Response Questions : February 7


1. Bro. Jones described his career path and an experience where he received a recommendation from the President of Dixie State College.  This recommendation came because of Bro. Jones reputation as someone who would follow through on any assignments he received.  Please describe what practices you will engage to make sure that you are considered someone who is reliable in completing projects.

Manage time wisely in order to accomplish a given task at or before they are expected.
Create a good relationship with those I am accountable to
Ask those over me if there are other things I can do

2. Bro. Jones mentioned the opportunities that he has had to be an example for those who are not members of the church and has been an influence for changing opinions about Mormons.  Please describe how you will consider the opportunity to make friends for the Church as you start and grow your career.

As a Latter-Day Saint, it is important for me to be an example of a disciple of Christ in all that I strive to do. I think its a great opportunity to work with those who are not Mormon, because firstly, it is an opportunity to share the gospel, and secondly, it is an opportunity to practice what you preach and be sure that you are maintaining high standards of the church for those around you. 

3. Bro. Jones described his work on the Festival of the American West. One aspect that made that event succesful was the inclusion of many different people and allowing them to shine with their talents.  Please explain how this concept of involving others and allowing them to utilize and showcase their talents relate  to our practice of leadership in BYUSA and in the future. 

There are so many different areas of BYUSA with wide ranges of responsibilities and necessary volunteer traits. Even within Communications, one volunteer would not be able to carry out the responsibilities of all the areas. There needs to be variations of skills. Not only skills, but even personalities, work behaviors, and styles of managing. If everyone were the same, or "agreed", then nothing would be accomplished; nothing would progress.
