Leadership Presentation

Hi everybody, how you guys doing?

My name is Jared tucker,

I'm currently in my second semester here at the

NBA program at Bowling Green State University um where

I also received my undergraduate degree from with a

bachelor's and sports management and a minor in marketing.

But uh currently I'm working as 1/7 grade

boys basketball coach at Van Buren Middle School,

which is about 20 minutes away from Bowling green right outside Findlay Ohio.

And then I also worked part time at Chipotle,

but with all that being said, I just wanna let you guys know, I'm

extremely excited to

talk to you guys about who I am as a leader and how I think being an effective leader is.

But to kick things off, I just wanted to start off with my vision statement

and that is

to influence guide and motivate people to become the

best version of themselves while maintaining good characters,

strong integrity and love for other people.

Now, I think it's very important to

influence guide and motivate other people to

be the best version of themselves because,

you know, as a person, you always want to see the best of one another.

And I think if you do these things, it will help other people, you know,

stay motivated or you know, achieve their goals whatever the case may be.

Um, I know for myself, it's something I've always had in my corner,

which is a blessing just because I've always had people tell me

or guide me motivate me or influence me in the right direction.

I've never been steered wrong and that's honestly the reason I'm here today,

and I have the opportunity to become the first person in my family too,

get their Master's degree. So I'm just very blessed and humbled to be here today

and you know, I think also with that,

just having good character integrity and love for one another,

I think just having good character means you have your head on straight and you know,

you're not trying to do anything fancy,

but you're you're always have the best interests of other people.

And that also comes with having strong integrity,

which is what you do when nobody's looking, Do you work hard or are you slacking off?

But also,

you know, they may not be the case, but you can always want

Love one Another.

You know,

I just think that means you care about people,

you wanna you wanna see the best out of them and uh you know,

you're you're always there for other people.

So that's why I think this vision vision statement best fits me personally.

But next I just wanna talk about fundamental truth and I think

the best way to describe that for myself is that I don't wait for change to happen,

but to be the change.

And I think that just comes with leading instead of following number one,

um

which means that,

you know,

instead of, you know, waiting on somebody else to step up and do something,

You do it yourself.

All right. I think we have the opportunity as leaders to,

you know, have many, many opportunities in his lifetime too.

Um

help lead other people or to influence other people whatever the case may be.

But if you wait and you sit

for somebody else to kind of take action, then you're doing yourself a disservice.

Okay?

And then, um, I just think that comes along with, you know,

just being confident in yourself, being confident that you can do the job,

you could, you could do however good somebody else is doing.

There's there's no limitations to what you can do in this life.

Um, I think you just have to kind of put your mind to it and trust that,

you know, you have the capability and the mindset to do anything that you want,

but you have to be confident yourself.

And then lastly, I just think

change is always going to be constant because things are always changing.

Technologies, changing uh, cars are changing whatever the case may be.

Um, you know, a lot of things are changing. For example. Um,

when Covid 19 1st hit, nobody would ever thought it would have impact, you know,

the states the way it did.

But look how we, how we are now,

you know, we have covid protocols, we have Covid tests,

hospitals are very, very drastically

increased with capacity whatever the case may be.

Um,

it's very, very

frightening. But at the same time, um, we're adapting to it.

We're changing, we're changing society, we're changing the way we live,

we got mask now we have

you know precautions of whatever the case may be

but

you know I just think that change is always gonna be there so we have to be able

to adapt and be able to change with that so why not take action and be the change

and you know I just think that

kinda

with that being said the key values for myself as far as

you know my leadership

and what I believe in is you know those values, our work ethic, responsibility,

communication, integrity,

respect and being personable and I just kind of want to touch

on two of these and the first one being work ethic,

it doesn't matter what you do in this life,

you can always control two things and that's your attitude and your effort.

I think being able to have a great work ethic will

get you a long way in this life

because

no matter what you do nothing is going to be handed to you.

You have to work hard alright.

There's always somebody else that wants your position or you know once the

same car as you or even wants the same girl as you.

Whatever the case may be.

But you know I think we have to really sit ourselves down

and work hard if we want to get to where we want to

get to in this life and I think that's why work ethic is

one of the most valuable values you can have as being a leader

and then the second one being is just being personable and

that just means getting to know people on a personal level,

I think that just shows you care about you know other people

and that you really want to get to know them um just

so you could maybe get a better understanding of what people struggle

to struggle through or you know maybe how they grew up,

you know, you never know who you might run into

as far as

you know, who you come in contact with when you

when you work or as for my case who I come in contact with as a coach, okay,

kids are going to have different backgrounds and you can always

get on a kid this, you know the same kid that you know, however he might have grew up,

he could have grew up in a bad household and one

kid could have grew up in the good household alright,

so you have to learn how to understand and you know approach different situations,

but

with that being said and then just my overall philosophy,

I think my goal as a leader is to inspire and motivate those,

I lied to be the best version of themselves and to better their lives,

their family lives and to change the world as we know it.

I just want to see the best out of people and

I just want them to give me their best effort,

but I want them to change the world.

We're in a situation where

you know, we're young,

we have the opportunities to influence and inspire the next generation of people

so that when we die our legacy still lives on and you know the things and knowledge

that we teach other people will still be available

to those who are being brought up now.

So I think,

you know, we in this age group are in a very, very critical stage um

of influencing and helping people and raising up the next generation of leaders.

So I think it's our job as leaders to

you know, help them grow as people and

grow as leaders.

