Executive summary
Leadership refers to the ability to initiate action among your subjects. Being a leader was my
passion since my childhood years. Most of the times I used to assume various leadership roles
such as being a class prefect where I used to coordinate multiple activities such as ensuring that
the class environment was conducive for study. I achieved this by ensuring that I warned the
naughty noisemakers and if they persisted with the act, I wrote their names which I submitted to
the class teacher for further action. That made the class to be orderly, and I was able to be
successful as a leader. In my seventh grade, I was chosen as the school captain because the
teachers saw the leadership capability in me through various roles that I had played in other
positions of leadership, the big role by then that made me to rule over five hundred students, and
I was successful. I learned various leadership skills such as speech preparation and delivering,
and I was respected in the entire school by both the teachers and the students because of the type
of the leader I was. Since then, I have served in various capacities of leadership and later in
high school I was a leader in various clubs and societies, and now I am a Human Resource
Manager in a tea factory. Indeed leadership is a continuous never-ending process for an
individual who has a passion for leadership.

REFLEXIVE REPORT 4
INTRODUCTION
My journey as a leader
My journey as a leader started in my family. Being the first born, I had the responsibility to look
after my siblings especially when the parents were not around. My parents trusted me, and they
knew that everything would be fine when they were not around. They used to assign tasks such
as feeding my young brother and ensuring that he does not cry.
At church, I was appointed as the Sunday school leader, and I used to carry out my duties
effectively. I used to ensure that all the children were adequately organized before our Sunday
school teacher arrived. I also used to take the roll call for those who were present and submitted
to the Sunday school teacher which enhanced making follow up for the kids who were not
attending the services.
At school, the teacher appointed me as the sanitary prefect in my fifth grade where I
ensured that all the classes were clean and there was no littering the compound by ensuring that
the dustbins were strategically positioned for all the students. I used to assemble all the students
after which I thoroughly examined their school uniforms for cleanliness, I examined their hair to
ensure that it was well trimmed, I observed their socks to ensure that they were sparkling clean, I
observed their nails to ensure that they were short, and this made the students clean and
presentable in school which was a good behavior. Teachers were pleased with my leadership,
and I was awarded as the prefect of the year at the end of the year due to the act of corporate
social responsibility where I led the students in the cleaning of a nearby market.
