The Trait Approach assumes that some people are natural leaders and examines motives, values, personality, and skills. The Behavior Approach branches into two sections. One method to the Behavior Approach is to look at leader behavior. What does the leader actually do? The other portion of the Behavior approach is to determine what actions are helpful and what actions are less helpful for leaders. The Power-Influence Approach looks at leadership from the perspective of power. This approach asks the questions like, “What type of power does the leader have in regards to the followers?” This approach looks at the amount and type of influence the leader has on the people around him or her. The situational approach looks at the situation leader must deal with. This approach examines the mission of the unit, the type of organization the leader is a part of, and the nature of the work environment. The Integrative Approach involves multiple types of approaches. Participative Approach involves both the behavior and the power-influence approach. Participate leadership involves the group in decision-making and creates a sense of project ownership by the group. Members who feel empowered are more committed to mission accomplishment. For these reasons, the Participative Approach is the desired…

However, the coaching process is a collaborative one that is designed to change a person’s viewpoint and behavior in a manner that improves that person’s effectiveness and personal satisfaction. Essentially, the coaching process enables a person to reflect and self-discover what actions one is required to take (Hicks & McCracken, 2010). Hicks and McCracken (2011) stated that the attitude and behaviors needed to be an effective coaching manager appear synonymous with those attitude and behaviors required for leadership especially transformational leadership. This is because coaching and leadership tend to go hand-in-hand in terms of the type of relationship formed between a coach/leader and coachee/employee (Hicks & McCracken, 2011). For example, one might argue that Ann is using the individual consideration factor. This refers to an organizational leader who provides a supportive organizational climate in which that leader listens deliberately to others’ needs (Northouse,…
As a coach I want to be the leader of a successful program who helps student athletes excel on and off of the field. I will do this by first hiring good assistant coaches around me who can help me bring my vision to reality. It will require dedication from the student athletes in the classroom and in practice and games to be the absolute best they can be in any situation. It will be up to me to instill in my athletes hard work and dedication in everything they do. So I will first need them to respect and maybe even fear me a little bit, but I still need to maintain a close enough relationship with them to where they can consider me a friend and be able to turn to me in any time of need. I will first stress the importance of hard work through drills and conditioning, but at the same time not make it feel like work for them; make them understand there is a reason for all of the things that we do on a daily basis. Once the team understands what it takes to play for me; maybe even some quit because they think it will be too hard, that's what I want; I don't want the weak ones who will give up on themselves and their teammates, only the strong will survive. Then you can evaluate each individual in every facade of the game and start to teach them in the areas that they are weak and strengthen their strengths. I want my team to be able to runs themselves without one coach needed at a practice or a game. Of course coaches will be there but by halfway through a season I want my team to run like a well-oiled machine not needing any coaches to tell them to do any specific thing. I will instill in my team self confidence that they can do anything, beat anyone, and achieve any goal that they set their minds on on any given day. I will teach about winning and losing, how to win and stay humble and how to lose and not have your confidence shaken to the point to where you struggle to perform. I will teach…
Many coaches have their own philosophy to live by. Some coaches are to win, some are to teach the players to be responsible, and some are to allow the players to just have fun. When the word philosophy comes to mind I immediately think of the words and accomplishments a coach should live by. My coaching philosophy is one that is not fully developed. Right now my philosophy is to win but at the same time teach my players to be responsible. Of course everything is easier in words than it is to follow out in actions.…
Building an effective coaching philosophy is the key to being a successful coach at any level. The coaching philosophy is the foundation of what you are trying to accomplish that sets the standard for a team.…
I chose to write my paper about the video called “The Coaching Process.” This was a great video and gave a lot of important and valuable tips and advice. It explains how coaching is a vital tool to develop staff and ensure the success of the company and its employees. They discuss the differences in training, coaching and mentoring. Training simply teaches a skill, while coaching develops the skill. Mentoring guides a person to make their own, best decisions and choices in the use of those developed skills.…
As a coach there are a lot of things that you come across throughout a season. To help you with all of the obstacles that may come up during the season you have to set a coaching philosophy to help you with the obstacles. Some of the items that I will have in my philosophy is my coaching style, teaching my athletes proper sportsmanship, expectations for myself and my athletes. My coaching philosophy will always consist if having my athletes best interest at heart. I do not want to have atheles have prolonged injuries due to my lack of knowledge or lack of caring.…

The questionnaire tests the strong, average, and weak style of leadership (Northouse, 2016, p. 132). My results from the path-goal theory are 24 for directive style, which is average; 28 for supportive style, which is also average; 27 for participative style, which is high; and 27 for achievement-oriented style, which is also high (Northouse, 2016, p. 134). These results show that I am a participating and an achievement-oriented leader more often than directing and supporting to the followers.…