I just think we're in such a vital spot that you know,

we have to keep our head on straight and we have to you know

take in as much information as we can so we could you know,

help the next generation of people and that's

why I think this philosophy best fits me.

But the next thing up, I just want to talk about dominant leadership style,

I think you know mine personally is being a

transformational leader because I believe in the change of individuals

and I want people who are followers to become leaders

and

you know also I just think that

being a transformational leader enhances motivation,

people's performance and morale

for for followers um and that just means you know,

people who are not leaders currently

and then also

another

a couple of key things I noticed with just being a transformational

leader is being a role model for people who are not leaders,

you know,

being that person to help um you know more more people want to be leaders and

then just being able to challenge people to work hard and own up to their own

work, you know, just challenging people to work harder and to to accomplish,

you know,

goals or whatever the case may be achievements and then also

just being able to understand strengths and weaknesses as other,

you know,

I think as a leader we're in a very

very um interesting position just because you know,

we get the the whole just of an organization, so

you know, being able to

see people's strengths and weaknesses will allow us to help our team better to

put people in the areas we feel that would best fit their strengths,

but also helping them work on their weaknesses as well.

Um and then also I just think that,

you know, just challenging people to work harder is very, very key.

You know, we want to see people, you know,

be be the best versions of themselves, we want to see them, you know, get promotions,

we want to see them, you know, make more money, whatever the case may be,

I know for myself, I'd rather somebody have it than me,

so that's just myself.

And then also just as the video, we,

we were able to watch and get in class about

leadership styles between being a geese eagle or a turkey.

Um,

I believe that I'm in between a geese and the eagle and

the reason being in between both is because as a geese,

you know,

I

enjoyed working in a team environment

and I think I'm a very sociable and personable person.

So you know, a team environment is something I'm

very, very comfortable in. You know, I'm not afraid to

speak up or you know, I'm not afraid to approach anybody.

You know, I, I see everybody is the same. So you know, that's another reason.

I I think a geese is the best way to describe me.

And then also, um you know,

I do sometimes like I want to hear opinions from other people before

I make a decision just because it's not always all about me.

You know, it's about the best interests of the team or

best interest of somebody else. And you know, if

I'm having

hard time, you know,

picking a decision or having a hard time trying to grasp the concept,

I'll ask people for their opinions or you know,

things of that nature when, when needed. But then also I believe that

the eagle is also another

great example of my leadership style just because I do believe I can make strong and

hard decisions

and I'm very detail oriented

and I have room for minimal mistakes

and I would just have like

people ask me questions before they do something

rather than try it themselves and get it wrong

because that's when I get upset.

And for example, you know, that's an area in coaching that you know, I had to

kind of

work on just because you know, they're in seventh grade, you know,

the 12 and 13 year olds and you know, they're, they're usually always confused.

So you know, I give them a little bit of leeway and stuff like that, but you know,

I always tell them if you guys don't know what's going on,

I'd rather you ask me now than to

ask after because if you get it wrong, I'm going to be upset.

So you know, they've gotten a lot better at,

you know, just asking questions and not being afraid to ask me anything.

So I'm very, very blessed and thankful that you know,

I was able to help them in that area and then also um

I just feel like being a mix between the both would best fit me just

because I feel like if you're too strong in one area and weekend another,

um it's not going to benefit you, but I still have a lot of,

a lot of room for improvement, but I just feel like these that would best um

resemble fi my leadership style and then last but not least

um what what I need

to secure myself as an effective leader.

Number one is, just

learn to lead by example.

Um I think as a leader, you need to learn to

lead by example, just because you have people looking up to you,

you have, you know,

maybe in my instance right now younger people looking up to me um

on whatever you know,

a player is or what, what a successful person is and you know,

I just want to give them the best possible me.

So that, that's one, Number one, number two is just, you know,

taking responsibility, whether it's,

you know, taking, uh for example,

right now taking a loss and putting the responsibility on myself and saying, hey,

that that loss is on me,

I didn't do a good job of doing this and I don't want you guys to feel like, you know,

you guys didn't do enough.

Um and then number three is just being a great communicator.

Um I think as a great or as a leader,

you have to be able to communicate with whoever it is,

okay. Um having being a great communicator is something that

it will take you long in any,

any career and I just think you need to have that in your arsenal as a leader.

And then number four is just being confident,

being confident in yourself, um

you know, being confident,

other people are trusting that they'll do the right thing

and that they'll get the work done when needed,

And then number five is just know how to develop a team,

okay, just knowing who your personnel is,

knowing who you have around you are and how to pretty much put a team together and how,

you know, people's strengths, you know, will, you know,

be work adjacent to people's weaknesses and stuff like that,

and then number six and number seven,

just being humble and being able to connect with others,

um I think being humble is really key

and that kind of goes off of, do you know,

just taking responsibility and just being able to

connect with others on a personal level,

um I think, you know, great leaders, you know, do all the all these things

and

you know,

I'm just very blessed and very thankful that I'm

in a leadership opportunity right now and you know,

being a leader is much more than

what people think, I think we're in a very,

very key position to help lead the next generation of people,

so whatever I can do to become a better leader

and whatever I can do to share my experiences with other

others to help people um you know, be the best version of themselves,

whether that's influencing motivating

or you know, guiding other people, I'm gonna do that,

but I'm so thankful you guys were able to listen to

me and I hope you guys have a blessed day,

thank you guys for listening to me and uh you know,

enjoy your guys nights or days whenever you watch this.

Thank you guys.
