Judge Griffith: Leadership

1. Judge Griffith spoke about the importance of remembering the "least" among us.  Describe how you can apply this concept in your leadership role today in BYUSA.  Also, describe how you intend to apply this focus on the "least" in the future as you serve in leadership roles.

I understood the "least" as that we need to keep in mind those who may be standing in the background. I  think that the BYUSA vision really teaches us to remember the "least" among us because there should be "no intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, or physically poor among us." I can apply this concept to my leadership role by making sure that while I may be progressing as a leader, I am also aware and helping others grow with me. 

2. Judge Griffith talked about how we learn what God wants us to learn from listening to those who speak to us through talks, lessons and home teaching. Please describe how it is possible to learn from those who might night have the same level of education.  Identify and describe a time in your life when you have learned from an individual with a differing educational background. 

I think everyone goes through different experiences that allow them to obtain knowledge that is valuable. I can't think of a specific example of a learning experience like that but I know that my parents are a huge example to me. My mom went to college and my dad had a different college experience where it wasn't just school but also the military. Their education background was different from each other and from many people they encounter now for their schooling was all in Taiwan. But that does not stop them from learning and teaching each other as well as interacting with those they work with. 

3.Please describe something you learned about leadership from Judge Griffith's presentation.

I learned that learning takes place everywhere with everyone. Learning experiences are everywhere and we need to open our minds up to the possibilities. We need to make sure that while we learn, we are also lifting others up with our knowledge obtained.
