Authentic Leadership: Impact of Leaders
AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP PAPER
ABEL BUBONYE
Activity 5.4: Authentic Leadership Interview Paper.

My interview was based on institution leader; First question asked was, which people in your life had the greatest impact on you. The answer from this question was George W. Bush, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr.
George W. Bush impacted him by demonstrated an ability to rally the American people, especially following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. (That) he appeared unwavering in the face of threats to U.S. security and projected an image as a confident and capable leader. And also how George W. Bush took seriously on military operations in Iraq; he explain to the American people why the United State was launching military strikes against Iraq due to alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction which was very dangerous to American people and the world. Another area President Bush impacted him was, when he brought the bill; No Child Left behind Act. The Child Left behind Act of 2001 received overwhelming bipartisan support in congress that year, which was the best way to improve and reform the nation’s educational system, which could bring benefit to our children. Nelson Mandela, impacted him in his life by making Africa every man to be free and equal in the eye as of the nation. It was the vision that propelled him to do what he had to do, and it was this vision that sustained him through the darkest day in prison. This person told me, sometime people think having a vision in life means thinking about having a big house, a big car and lots of possessions; there’s nothing wrong with that, but when the going gets tough, you’ll give it up easily because there’s really no big deal about having those. He continue to explain the purpose here on earth is to be a blessing to the rest of society and living it out gives you the energy you need to persist until your vision comes to pass. No matter how ideal your vision is. The fact is that a vision

    Bush is a Republican, many of his domestic policies followed those of most Republicans, but he did believe that it was important for the wealthy to help the underprivileged. He felt that the elderly needed a way to be able to afford all of their medication and he wanted to make schools more accountable for every children. He was successful on making both of these things happen. He passed the No Child Left Behind Act to make the schools and teachers more accountable for all the children. He also passed the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act to make the elderly's prescription drugs more affordable. President George W. Bush’s domestic agenda was also affected by the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. He focused on national security and worked on the Patriot Act. The President was capable of completely some of his agenda, but much of it had to be put off until his second term. From 2001 (at the beginning of Bush’s first term) and 2009 (at the end of Bush’s second term), Federal employment increased 13.8 percent. In 2001 he issued an important executive order to create the Department of Homeland Security to protect the United States from international threats. During his two terms, President George W. Bush issued 291 Executive…

    Bush, not known for his eloquent speaking, delivered a speech to the American people and the members of congress that would almost single-handedly get him reelected in 2004. The American people, including the congress, were eager for information and a direction to move the country past this terrible attack, which left the country frozen for a short period. Therefore, with the help of his advisors and a group of speechwriters, President Bush was able to accomplish something most believed him incapable of, delivering a message that was articulate and on target to get his agenda started, which consisted of returning America to a confident position. To understand the impact of this speech, one must also understand the deliverer. President Bush was not doing well in the beginning of his presidency and many questioned his worth.…

    The Book True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership by Bill George was a compilation of tidbits, pieces of advice, and interviews with famous leaders. These leaders were gathered from all over the place, massive corporations, politics, NPO’s, leaders in education, medicine, and many more areas. A majority of the leaders mentioned a turning point in their life, a traumatic event that occurred, or a difficult situation, something that showed them their real purpose, their True North. Obviously they didn’t all of a sudden become the successful leaders they are today, but this event or situation they experienced set them on a path of transition into who they are today. Bill George refers to this transition as going from “I to We”, recognizing that leadership is not about the “I” of gaining followers, but instead about the “We” of a larger more important group movement.…

    In the year 2020 I can see myself presenting a motivational speech. Not really, but Martin Luther King gave us a very motivational speech saying that all people should be treated equal and not based on race. The speech we hear most about is the “ I Had a Dream” speech. Martin Luther King said “If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” (http://parade.com/) Martin Luther King Jr. was not well known when he was born when he died almost all of the world knew about him. Martin Luther King Jr. was a very historical character. “We cannot walk alone.” (www.goodreads.com) Marin Luther King was a very important character in our society. He made a mark in our society that will be there forever.…

    If a leader only pays attention to war, he only supplies safety for his people and neglects the other aspects that are crucial for governing. Focusing on the idea of war, can cause tension that may provoke a war. This feeling that results affects countries immensely as it tends to leave countries in a state of devastation. Adolf Hitler is an example of a leader who caused a war. By putting Germany at war and losing the battle against the Allies, Hitler set his country back many years, causing them to rebuild their society and economy. To further show that war is not the most important factor of governing, is during George Bush Senior's term as a president of the United States. Two major events occurred that affected the American people tremendously. First, the Gulf war; Bush was able to resolve this situation in a short period of time and the American people commended him for it. The second event was the American recession of the 1990s. This fall came late in Bush's term as president. When Bush was up for re-election, he lost to Clinton. Although he had won the war, Bush was not…

    There is talk that the nursing shortage is over, but the facts show that there is a substantial nursing shortage which is projected to intensify over the next several years. This fact alone will increase the demand on the remaining nurses leading to nurse burn out and increased turnover rates. Nurses are the largest group of health care professionals in America, but the majority of the nurses are close to retirement age (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2010). This paper will address the issue of nursing shortage, nurse turnover and how nurse leaders and managers are approaching these issues, along with the personal and professional philosophy of nursing of the author of this paper.…

    Nursing leadership as well as managers are constantly struggling with staffing issues; it is rare to hear a nurse manager say, “I have more staff than I know what to do with.” That would be a dream I am sure for any manager. Imagine coming to work and not wondering if you have enough staff to cover the number of patients. Imagine working with a group of confident nurses that are secure in their skills and practice. Now we come back to reality, there are 5 licensed nurses for 40 cardiac telemetry patients. You fear there is going to be a drastic occurrence with a ratio of 8 to 1. You try to keep morale high as well as fears…

    Back in October of 2013, I toke this class and received a C+ now I’m taking it again, in 2013 under different circumstance I wasn’t prepared for this class, but this time around things are a little different. Now I am supposed to do a research depicting how different leadership theories apply to your chosen school setting. Things haven’t changed I’m choosing my school to write about while taking the course studies. Edith Robinson Christian Academy (ERCA) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a unique private school. (ERCA) proudly uses the slogan, “Love lives here.” In the simplest of terms, this is what Edith Robinson Christian Academy offers the at-risk-youth of Fort Lauderdale, Florida—children, teens, and young adults who may not often hear that they are valued, believed in, and loved. Driven by a philosophy that you can never give up on a child, Edith Robinson Christian Academy staff actively seeks out youth who have been thrown out of school, are unable to reach their full potential in a traditional school or are barred from other programs. This passionate organization helps them change their lives—and realize their full potential. I’m currently the owner but in 2013 I was the owner, Principal, teacher, cafeteria (cook), transportation, etc. whatever it took believe me I did it. Well this school year I have a staff; Principal, five teacher, two cafeteria worker, one security, two transportation driver, and myself the Director of Schools.

    It seems after careful analysis of literature the research presented in this paper points to authentic leadership as being the superior leadership style and is associated with the most positive outcomes. However this style of leadership is more so suited when used in correlation with other leadership styles i.e. transactional and charismatic and differs from the other leadership styles by possessing mechanisms of multiplicity. Charismatic and transactional leaders can be seen as authentic but authentic is not defined as being any one particular style of leader per se(Avolio & Gardner, 2005). Authentic leaders manifest themselves in different ways depending on their place in the world and the climate they are dealing with(Ms & Rita, 2011). Authentic leaders are…
