Long before I enrolled in Organizational Psychology, I possessed leadership skills. During my high school career, I was a part of the cheerleading team. Because I was so passionate about it, I attended all the practices, worked as hard as I could and contributed all I had. This then caused them to promote me to captain of the team. This was one of my first experiences in a leadership role. To make a long story short, I loved the position and stepped into many leadership roles after that.

During my college career, I took a course called Organizational Psychology. This course increased my leadership skills tremendously by the course readings, work and practice. There was one assignment that stuck out to me which was the Big Five Test. The Big Five Test is a tool used in various professional fields to determine who are good candidates for certain jobs. To be able to determine if the candidate is a good fit for the job, professionally inform them and determine what department or position they would fit into all takes good leadership skills. I believe I not only display those skills but also good team working skills. I am able to listen, understand to my teammates and take criticism well. Both of these skills are great to have in the work field and is something that I will implement when I enter my career. As I continue to experience and work with people, I will continue to grow my leadership and team working skills.
