Being a leader is more that motivating others to strive harder and accomplish goals. It’s more about gathering everyone with different skills, religion, ethnicity, etc. and making them one. As a leader, the task is to develop new strategies, tackle problems as soon as they start, recognize signs of stress, leave personal problems as home, put the job first, etc. Not everyone makes a great leader because time isn’t implemented to make changes that are necessary and don’t put the needs of the organization and members in thought. I will discuss who has been a great leader in my life any why. Along will that, I will discuss my traits as a leader.…
My leadership style is best described as a funnel. My aim in leading others is not to conduct every single individual, but to guide everyone to work towards the same central goal. I believe it is best to let others bring their own unique abilities to the table and use them to accomplish the task at hand. One of my most memorable experiences as a leader was leading my school’s student section. When I came into high school, school spirit was a joke. At games, everyone sat and no one said a thing. I decided that needed to change. My fellow students didn’t want change. They told my friends and I to sit down and shut up. I kept standing, I yelled louder, and kept going. Eventually, I started a spark. By the end of my freshman year there were a group…
Leadership style varies upon everyone but I feel as though Kristy had a very approachable style. She treated everyone as an equal and communicated with them in that way, too. Her role requires her to critical think not only with time management, but also keeping the unit organized by deciding in which order new admits should be given which room, if any of the nurses need assistance, and things like that. As the Team Peer Leader, I tried to use the same type of leadership and communication styles as Kristy. I treated everyone as an equal and my peer especially since I only have the same amount of experience as them. I feel as though my communication was successful and receptive with my peers.…
The leadership styles of the United States Presidents can make them effective or it can limit their effectiveness. The effectiveness of the President has direct effect on the American people. Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John Kennedy were two leaders that had major influences in the mid-20th century. Both men played a key role in the United States involvement in Vietnam. The experiences, styles of leading, and characteristics of both President’s Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy intensified the level of involvement the United States had in the Vietnam experience. Even though the leadership styles may have differed, the two leaders refused to let communism spread (Moss, 2010).…
I think the style of leadership I would recommend is the transformational approach for use in human service organizations. I think when people are on the same page and no one is acting better or superior than the clients they tend to open up and show trust in the worker. I think that when a personal rapport is made with a client they will want to be better people and want to be like the worker in regards to being successful and supporting themselves. This builds moral in the office when the clients have come full circle. We as workers are supposed to give a hand up not a hand out. When the client is given…
Effective leadership is contingent on matching a leader’s style to a setting that fits (Northouse, 2007). According to Fiedler’s Contingency Theory, leadership styles are operationalized primarily on two ends of a spectrum, they are characterized as task motivated, or relationship motivated (Northouse, 2007). I believe in the adage that practice makes perfect. In this paper, I will look into an alternative way for leaders to lead when they find themselves situated in an unfavorable situation. In the case of leadership; an administrator, manager, or supervisor should use a reflective mindful praxis to improve their ability to make decisions that will achieve optimal outcomes from the organizations they lead in all situations, especially unfavorable ones.…

Within my role I use a number of different leadership styles in different situations and with different people in order to progress and achieve what needs to be achieved for example; I use the leadership style autocratic when I come to the end of the programme and I tell my learners what I want and what needs to be done and how it needs to be done, this is when the learners are short of time if they are leaving the organisation and don’t have much time to…
There is no one good or bad style of leadership qualities that determine success or failure, it takes time to learn with job and life experience anyone can be an effective leader. Yet even the most experienced leaders run into road blocks and “new challenges require new leadership skills, behaviors, and ways of communicating” (Rhea Blanken, 2013). The follow eight styles listed by Rhea Blanken can be considered when trying to bring something new to the table and are part of my goals to becoming a great…
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…
My personal leadership philosophy is best described in an article authored by Alan Murray where he states, “Leadership is less about your needs, and more about the needs of the people and the organization you are leading. Leadership styles are not something to be tried on like so many suits, to see which fits. Rather, they should be adapted to the particular demands of the situation, the particular requirements of the people involved and the particular challenges facing the organization.” A good leader is committed to continually improving their communication skills in the effort to foster collaboration and facilitate relationships.…
My personal leadership style has always involved allowing people to learn and grow, giving them the life skills and tools to empower them to become independent. I’ve always believed a good leader works with his employees and not over his employees. He is willing to do the work as much…
Employee Three is the most junior employee within the sales department at Corporation A. This employee has only been there about a year, while the majority of the other employees have been there longer by being there for three or more years. Although Employee Three is still the new kid on the block, so to speak, they are esteemed and readily accepted by all. But they are perhaps best described as being positive, well liked, very charismatic, and able to cultivate others. These characteristics fit the description of someone with referent type of power. Robbins and Judge explain that, “referent power is based on identification with a person who has desirable resources or personal traits” (2013, p. 416). So it is with these qualities that an employee is able to attract attention and popularity. We can clearly see these tools in action when Employee Three is selected to lead the team for a project because of their ability to get the team eager, excited, and motivated.…
