Chevening is looking for individuals who will be future leaders or influencers in their home countries. Explain how you meet this requirement, using clear examples of your own leadership and influencing skills to support your answer.

To be awarded for Chevening Scholarship, I have several experiences that meet with leadership and influencing skills. Those activities happened when I was at college or work. I think those experiences will help me to become a great
leader
in the future. Becoming a good
leader
is not easy for everyone, but there are some points of criteria that people be a great
leader
.
First,
a good
leader
may assist all of the staff in his or her
project
when they are facing problems.
Second,
a good
leader
should encourage and influence all people within the
project
.
This
happens when staff lack motivation. Leaders should motivate them and give them opportunities to refresh their minds.
Then
, if the leaders have limitations in solving those issues, they should not worry about asking someone.
Finally
, a great
leader
will not blame his or her staff, if some troubles occur. I had met those criteria on several occasions as a
project
manager.
For example
, I became a
project
manager when I did not have a background for implementing the
project
. As a
project
manager, I had a big responsibility to reach our goal so I tried to learn something new and gathered some information with my
team
. I asked someone who had implemented something in my
team
to know about new knowledge.
Then
, I always set weekly or monthly discussions to update our activities.
Besides
periodic discussions, I talked about some issues and problems that we had faced.
This
situation produced a great opportunity for improvement in the
project
because we could help each other.

the end, discussion sessions might find the root cause of those problems.
On the other hand
, I usually created a forum outside the formal one so we could share or transfer everything we had (not only responsibility at the office but
also
personal life and so on). In
this
forum, I ordered everyone to motivate or influence the people who were involved in the
project
. It could be a story, game, discussion, and many more. I thought
this
forum could make my
team
more solid.
Finally
, we passed the hardest part of
this
project
together and reached our destination. To summarize, there are several aspects that leaders can choose to be a good one. For myself, I will take a kinship way to make my
team
enjoy at work. It can be formal or informal discussions and deep talk with each other. I think communication takes the biggest effort for maintaining and managing the
team
when we are building a great
team
. A good
leader
will create a solid and great
team
.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
