About me

Hi, my name is Benedicta ​Agbonor I am a second year ​student at the University of ​ Connecticut majoring in Allied ​Health Science. I plan to go to ​medical school after my four ​years at UCONN.

Leadership ​Philosophy

Democratic Leadership- Democratic leadership is important because it promotes inclusivity and ​participation, allowing members to have a voice in decision-making processes. This style fosters ​collaboration, empowers individuals, and encourages creativity and innovation within the group. It ​also builds trust and commitment among members, leading to higher motivation, satisfaction, ​and overall group performance.

Transformative Leadership - Transformational leadership is crucial because it inspires and motivates ​individuals to go beyond their self-interests and work towards collective goals. By fostering a shared ​vision and empowering team members, transformational leaders can drive innovation, improve ​performance, and create a positive organizational culture. Their focus on developing and mentoring ​others helps build strong teams capable of adapting to change and achieving long-term success.
