    Leadership as a concept or notion lends itself easily to myriad definitions. Manning and Curtis (2012) describes leadership as the social influence that results from the capacity to initiate ideas and deeds that others can follow. A leader often stands in front of others and they follow in his footsteps. According to Hopen (2010), “leadership is the capacity to guide or direct others” (p.4). To Fulwiler (2005), leadership is the ability to make people do what they normally would not do or go to places they normally would not go. Leadership can also be defined as the…

    Everyone has probably played the game "Follow the Leader" back in elementary school. It is a game where the leader stands in front of the line. He or she can say or do anything, and her followers (standing in a straight line behind her) must repeat exactly the same thing he or she does or says. Whoever was picked to be the leader must have loved the experience because one had the freedom to do whatever they please, while others followed miserably or happily depending on what the leader is saying or doing. However, if one was the follower, one would wait anxiously to be the next chosen leader. At the same time, one must somehow express his or her self in a fashion that will make them stand out from the rest of the students. Whether he or she is perfectly imitating the leader or behaving really respectfully of others. Nonetheless, who determines who should be the leader? What kind of characteristics must a leader possessed? What makes a great leader (Robbins, 2005)? Is there only one kind leadership? These questions will be answered as you continue to read on. In addition, you will come across case studies, real life experiences, and my own observation on how leaders in my work setting exhibit leadership behavior and how followers respond to it.…

    This project summarizes the concept of transforming leaders, which Transforming leadership mean a process in which "leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation". If we trying to move into a new leadership position, we must correctly diagnose the situation we’ll be facing in that new role, we risk over relying on strategies that worked for us in the past, but those approaches won’t necessarily work in new environments, so Michael Watkins developed the STARS model. To succeed in your new role, Michael Watkins recommends these steps: First (Diagnose the situation) Are you leading a startup, A turnaround, accelerated Growth, realignments, or sustaining success. Second (Select the right organizational strategies) For instance, turnarounds require faster (time pressure), riskier changes than realignments like painful cut and call for technical learning (strategies, markets, technologies). Realignments are slow and focus on cultural and political learning. Third (Adopt the right leadership style) For example, in turnarounds, people are hungry for hope, vision, and direction. You’ll need a heroic style charging against the enemy, sword flashing. Realignments require stewardship: diplomatic building of consensus around the need for change.…
