Hi

Kindly check my essay below for Chevening's scholarship purposes.

Leadership & Influence Question-CHEVENING

Chevening is looking for individuals who will be future leaders or influencers in their home countries. Explain how you meet this requirement, using clear examples of your own leadership and influencing skills to support your answer.

Quoting from the French National Convention in 1973 and adopted by Uncle Ben, in Spiderman movie stated: "With a great power, comes great responsibility"; this kind of good words are becoming my life motto precisely for my personal development. Become a leader is a privilege challenge since only a few people with audacity who are willing to hold this responsibility. I realize that "experience" is the key to become a great leader with a sense of influence,

Being involved in this organization helps me to strengthen my character and enhance my confidence while socializing with people. My best achievement was when I was chosen to be a chairman of the student council in high school. This duty had put me in a high pressure due to the expectations of the teachers. The essential breakthrough in my authority is when I have successfully erased the old tradition of bringing violence treatment to our successor's selection. This tradition was inherited from our predecessors through generation, but I tried to convince my team to act as a pioneer to stop this bad habit immediately because there's no benefit on it. We must focus on producing the best talents to uphold the future of student council.

In my current job, I have joined with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) as a Future Leader Program (FLP) for 3 years. As an FLP, I was expected to learn our core business as a Pharmaceutical industry in a prompt period by enrolling with several rotations. Speaking of my first rotation, I embarked my journey in this company by working with the sales force team. I was assigned to be a medical representative with the responsibilities of delivering information and selling our medicines to the Specialist Doctors. Long story short, I knew that it was not going to be an easy job as a lot of obstacles both physically and mentally will come to me like an attitude underestimated from many people (the image of "salesperson" which portray as a low-level job), but I Keep pushing myself to prove that I can do this job and manage to achieve my target well. That's what I did by successfully engaged with my doctors by telling them my medicine is the best treatment to the patients. This good relationship and communication skills lead to the growth performance of my area at that time.

Something that I learned from all of these is a good leader should have a strong mentality and keep resilience with the difficulties. We need to make a crucial decision to create a breakthrough as a legacy of what we have done. Moreover, A good leader should have a good sense of business/organization as well, so you can influence others.

With all the journey, I have mentioned above, I can ensure that I am well prepared to become a great leader by becoming the representative of Chevening scholar. Leadership and influence are something I'm looking for the next development and I'll seize every moment with my fellow scholars.

Great achievements and experience. Maybe you could make it more formal? Like the "long story short" you could replace it to some word more professional to something like "To summarise the endeavours" But looks easy to understand to me.

Augi, your high school story of leadership is important to tell in greater detail because that proves that you have the ability to not only lead, but change minds in your country. As a youth leader, what you did is highly admirable and should be of great notice to the reviewer. However, it is too far back as a form of leadership and influencing skill so you best follow that up with a college level leadership and influencing presentation to show the development of your leadership and influencing skills.

The main problem of your essay is the professional presentation. It is extremely weak and focuses only on you as a salesperson. Leadership seminars and being part of a leadership training organization does not qualify you as a leader and influencer in your field. If you are only involved in sales and do not have any experience with leading a team, then I suggest you find a community service alternative for this presentation. Otherwise, your essay could go from strong in the high school and college presentation, then extremely weak in the professional part which means the essay could lose impact and consideration potential.
