ReplyDelete#1A. The name of the leader that inspired me was FDR.
#1B He exceled at the critical thinking and problem solvining (survival skill 1).
#1C I feel this way because he was the president when our nation was at its worst and he still found a way to give people hope and help them through this difficult time in history.
#1D.FDR demonstrated the habit of Being Proactive and the habit of seek first to understand, then to be understood ( habit one and habit five).
#1E. I believe this because he took charge of his nation in a time of crisis and despare and he took reponsiblity for his actions and didn't blame other people for them. He also listened to peoples problems and and conserned before saying how he felt about the people.
#2A. The name of the leader that inspired me was Dennis Delano.
#2B. He followed the sixth survial skill of accessing and analizing information.
#2C I feel this way because when he worked on his cases he analized the evidence and because of that he found mistakes that others had made and released an innocent man from prison and put the actual man behind bars.
#2D. Mr. Delano followed the habit of begining with an end in mind, which is the 2nd habit. #2E. He followed this because he began all his cases thinking he was going to solve them. He made that his goal and he wouldn't rest until he could come up with an answer.
#3A. THe name of the leader that inspired me was Robert Smith.
#3B. He followed the second survial skill of leading by influence.
#3C. I believe this because the was Jessica talked about him he sounded like he was a real leader and tried to influence his children.
#3D. I feel that he followed the habits of think win-win and synergize (habit 4 and habit 6). #3E. This is because he so unded like a really optomistic man who never gave up and just wanted everyone to be happy. He never gave up on his children and worked with them to help them acomplish what the want to acomplish.
I feel that I did a pretty good job digging deep inside myself to figure out how I could put these incredible leaders in only 5 short answers each. I could have added more detail into the answers, but then with all the details and personal stories they told about their leaders I don't think it could have fit on this blog.

ReplyDelete1a) Mohandas Gandhi
1b) Survival Skill #2-Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by Influence
1c) I think he excels in leading by influence mostly because instead of just telling people what to do, he got involved. For instance, he fasted and practiced other nonviolent acts.
1d) Habit #2-Begin with the end in mind

3d) Habit #2-Begin with the end in mind
3e)She excels in this habit because she took a risk to go to an all white school when the schools were still segregated and to get an education at a very young age(6).
I think that this quiz was a great learning experience for me because it helped me clear my mind to all the important leaders in our history. It also helped me realize that a leader could be someone who you've known forever like a family member or a leader in history or even just a young child.

ReplyDelete#1A. Robert Smith
#1B. Critical thinking&Problem Solving
#1C. I chose this skill because Robert Smith seemed to always be thinking no matter what. He thought about everything that everyone said to him and he definitely paid attention to what he was saying to other people. His quote "Pay attention now, because I'll quiz you later" further proves this.
#1D. Begin and End with the mind habit #2.
#1E. I feel this is a good habit to describe Robert Smith because no matter how he seemed on the outside he was still the same person on the inside. His obstacles made him stronger mentally and physically. Jess said that he never showed his weakness when he was in his wheel chair and stayed strong for his family. His quote "Pay attention now, because I'll quiz you later" proves that he always was thinking. He was a strong man and leader.
#2A. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
#2B. Effective Oral and Written Communication
#2C. I chose this skill because FDR inherited the country in a poor state. In order to help it out he had to be an effective leader. He created , and fireside chats to reassure the world that they'd be okay. By speaking to his nation, he further helped them by orally letting them know he was here to help. He also wrote New Deals which helped people struggling financially. These two great ways of communication helped him turn into the effective leader he was.
#2D. Be Proactive, habit #1
#2E. I feel this is a good habit to describe FDR. I feel this way because of what a great president he was. He knew that when he inherited the country during the Great Depression that it was in desperate need of help. He set up Fireside Chats and New Deals to help. Also the opportunity for jobs and soup kitchens to help people out. He didn't just sit by and wait for something to happen. He did something and made a difference. Because of that, he was the only president elected to serve four terms. He was an effective leader.
#3A. Dennis Delano
#3B. Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
#3C. I chose this skill because in one of the cases he solved, The Lynn Dejac case, the police called off all of the investigations to prove her innocent. That didn't stop Dennis Delano because even though he would get suspended for a little while he still kept going and he was a proactive person and did something rather than just observing from the sidelines.
#3D. Be Proactive Habit #1
#3E. I feel this is a good habit to describe Dennis Delano. I feel this way because he did so much to help the trials of Anthony Capozzi and Lynn Dejac. He knew that they were wrongly accused and did something about it. He gathered evidence and helped them out as much as he could. Instead of waiting for someone else to take action he took action. This is why he was a great leader.

#1B. Survival Skill #1: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving.
#1C. She always thinks about the most realistic answer to whatever problems come her way. If I have a problem, she tells me what she would do, and having her share her way of thinking with me can help me tackle anything I may face in the future.

