As a lead clerk, I have learned how to communicate with my team so that we can work together to make our store run smoothly. Because I am a team player and I am not afraid to work side by side, my team respects me and responds well when directing them. They often come to me for advice because I remain neutral and follow company policy, and they know that I am a trustworthy person. I pride myself in knowing that I am confident in my abilities to get the job done even when we are under pressure. Through reflection and trial and error, I have learned how to be a better leader so that I can lead by example.
