"Why should we follow you?"
During class today, we had the pleasure of watching the leaders convince the audience why they are good leaders and how they can handle a certain task. Not in the interviewing stage of my life as of yet, I was unaware of how boring certain questions can become after they are answered numerous times. It was shocking how each leader had clear, concise answers that would fulfill the "cookie cutter" concept of leadership, but sounded like a bunch of crap when sitting there watching. I personally would have answered the same way. "I am patient, I am a good listener, you can trust me." But really why should we believe any of that when it comes down to it, any of us could say those things, who knows who can back it up. The point of frustration settled upon me when I could not come up with a better way to answer the question, "Why should we follow you?" What would have kept my attention, what would have made a person stand out? I had no answers to help fill this confusion. This class helped open my eyes to the importance of standing out during a selection session and most importantly, introduce yourself! I just hope these next few classes will teach me a captivating answer to the mundane question of "Why should we follow you?"