#1E. She was diagnosed with cancer around the time I started school, and she didn't exactly know what the outcome was going to be, yet she fought through and had a positive attitude. Also, a few years ago, a bank she was assistant vice president of had shut down. This meant she was out of a job, and she didn't know what to do. Since then, she has tried finding other jobs, and what would work for her, and it all worked out in the end (as of right now). She found a job locally, and it’s something she loves doing, which is banking. Her main focus was how it was going to work out for our family in the end.
#2A. Sarah Reukauf
#2B. Survival Skill #7: Curiosity and Imagination.
#2C. Sarah is only three years old, and she was born two months premature. When she was born she weighed less than two pounds, and nobody thought she was going to make it. At the hospital, she had her Christening and everything because of how weak she was, and how small of a chance she had. She is still really little, but all she does is ask questions about everything. She has a very curious personality.
#2D. Habit 4: Think Win-Win
#2E. Even though she is only three years old, she sees the best in everyone, and expects only good out of them. I think that is a good trait to have at a very young age.

#3E. My dad does so much for my family, and I know he only wants to help us out in the end. At work he tries as hard as he can, because he knows it will only get him farther in the field he is working in.

ReplyDelete#1A. Lance Armstrong.
#1B. Of the “7 Survival Skills” he possesses Number 4- “Initiative & Entrepreneurialism.”
#1C. Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with testicular cancer, but instead of letting that destroy him he took initiative and came back to win the Tour De France.
#1D. Of The 7 Habits, he displays Habit 4- “Think Win-Win.”
#1E. Armstrong didn’t just give up he not only wanted to overcome the cancer, but also return to biking, and be better than he was before. His attitude definitely played a factor in this. Without a positive attitude, he would never have been able to deal with the situation like he did and rebound as well as he did.

#3A. Kat Osterman.
#3B. Osterman possesses Survival Skill 2- “Collaboration Across Networks & Leading By Influence.”
#3C. Osterman is a lefty pitcher. She used to pitch at the very least every three days because she said it would throw off her timing if she didn’t. That meant that when she went on vacation, her and her dad would find somewhere to pitch. It was her life. Instead of following in another pitcher’s footsteps, she took it into her own hands and became one of the best in the world.
#3D. She possesses Habit 1- “Be Proactive.”
#3E. Osterman didn’t sit around and practice once a week. As a child she practiced all the time, so she could excel rapidly and become the best she could possibly be.
I think I did well on this activity because I used people that pertain to my life, especially with sports, and their experiences are guiding me some of my own.

ReplyDelete1a. my first inspirational leader would be Shaun White.
1b. I think that the 7th Survival Skill of the 21st Century “Curiosity and imagination” is the one that he portrays.
1c. the reason I picked the 7th on is because Shaun White is not only a great snowboarder, but he also has a congenital heart defect. His certain defect is Tetralogy of Fallot. He was diagnosed with this when he was born. The reason I picked the 7th on is because he has to have imagination if he had a major heart problem and he still tried snowboarding and became the first two time gold medalist in the half pipe.

3a. my third inspirational leader is Jaime Wallace.

ReplyDelete1b. Survival Skill 2: Collaboration across networks and leading by influence
1c. My sister is the biggest influence in my life, as she is always there for me for whatever I need. She isn't a parent to me, but she always tries to make good decisions, with me in mind. Especially through the divorce of my parents, she was there for me when they were not and influenced me a lot to get me on the right path.
1d. Habit 3: Put First Things First
1e. My sister is always extremely busy with college work and all of the things she is involved in. She prioritizes and makes sure that she starts a project as soon as she gets it, so then she is not overloaded with work right before it's due.

3d. Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
3e. Often, I get overwhelmed with school, work, or family things. My mom helps me when I go to see her on some weekends. She will make it be a completely relaxing weekend, where I can just take a bath, read, relax, and sleep as much as I need. It's so nice to have that break and renew myself. She is very laid back, and she does these things often.

#1C. Melissa doesn’t let yesterday’s solutions solve tomorrow’s problem. She never lets anyone or anything ever get in her way. She is a strong and bold young lady who has a goal in life.
#1D. Melissa Kurzdorfer represents a majority of habit number two, which is defining your missions and goals in life.
#1E. I made this choice, because it takes a lot to do what Melissa does. It involves a lot of agility and working out to stay in shape. She is a great leader and lets nothing stand in her way. I wouldn’t be surprised if she made it to the Olympics one day, because her soul is her sports.
#2A. My Aunt Jean is another great inspirational leader in my life.
#2B. My Aunt shows survival skill number four, which is initiative and entrepreneurialism. #2C. Auntie Jean believes in herself to the point where no one can stop her or bring her down.

