How does leadership play a role in your internship...

So this blog post is structured to answer questions given to us about leadership. And I am very comfortable answering these questions involving leadership because, I am learning a lot from the department I am in. I believe I stated it before, but everyday I learn something new from the people I work with and I observe and soak up everything I can from this opportunity.

How does leadership play a role in your internship?

Leadership plays an important role in my internship because I am surrounded by a very influential group of people, that all have different necessary roles to add to the department to provide a positive team work atmosphere. Through my direct supervisor I learned a lot more about leadership and I got to see some leadership aspects I have studied in classes be implemented the town government sphere.

Are you able to demonstrate any leadership skills?

I believe I am able to demonstrate a little of my leadership skill but my main purpose is to absorb and observe the government structure of the Town of Gilbert. I think my direct supervisor ables me to have wiggle room in making some decisions for my work projects but I know she is leading me to areas to improve in becoming the leader I strive to be.

How do your co-workers or supervisor display leadership capabilities?

The leadership style of my supervisor toward me are democratic with a little bit of authoritarian, and I believe this combination is what she seen in me and how I described my leadership style to her when asked in a one-on-one meeting. Through our one-and-one sessions we discussed how I wish to lead, my leadership style, and what I hope to gain from the internship to improve my leadership style. And from the information I gave she then started helping me learn more about leadership, by discussing different leadership style I see at different events and by emailing me leadership articles on a regular to read up and educate myself.

I believe I answered the questions for this post to the best of my knowledge and while re-reading what I wrote I am learning more and why some of the stuff was presented to me in the manner it was at the time and in the future.
