Considering how you behaved last year, select 3 of these leadership qualities that you are weak in.  How can you positively develop these leadership qualities going forward this year?  How could improving these aspects of your leadership make you a better class leader and filmmaker?

   Reflecting on my behavior of last year, the three leadership qualities which I am weakest in are courage, assertiveness, and self-confidence. I notice that I am capable of being outgoing and extroverted in positions of leadership; however, I tend to not act confident in my ideas or suggestions especially. In order to positively develop these leadership qualities going forwards, I am going to focus on my outward presentation and the confidence of my wording. It is important to demonstrate these qualities of self-assuredness as the people I am leading will be looking to me for guidance. If I don't appear to be sure in myself, they will have reasons to doubt my leadership and feel less sure of themselves. That is why it is important for me and the other advanced students to be stronger leaders as the beginners will be looking to us.
