Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.

貌似是在讲诉申请人的领导力，其实招生官是在寻求申请人在简历上陈述的空洞”主席“”组长“之外具体参与的活动和发挥的作用。其中申请人在组织中如何协调和他人关系，如何培养团队意识，如何有创造力的搭建组织结构和安排人员能力是招生官想看到的。关于领导力的描写绝不局限于一个简历上的空洞标签，而是申请人在不同环境中具体的领导力展示。

那么什么事情才能展现领导力呢？

领导力不用只局限在如何领导其他人去完成一项任务，而在组织中扮演的协调者，跟随者，积极影响他人的能力都是广义的领导力描写。纽约时报在之前的文章——《什么才是美国大学真正看重的领导力》中有详细的讲述，在这里给大家两个更为具体的例子，来说明领导力可以涉及的范围：

• As the president of the orphanage club on campus, you distributed clothing to homeless people and had a long conversation with one particular man about how his life fell apart after he was slapped with an exorbitant medical bill. You were shocked and deeply moved by his story and decided to pursue medicine in order to make it affordable.

• As a camp counselor, you faced two kids who refused to get along. To mediate the conflict, you spent long hours before bed talking to them individually, learning about their personal lives and family situation. By understanding where each camper came from, you were better equipped to help them reach a compromise and became both campers’ role model.

从上述事例中可以看出，沟通协调能力，有条不紊的处事态度以及能从现象中看到本质等等能力都算是广义的领导力范畴哦。所以同学们在构思加州系文书的时候可别把思路局限于“曾经作为领导，带领着他人做成了某事”上哦。
