LEADERSHIP/COOPERATION---WORK ETHIC

LEADERSHIP/COOPERATION

Leadership means that you are willing to take responsibility and make choices for yourself. Its a responsibility that you took upon yourself because you believe that you are the best man or woman for the job. Once the decision is made, you can become a leader. A leader is one who goes first and leads by example, so others are motivated to follow him/her. Leadership is an effective leader who needs to be able to create more leaders on his or her team. Leaders do not compromise  or lose focus. Leadership skills are learn, you are not born with these skills. Every opportunity that comes your way to develop these skills make sure you take on the role. Here is a video on the qualities of a leader.

As a leader, you need to build a high level of cooperation. What is cooperation? Cooperation is the process of working or acting together, willingness to cooperate, to help out or get involved. The team must learn to work together, when working together, you need to not only perform your tasks and execute your plans, but also help your teammates accomplish theirs, too. Cooperation is important because without agreement and coordination we cannot accomplish what we need to do. You should show cooperation when you:

• Work in a small group to accomplish a task.
• Allow each person in a group to have a say 
• Try to use everyone's ideas
• Do your fair share of the work on a project

This is a video that will tell you how important cooperation is:

Barbara: I would like to go to Tallahassee to shop this Saturday.

Ellen: No we are not going there because that is too long of a drive. I prefer to go to Albany.

Barbara:  This should not be a problem for you, because I will be doing the driving not you. By the way there is nothing that great in Albany that I desire to have. We always goes there.

Ellen: OK since I'm not driving. I understand now. No problem, I will go with you.
