Interview: Sophia Dixon
Leadership Within Relationships
Response: I agree with this response. Leadership is so much more than just an authoritative figure. It is a person others look up to and learn from. Good leaders also realize that it is okay to learn from followers.
Response: This answer is true in many ways. It is important to not take it too far when becoming a leader with whoever it is in your life. You cannot let it get the best of you. Stay humble about it, that’s what makes people want to follow you anyways.
Response: I see different types of relationships occurring each and every day. I have different relationships with my teachers than I do with my family or boyfriend. It is like this for everyone.
Response: I understand this point of view. I believe you should indeed treat everyone kindly no matter what relationship you have with them. However, try to rid yourself of negative energy throughout your life.
Response: I agree with this statement. It’s important to have leaders in a group so others can learn from them and eventually take over that position.
Response: With this answer, i’d like to say that i’m more comfortable being a leader. I enjoy helping people and being that person people can come to. Others however, like to be helped and that’s okay. However, I do think teachers and mentors can still learn from their students even if they aren’t the ones in power.
Response: This is true for me as well. I would not be who I am today without every relationship i’ve encountered, good or bad. We grow from every single experience whether we believe so or not.
Response: I believe there needs to be a balance of respect/seriousness and play as well. Relationships don’t work out if they are all one thing or the other. Sometimes balancing these qualities can be difficult, especially if someone has a strong personality.
Response: I think leaders are crucial. Who would we learn from if we didn’t look up to anyone or listen to anyone. Everyone is a leader for someone.
Response:I think everyone has somebody important in their lives that they really admire. I for one, try to be like my mother. She is such a crucial part of me. She is smart, a good thinker, a problem solver, independent, and most importantly, she is selfless and loves people to her full capacity no matter what. She is who I aspire to be like.
