Hi everyone.Below is the question and please help me in writing the essay in a formal way.Thanks for the help......
Leadership requires an ability to collaborate with and motivate others. Describe an experience that required you to influence people.
What did this experience teach you about working with others, and how did it make you a better leader?(max 300 words)
This is the experience when I was working on my startup, 'Vedic'. Once, my friends and I shot an award-winning short film but were unsuccessful in publicizing it and showing it to the world. On further research, I realized that this problem is faced by many students across various colleges. On acknowledging that issue, I created a portal to the colleges and my primary aim was to create a platform for the students where they can show to the world what is within them. The team size initially was five, but in 6 months I increased it to 32.
First, when we were working on the website and app, we had very few obstacles regarding motivation, pressure from the incubation cell and business plans. But slowly problems started to pile up on our heads as we had to launch it with a good marketing plan, expand our team and develop the relationship with many people. Also leading the team was of utmost importance.
A few months later I took the stand and started working on the team.
I learned that motivation, leading change, relationship building, calculating risks of taking decisions and inspiring for your team members are the most important things that affect any enterprise. Motivation involves helping employees feel they are in control of their destiny and environment, performing at their best, and doing something meaningful. I learned that I had to be their coach, teaching them and motivating them throughout the journey. As we launched our website I had to talk to different people for collaborations, had to crack deals and on the run, I started networking more which in turn developed my interpersonal skills. I learned to be decisive by assessing risk and run scenarios. I communicated my appreciation for all of their hard work during a challenging time for the company. I used to give the team certain goals, fix up a timeline and always shared the vision with them.
