How leadership plays a role in my internship...

Leadership is core to my experience with the Phoenix City Council. Everyone I encounter has shown or shows leadership on a daily basis. Also, with that leadership there is a large component of patience involved because interns do not know much of the process or people involved.

Unfortunately, I am not able to demonstrate leadership skills around my peers, however it takes leadership to be able to move from one area of city hall to another efficiently and effectively. This movement is require many times to get answers for constituents. There have been quite a few times where I had to be forceful in my tone and approach to come across to different departments the importance of the projects I have worked on.


The council members display leadership all of the time. It takes that mentality to lead in an environment with many people with bold personalities. Another thing is that there is a particular sense of responsibility that they have which seems to drive them to be the best they can for their districts. I really enjoy learning and seeing their ways of leading and have had a great time so far!
