Annotated Bibliography
This annotated bibliography contains sources based off of my research on pharmacy and
leadership. I would like to become a pharmacist and my project I have proposed is based aroundleadership. These two subjects are what I researched and did my bibliography on.Albright, Steve. (2013).Leadership Articles. Retrieved from http://www.leadershiparticles.net/
Article/How-to-Become-an-Effective-Leader/9878.
This source was intended for aspiring leaders. This article seems to be purposed to help
any hopeful in the field of leadership. The article fromLeadership Articles helps to give
me insight on the true intricacy of leadership. Everyone in themselves is a leader, but
each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses that allow us to succeed and cause us to
fail. Albright states that there are natural born leaders, but he also states that with much
hard work and practice everyone can become a leader. I believe that this article will help
me when assessing the children involved in my projects growths. While I am instructing
them I believe that it is important that I realize that each is an individual and may learn
differently and be more comfortable in different situations than others. This article will
help me throughout my research because it clearly defines a leader and specifically states
that every person is a different person and has different leadership styles and abilities.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Foster3
The article Without Confidence there is no Leadership expands my research into
leadership. I believe that the audience of this piece is meant to be growing leaders or
those aspiring to strength their leadership abilities. This is effective for my research
project because it confirms the thought that I was basing my project on. I was assuming
that leadership and confidence go hand in hand. This article helps to confirm that theory
and will allow me to give myself a ground to start. Instead of jumping head first into
leadership building activities, I can formulate a beginning curriculum to allow each
student to become comfortable with themselves to begin.
Icles, Bart. (2013).Leadership Articles. Retrieved from http://www.leadershiparticles.net/Article/
How-To-Develop-Leadership-Qualities/13200.
This article by Bart Icles was intended for people intending to grow their leadership
abilities within business settings. Although this is not the setting I am looking to prepare
myself for, the article makes some very important points within leadership in general.
The point that leaders may be born but the leadership does no good if not sculpted allows
me to give my project incentive to be done. Allow the children I will be working with
may possess leadership abilities they have not had the experiences to define their
leadership style or to analyze their strengths and weaknesses. This article has transformed
my view of my own project from an idea to a necessity.

This piece is an extensive layout for developing leadership among a group. I am not
planning on formulating a business group and I have not planned on working on this
project with peers of mine, but this plan for developing leadership will help me
throughout the process of getting my project approved. As stated within the piece you
must first gain the trust of the others you are working with before you are able to become
a leader within their eyes. One way that it is said that you may gain trust is through
frequent communication. You must communicate with those that are also involved in the
project at hand. For example, I will have to contact the parents of my children on a
regular basis to give progress reports and to receive permission to access grade and other
information about their children. If I do not give them notice prior to wanting the
information and if I dont build their trust in me I will have a difficult time accessing and
completing my project. From this article I have taken away the importance in a plan and
the importance of trust and communication.

As well as the article by Expert Performance, this article demonstrates the true value of
communication and becoming a conversational leader. Without communication success is
small in possibility. To become successful within a project, you must ask for help and
openly receive help. No one person can complete everything by themselves. With this
article I have seen the benefits of developing conversational leadership qualities and

before I may begin the process of completely my research on leadership, I must expand
my own leadership abilities.

This article about pharmacy shows the future and current progressions within the field of
pharmacy. Pharmacists have been trying to obtain rights to diagnose and dispense drugs
to patients without the approval of a doctor. Pharmacists want to extend their education to
develop these skills. These facts show me that pharmacy is a growing field. Also I am
reassured in my choice to become a pharmacist because of the fact that the field is
growing and I will be presented with more possibilities throughout my career.
Rouse, Michael. (2004, July).J Am Pharm Assoc. Retrieved from http://japha.org/article.aspx?
articleid=1038468.
The article by theJ Am Pharm Assoc. I believe was written for beginning pharmacists or
prospective pharmacists. I have expanded my perspective by exhibiting a need for
specialized career plans. I have realized through reading this article that a career I pursue
within pharmacy will become what I make. My career, within pharmacy, will be what I
make it. This is a comforting fact because I will have the ability to make decisions for
myself. This article has reinforced my drive to become a pharmacist.

I have been able to take a great deal from this proposed project. Not only has it given me
the ability to look at the goals that I will one day be a part of as a pharmacist, but it has
also given me an example of a well written project proposal. This group of professionals
have put together a project that I will be able to follow to receive information about my
future career and they have put together a good example for my project proposal to
follow.
Skau, Kenneth. (2007, February).Am J Pharm Educ. Retrieved from http://

Kenneth Skaus piece has given me an insight into the background of the field that I
aspire to enter. From this piece I have taken that the field has progressed, but it has taken
many years to reach the point that it is at today. I believe that through reading this piece I
will be given the patience I need within the field. I have come to understand that the
research I do within the field will take time and that I must develop patience to become
successful in the field. This can also be related to the patience that I will need to develop
within my research in the coming years.

This piece has also given me a good example for my project proposal, along with the one
by Laney Savage and her partners. This project was proposed to show the variables
impacting career choices within the field of pharmacy. Along with the insight into the

many career choices within pharmacy, I took away the fact that pharmacists are highly
needed. As a pharmacist I will be able to help others while also involving my work in
chemistry. Going into a field such as pharmacy I believe will be beneficial for me
because of the high need, interaction with others, and the interaction with chemistry.
