I think of myself as a powerful person. I believe that power comes from knowledge and respect. The knowledge and the ability to use knowledge appropriately demands respect by others. I think of myself as having useful knowledge in both my professional and social life and coupled with an outgoing charismatic personality results in power in both places. I like to share the useful knowledge i have as well as learn as much as possible from others in all situations of life. This is a good way to empower others. Sharing knowledge while being a productive leader gives the ability to empower others in life. Empowering others does not just come from the transference of power, it is the product of all the leadership skills and techniques we have discussed throughout this semester as well. Without the appropriate leadership skills, power is useless. or, can one even exist without the other?
I have had quite a bit of experience being in a power position. Managing others and delegating responsibility shows power as well as the ability to empower others. In my current profession, I have hit somewhat of a ceiling as to my position of power, but practicing and experiencing different situations utilizing my position of power is priceless. I have power goals of managing media outlets across multinational platforms. In order to attain this long term power goal i will need to gain experience in the media field and develop my knowledge, network base, professional relationships, and diversifying my cultural knowledge. I look forward to challenging myself in order to work towards these long term power goals.
