Watching Kylie serve as Vice President of Student Honor this year I have seen this in action many times. It has especially stood out to me in her revamping of how the duties of Executive Directors are given as well as the format of Honor Week. I have especially seen her use Innovation from the Technical/Profession Expertise leadership competency. I believe Honor Week will be much more effective and less stressful for ONE person because of Kylie's creativity and innovation.
2. Share one personal experience where you have applied skills from the Solves Problems and Analyzes Issues leadership competency.
I have had a lot of experiences in leadership roles and group settings in general where I have had to let go of a previous bias. In high school as a member of student council I wasn't friend or even necessarily got along with everyone I was asked to serve with. In the beginning I wasn't excited about it and for quite awhile it held me back. It impeded on my ability to serve and lead. When I was able to let go of that bias it was incredible the difference it made in my experience. As a group we worked much more efficiently. It also made the opportunity a lot more fun. When the group worked together and without bias we were able to better serve and impact the group we lead. I gained lifelong friends from that experience as a leader because I was able to let go of previous bias.
3. How does innovation apply to your specific responsibilities? How do you show support of innovation in others?
Innovation is a huge part of the my responsibilities in BYUSA. We are always trying to improve our programs and think of new and exciting ideas to draw students in and make them more effective. Many of my programs are also being done for the first time, such as Honor Campaign, so the majority of it is done through innovation. I think that the biggest way I show support of other innovation is through discussion. In committee meeting conversation is incouraged and often when the best ideas are created. By allow everyone to speak up and be a part of the planning they also gain excitement about the program and as all of the ideas bounce of each other innovation is seen at work.
