How does leadership play a role in your internship? Are you able to demonstrate any leadership skills?
My main duty is to update the county's records management program which has not been updated since 1991. When I arrive there was a great deal of ambiguity on behalf of the department on how to proceed with this daunting task. Since I have a background in records management, I took the lead to develop this project. Leadership plays an important part in my internship because I have to guide the department on the proper methods of records management. I make the connections to acquire new information from the State Archives and from the County Records Officer and share that information with the department. I meet individually with department heads to discuss their records inventory and document process. This project requires a great deal of leadership on my part to manage my project and help the department with their records management program.
How do your coworkers or supervisor display leadership capabilities?
I believe leadership comes in different forms depending on the person. My supervisor display's leadership capabilities by understanding I am extremely proactive and independent professional with the knowledge to help guide this department to update their records system. He allows me the autonomy to manage myself and my project and we meet once a week to talk about my progress and gives me suggestions and help along the way.
