*Please take some time to read Mr. Elmore's Blog: https://growingleaders.com/blog/
Every leader can be a great leader if they establish and maintain the four pillars of individual success: initiative, responsibility, energy and positive attitude. Tim Elmore wrote on his blog about the experiences he had with his summer interns; unfortunately he was not impressed, in fact, he was not even willing to continue working with them after the first few weeks. How can the young leaders of today change and become the great leaders they are destined to be? Well, success is dependent on each individual's efforts and willingness to continue reaching new heights. Mr. Elmore included on his blog a few points that can help to guide future interns, students and leaders about how to stand out and impress the people they work for, while they gain knowledge in their work environments. Mr. Elmore says that the four most important aspects that employers and mentors look for in their workers and interns are: 1) initiative 2) responsibility 3) energy 4) positive attitude. From my experience of interning at One Family Pediatrics, I have come to terms with the fact that I can only learn and build strong professional relations with those I work with by asking questions, showing my initiative to complete tasks, maintaining a positive attitude and gaining trust by demonstrating my responsibility. Every time I intern at One Family Pediatrics I walk in with a smile, I do my level best to communicate with the people in my workspace and make a good impression on the patients that come in and out of the clinic. I am grateful for the opportunity I was presented with through the Honors Mentorship Program and thus I want to make the most of my time at One Family Pediatrics. I really enjoy interning at the clinic; the staff is wonderful and they always encourage me and present me with lots of knowledgeable opportunities. As Mr. Elmore said, we should treat everyday like an interview, always put our best efforts forward and be great leaders because in the end, every mentor and employer is in search of the individual with: "great attitudes. Great work ethic. Great passion for their jobs. And great hunger to grow as emerging leaders."
