    A Defense for Children: Marian Wright Edelman

    Marian Wright Edelman, Child Advocate, eloquently stated, “Children don 't vote but adults who do must stand up and vote for them. While personal responsibility, moral example, and private charity are crucial, so are jobs, decent wages, child care, health care, clean air, water, and public safety that government must ensure, in collaboration with employers. All the soup kitchens and homeless shelters in the world cannot substitute for community and economic development which provide jobs with decent wages, and dignity. But we will not achieve adequate child and family investments in the U.S. without a massive, moral movement to redirect the leadership and budget priorities of our nation.” (Edelman, 1996). Children are a specific demographic in history that has been known to be overlooked or not respected. Children advocates have demanded that respect and have given children a voice in the world.…

    Ldr 531 Week 1 Leadership Approach

    When looking at leadership from a trait approach, several solid characteristics exist. One of those characteristics is personality. Personality is important especially in the work place and can set the tone of the environment. For example, if a manager/leader has a positive attitude and approach to employees during a situation then the outcome will be positive. When employees are happy and working in positive atmosphere achievements and goals are accomplished. An additional strength of the trait approach is that the approach provides a deep understanding of what makes an individual successful as a leader. This will help future theorists because he or she will have a list of traits that predict leadership.…

    Trait-Based Perspectives Of Leadership

    Trait-based perspectives of leadership have been an enduring topic throughout history. The actual inception of leadership and trait-based perspectives is arguable. However, there is no denying its evolution, as seen through research. Zaccaro (2007) stated the analysis of leadership and traits dates back to Galton’s (1869) Hereditary Genius, which articulated two distinct and important points. First, a definition of leadership, which describes exclusive and unique characteristics, possessed by individuals. These individuals were so compelling they were capable of changing the path of events with their judgment and decisions (Zaccaro, 2007). This point while antiquated and dated appeared to be the pioneer of the transformational leadership,…

    The main weakness of the trait approach is to assume that one’s attributes simply determine their strength in leadership. One may have the identifiers of a true leader and fail to have the intelligence or character to implement success. The trait approach requires extensive research measuring the correlation between individual leadership attributes and the criteria of a successful leader.…

    Leadership Comparison Matrix

    It began with an examination of identifying qualities of great persons. Leadership skills at that time were esteemed to be a privilege of birth: leaders were born, not made (Kirkpatrick & Locke, 1996; Cawthon, 1996). One had to be of the right breed to lead; all others had to be led. No matter the amount of yearning or learning, one’s destiny could not change. The beginning of the paradigm shifted to include the impetus of situations on leadership. Recalling the critical role of traits in effective leadership is currently a re-paradigm shift (Bryman, 1992; Lord, DeVader, & Alliger, 1986). The trait approach of leadership is currently having a rebirth with researchers. In 1991, Kirkpatrick and Locke asserted that non-leaders converge on six traits: drive, the desire to lead, honesty and integrity, self-confidence, cognitive ability, and knowledge of the…

    leadership

    Leadership is a very essential ability to lead people in order to come up in doing a successful task. It said that leadership is a complex series of paradoxes that are not simply understood or reduced to a single formula; what we make of it depends upon our perspective, and the trade-offs that we are prepared to make (Grint, 2005). According to Adair, leadership is about giving direction, especially in times of change; inspiring or motivating people to work willingly; building and maintaining teamwork; providing an example and producing a personal output (Adair, 2002). Among the other leadership models, Transformational leadership had kept me interested because upon researching and relating it to my personal experience, I find it the most effective one.…
