Act of Leadership

Describe one act of a servant leader that you have witnessed in NOLA

While in New Orleans I watched one leader work diligently day in and day out, Delainey Clum, our local neighborhood busy body. On this trip, she constantly worked away at one thing; the trip experience for everyone else. You could say she did one act of servant leadership, but she did many more than that. The one act that stands out to me was her working on the trip. Every night one could find her on her computer, sending emails out to make sure everything went smoothly and according to plan. She certainly had some punches to roll with, but she made the best of it. On our first day of service work, things were cut short due to miscommunications with the organization. This was quite the damper in our plans, and I could only imagine how she felt, but she kept the trip going and adapted. When news broke that our free day would be rainy all day, Deliany rearranges our schedules so that we could all have a chance at seeing the city and having our free time. I'd say her adaptability and hard work can be described as challenging the process because the process sure challenged her. On my LPI leadership graph, my lowest quality is challenging the process. Seeing someone excell in it so much makes me want to improve it, to work just as hard as she did at it.Læs mere
