision.
Creativity is the ability to think differently, to get outside of the box
that constrains solutions. Creativity gives leaders the ability to see
things that others have not seen and thus lead followers in new
directions. The most important question that a leader can ask is,
What if ? Possibly the worst thing a leader can say is, I know
this is a dumb question ...

Fairness means dealing with others consistently and justly. A
leader must check all the facts and hear everyone out before
passing judgment. He or she must avoid leaping to conclusions
based on incomplete evidence. When people feel they that are
being treated fairly, they reward a leader with loyalty and
dedication.

Assertiveness is not the same as aggressiveness. Rather, it is the
ability to clearly state what one expects so that there will be no
misunderstandings. A leader must be assertive to get the desired
results. Along with assertiveness comes the responsibility to clearly
understand what followers expect from their leader.
sense of humor is vital to relieve tension and boredom, as well as to
defuse hostility. Effective leaders know how to use humor to
energize followers. Humor is a form of power that provides some
control over the work environment.
