"I started an applications and technology solutions club in college. There wasn't a club like it, so I decided to create the one club I was interested in joining. This took a lot of effort. From defining the purpose of the club, creating a constitution for it, recruiting and assessing interest, electing my club's officers, to our first meeting, and continuing to spread the word. I learned a lot from that experience. I am proud to say the club is still going on today. Aside from that, at my last internship, I led teams on projects on multiple occasions, whether under the direct guidance of our leadership or in a self-driven environment. I don't think micromanaging is effective. Mentorship and engagement, promoting the strengths of each individual member of the team, and only focussing on growth opportunities where team members are ready to step out of their comfort zone are my main leadership tools. Innovation is achieved through collaboration among every member of the team. This requires working side by side with them, frequently touching base, and addressing any concerns promptly as often as possible, with as many specifics as possible."
