Having a base school changed my career somehow, but the stigma over foreign languages and French is still present. The status of the subject you are teaching matters a lot in the U.S., determining if you can be a leader regardless of the particular leadership style or qualities that you might possess. Because of this, my positive leadership skills are sometimes affected in my interaction with others. However, I try to always remain positive, finding solutions to problems and overcoming the difficulties that others have vis-a-vis a non-native speaker of English.
Students and staff sometimes need some time to adjust to my accent and point-of-view and to really accept my cultural differences even after I have spent ten years in the U.S. Even so, I feel I can be a good leader because I always look to constructively resolve problems; I am enthusiastic, eager, organized and open to different points-of-view whenever a problem occurs.
How do I interact with others? I respect the people I work with and I immediately see the strengths and the weakness that one might bring to their work.
What might I improve? I need to work...
because I might offend someone with my personality that might not always be culturally correct. This is why my two primary goals to target for leadership development this semester are to focus on the ESL M.Ed. classes and to start writing a thesis on "Rethinking ESL" and, thus, turn into an activist for ESL students. More and more, the Spanish language is replacing the French language and this had made me decide to look at ESL as a future career to help meet the needs of society. This is quite different from EFL, which is not required for the living/working environment on a daily basis. I also know that ESL is different from English for Specific Purposes (ESP) from what I've done for ten years in Europe, but I am eager to facilitate change and to make a difference for students in our classroom, in our schools and in the larger society.
My secondary goals for this semester are to improve my Spanish and to keep my marriage harmonious during the master's program. When trying to maintain my main goals, I have to continuously improve in other areas that naturally arise.
Leadership Reflection
Leadership Development This analysis will consider deferent leadership development systems at a structured organization such as McDonalds as well as an organization that operates in more of a creative space such as Facebook. The definitions of leadership in such organizations differ significantly and require different approaches. Facebook is looking for more out-of-the-box innovators while McDonald's is seeking leaders that can fulfill needed roles with the structures that they have already designed.
Transformation of a group to one with unified values and a shared sense of accomplishment requires better people skills than I currently possess (Bass & Riggio 2006). These weaknesses, of course, will present certain obstacles that must be overcome during my leadership development. The drive to accommodate can denote a general desire to subsume one's will for someone else's purposes or ends, and this could limit my potential for development
Leadership Development The famous Peter Drucker was very prescient when he said that managers do things right and leaders do the right things. Leadership development is being able to know better and better with time what things should be done and why both in general terms and based on particular circumstances and the choices offered (Weinschenk, 2013). Part of knowing what to do and why is knowing the conditions on the

This is significant, because the author cites studies that indicate how organizations that have a high degree of transformational leadership skills throughout each layer of their companies are much more adept at transforming all forms of knowledge into an ongoing competitive advantage and competitive strength. By making the commitment to an ongoing leadership development program, the author contends that a knowledge-based organization emerges that is capable of interpreting and
