A leadership experience where I influenced others positively, assisted in resolving conflicts or participated in group efforts
For three years now, I have actively volunteered as a coordinator in a community initiative whose purpose is to assist those in need, particularly children, with resources such as clothes, school fees, and food. One of my duties is to make decisions on the kind and extent of assistance that any particular vulnerable child required. I then forward my evaluation to the authorities of the program to approve and take action. My work as a coordinator has elicited satisfaction among every stakeholder and retention. For example, the administrators of the program have tended to hail me for making their work of running the initiative easier. They usually state that my analytical skills have helped them to ensure that the provision of assistance to the needy is well balanced and optimal. Besides, due to my leadership acts as a coordinator, teenagers who would otherwise resort to crime as a way of meeting their daily life need have led a good cause. Furthermore, my work as a coordinator has opened up lines of communication. As such, over time, volunteers in the program have increasingly developed confidence and trust in me. Consequently, they are now more likely to share their criticisms and concerns about the program with me. It is also worth mentioning that my leadership experience while serving as a coordinator has moved the program from a state of widespread backlash for inefficiencies to appreciation with commentators claiming that the initiative has become of age. About nine years ago, donors were claiming that the program is sidelining some very needy people. However, when I became the coordinator, I solved this problem by changing the way of doing things.
