One of the strategic leadership characteristics that I believe to be my biggest strength would be commitment. Commitment I think would be one of the most important. If you think about it, if the leader is not committed to whatever it is they are apart of, then the team they are in charge of doesn’t have much of a motivation to be much better. If you see your captain or boss slacking off then usually you’re going to do the same. Attitude reflects leadership. I myself am on the women’s soccer team here at Franklin Pierce and commitment is very important. We have been asked to be 100 percent committed on and off the field since I came in as a freshman. This means sacrifices like not going out and partying on Friday nights and putting in time at the weight room even after a long practice. The team comes first.
My weakness would be astute use of power. I think usually that I have a good idea but can’t always get my ideas across to my teammates or partners in the right words. This makes it hard for them to want to go along with my idea, usually because they don’t understand it, no fault on their own but because of my inability to get the message across

Hey Jenna,
I envy you and your teammates for your commitment to the soccer team. I'm not sure I have ever had that type of intense commitment to something during my lifetime thus far. I whole-heartedly agree with your statement...
"If the leader is not committed to whatever it is they are apart of, then the team they are in charge of doesn't have much of a motivation to be much better."
I definately agree with you as well, I have been dedicated to tennis since I was ten, and i dont think you can last on a team if you dont have commitment

I definitely agree with your view on commitment and teams. Commitment and motivation are the two core qualitites that a leader must have in order to be successful. I believe that it is essential for not only your team, but also for yourself, to achieve the results that you had hoped for.

I think you could be a great leader. You seem to be very committed and have great ideas, but you shouldn't be afraid to voice them as many will agree with them.

I agree. Without a commited and motivated leader, the group is more likely to lose their own commitment to the team. Lead by example and don't be affraid to share your ideas. More input will always lead to a better decision in the end.

Hey Jenna!
I know you would make a great leader. I would not put it past you either to be a person of great commitment. I also agree that you need to have commitment to be a great leader.