#3C. Ricky is always up to doing new things and trying at his best. Once, we were camping and my cousins’ chair broke. Ricky used his imaginations and used materials that were around us to fix the chair. Ricky is like no other person; he looks at life differently and always finds things to do that occupy his time. He is never bored.
#3D. When I read habit number three; put things first, I think of Ricky.
#3E. Ricky put school first before anything. He manages the honor role almost every quarter and is very intelligent. I wanted to hang out with him this one time and he said he couldn’t because he had a huge test the next day. This shows responsibility in school and that he has his priorities right.
I think I did really good on this quiz and I put effort in my answers.

#1b. My Aunt Sharon would receive survival skill #5 “Effective oral & written Communication.”
#1C. I gave her this skill because she is always trying to help me with all my problems. When I can’t talk to anyone else she is always there for me. She says things that help me understand things better. She talks to me about why my dad, and why he left. She also tells me all her experiences that may help me think twice of the consequences before I go ahead and do it.
#1D. She deserves the 3rd habit “Put First Things First”
#1E. I gave her this habit because she puts us firsts. If me or my family gets hurt she would be on the first plane from Arizona back to New York. She even said that she would move back here and leave her awesome paying job to be back here if anything were to happen to us. So we are her first priority.
# 2A. Lorrie Stewart
#2B. The survival skill she would get is #3 "Agility and adaptability."
#2C. This is the best one for my mom because she adapted with the new house, my dad leaving, and trying her best to make us all happy. She is now a manager at her job and she is amazing at it. She had little time to adjust to it and her to be by herself taking care of business, and making the schedules and other hard things that she is in charge of. She is also adapting to the fact that we are by ourselves without my dad around so now she has to take care of everything that breaks instead of him. I think she is doing a great job with all that stuff to, she fixed the door and the back lights of her car without my dad around.
#2D.The habit that fits her is Habit #1 "Be Proactive."
#2E. This Habit fits her because she is taking control of her life, she isn't being bossed around by my dad anymore. She is doing things herself. She takes some responsibility for the divorce, she knows that it wasn't all his fault. She is living her life the way she wants to.
#3A. Michael Jackson.
#3B. Survival Skill # 2 "Collaboration Across Networks & Leading by Influence."
#3C. I chose this for him because he influences people with his music. Most of his music is about how people should take care of the earth and be kind to one another. Music can be very convincing. His songs are very moving. I know when I listen to them I want to do something about the world, especially the song "We are the Children."
#3D. His Habit would be #4 "Think Win-Win."
#3E. I think this habit is right for him because he always was trying to get people to protect the earth and he probably expected that people will help try to keep the Earth a safe place and people would be happier if the oceans weren't so polluted, their kids could be safer as well. So it he could have thought in a win-win situation. This is why I picked this for him.

ReplyDelete#1A. Steve Prefontaine

#1C. Steve Prefontaine possessed this survival skill because he wasn't afraid to speak up for what he believed in. He took leadership when he spoke up and rebelled against the AAU, giving athletes the right to now chose what they compete in, and raising how much they get paid for it.
#1D. Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
#1E. I chose habit 2 for Steve Prefontaine because he knew what he wanted from his career and wouldn't settle for less. When he was offered a great deal to go pro, he chose to remain an amateaur athlete so that he could compete in the Olympics again, even if it meant that he would have to continue living off of food stamps. He also "began with the end in mind" because he viewed a race as "a work of art," so instead of running a race at a winning pace, he would run it at a "suicide pace."
#2A. Greg Cole
#2B. Survival Skill #3: Agility & Adaptability
#2C. My dad has this survival skill because he always tries to find a positive solution instead of simply doing whatever is easiest at the time. He is a good leader, and is always able to come up with more that one way to do one single action.
#2D. Habit 4: Think Win-Win
#2E. My dad thinks win-win, because he will come up with a solution to everything, where it turns out good for everyone. When something bad happens, he tells me to view it as a learning experience and he figures out a way to effectively solve it. When I lost my phone, he calmed me down and told me that now I know how important it is to look behind you and make sure that you have everything, and he told me that they would find his old phone for me to use until I was able to get a new one. He has always helped me get through and understand difficult situations, which I am very thankful for.

#3B. Survival Skill #5: Effective Oral & Written Communication
#3C. My cousin, Amanda is a very good communicator because she says what is on her mind, in a polite way, and is very helpful too. When I was young she taught me how to write neatly and has had a positive impact on me throughout my life.
#3D. Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
#3E. She is extremely hard working, which gives her good grades in school. I think that she is able to study and work so hard, because she also takes good care of herself. She takes the time to go out with friends and have fun so that she is able to work hard when she needs to. She has proved to me how it is just as important to have fun, as it is to work hard.
