Applying situational Leadership and My Book




My leadership style in helping with adaptive aquatics will involve two of the four styles discussed in lecture. The first will be coaching. As I try to help these impaired children develop I will need to coach them. That is what coaching is all about, helping others to develop skills. I hope that I can help the children improve, not only in the facet of swimming but with all their motor skills.

The Second leadership style will be supporting them. As you learn there needs to be a supporter so that you can gain your confidence in what you are doing. As these children- many of whom are venturing outside their comfort zone- lean a new skill it is vital that they receive support in every aspect of their development of new talents.


Book

The book I picked is by Gordon B. Hinckley and is titled standing for something. I picked this book because I love President Hinckley and have read other books by him, all of which have left me feeing happy, so why not read another book by him. From reading this book I hope to grow closer to Christ, which in turn will help me be more Christ like. Christ is a good person to become more like if you are trying to learn how to lead. That is why I picked this book.
