I think the leadership skills that are needed to address and execute the Big picture is intelligent and respected. You need to be intelligent to know what is going on around your community and the world so you can take action. Some leaders are often intelligent but donʻt do anything or try hard enough to make it right. This leads to why another skill is to be respected by your citizens. It make your job easier if you have people to back you up.
For the Small picture here in Hawaiʻi i think the leadership skills needed to fulfill it is faith and wisdom. You need faith because just like Haunani Kay Trask some people will be against you but you need to have strong faith in what you believe. For Mauna Kea she had to battle the bigger authorities and it was a slim chance of actually winning. But that is when the wisdom and knowledge comes into play. She said herself that you need to be educated in a global perspective to know what is happening around you and to get the most accurate information.

For the community service my group planned to go to Hālona blowhole and do a beach cleanup. We signed up with a non profit organization called 808 cleanups. So in my group we had one border so she had to do her cleanup on her island instead of being with us. The plan didnʻt really go as exactly as planned because one member couldnʻt make it. But I went. Something that went well was that I learned more about why they do these kinds of cleanups. I think it was good that the leader of the organization was a kamehameha alumni. He taught us more about the land then I think any other organization would. He even talked about the native plants that grow by the kove. What could have been better is if all of our group showed up. Yes my understanding of the UN issues of humanity is improving. I learned a lot on January 4. The leaders seemed to be very passioante about what they were trying to show others about taking care of the land. Yes, because my leadership skill of communication improved when we worked with others about the cleanup. |
