The person whom I Interview is Bill Gay. Bill told me a person who had a tremendous impact as him as a leader. I’ve also asked Bill about what was the most important act important to be a leader. Would be Bill encourage creative thinking for his employees. Bill’s first job was at the YMCA where he learned all his leadership. Another work place is at the police department, then the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority). Lastly he did volunteer work at a graffiti removal. His relation to his daughter was so important he became a role model for her. Also, where Bill’s ideas come from and how he acquires this feats. Furthermore, how Bill influence the employee to become leaders. Finally, Bill told me stores about his previous jobs and he situation he was in.
First question I asked was; can you name a person who has tremendous impact on you as a leader? The first person tremendous impact on Bill was a man name Ron Perry. He worked at the YMCA in LA. Ron Perry was a director at the YMCA while Bill worked at the YMCA part time. While Bill was being mentored by Ron. Bill was watching Ron how respected by the kids at the YMCA. Ron model was to express himself and tell kids to be themselves. Bill worked with young people or minority to improve skills. Ron sees Bill as potential to become a great leader. Bill’s motivation from Ron is what made him a great leader today. I would consider this Primal Leadership since Bill is learning from Ron Perry to become a better leader. Usually when Ron Perry was working at the YMCA with the kids he was always in a good mood which mad the kids want to play with Ron more. Bill saw that in Ron was in a good mood and everyone else will be in a good mood.
Bill said the objective would be the most important to accomplish. Another is to develop techniques and the mission goals. To make a great leader to be able to have guidance, advise, critics, move forward, and to

    When one thinks of a leader, what type of person do we think of? Is that individual a hero that we see on television, a cartoon character, a family member, or is that person a public servant? Regardless of occupation and title, a leader is a person who inspires others and they know how to motivate people. “When they arrive, you see something about them that stands out. The inner strength of their leadership ability emerges”. (Gonzalez, 2007, February 1). Leaders are individuals in your area of work who are focused on the tasks at hand and they have a clear and concise vision on what their respective organizations are set out to do.…

    The authors try to define who is a leader. They say “Leadership is a process of influence. Anytime you seek to influence the thinking, behaviour, or development of people in their personal or professional lives, you are taking on the role of a leader.” (pg. 5) You might be a parent, a teacher, a nurse, a pastor, a coach, or an adult child helping her aging parents. There are differences between being a “life leader” (such as a parent) and an “organizational leader” (a manager in a company). The author defines leadership as influence in a positive or negative direction.…

    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.…

    A leader is a person who has a vision (Owen, 2002). A leader has drive and is committed to achieving their goals and vision. Leaders focus their attention on problems that need to be fixed, and will tackle the situation at hand. Leaders are determined, motivated, careful planners and effective communicators. Leaders are positive and do not waste time and effort with negativity. Effective communication is more than just being able to speak and write. An effective leader's communication encourages people to work toward their goals. A leader is motivated and motivates everyone to contribute to the organization (Owen, 2002). All of these attributes are what I considered when choosing a Leader to interview. I have chosen to interview G.O. who currently works as a Director of Nursing, and has an extensive background in management. G.O. is someone I consider a strong Leader and mentor and is very positive and genuinely enjoys her job.…

    I recently had the honor of interviewing someone in our community who has had more than thirty years of leadership experience in our community. The interview ended up taking much longer than I expected because I was so influenced by what he had to say, I did not want to miss anything. Mr. Kevin Henderson started his career as a cook back in the 60's for the Jolly Ox (Steak & Ale) restaurant. His leadership abilities were quickly realized, and he was promoted to Store manager. From there he moved on to the Shoney's Restaurant Corporation where he remained for twenty five years serving as a regional supervisor, and finally working his way up to the President of the Steak House Division of Shoney's. This consisted…

    This exercise asks students to think of their experience with a past leader in their life and if this leader inspired followers to become leaders through the method of transformational leadership. After completing this exercise, and envisioning several recent supervisors, I realized that it has been quite some time since I have had what I would refer to as an inspirational leader in my working environment. The most inspirational leaders that I have been exposed to recently have been the professors and advisors at Palm Beach State College. Generally, the managers or supervisors I have worked with over the past twenty years, have worked more…

    This test bank consists of 300 multiple-choice items grouped by chapter and topic. Most of the items were selected from the test bank used with the prior edition of the book, but some are new and some are revisions of earlier items. The test items measure specific knowledge about the concepts, theories, research findings, and action guidelines in this edition of the book. Most items deal with major concepts and issues rather than with trivial or obscure points. However, the items are not intended to measure the ability to evaluate, synthesize, or integrate the material. To assess this type of knowledge, it is necessary to supplement the objective exams with other measures such as essay exams and papers. The review questions at the end of each chapter provide one source of essay questions, and they also provide guidance to students in studying for multiple choice exams. Students who take the time to develop answers for the review questions should be able to answer most items correctly. Written analyses of cases provide another opportunity to evaluate how well students understand the concepts and theories.…
