Being a leader is more difficult than what an individual would expect. Influencing others is not as easy as it may seem. It is a process of leading that group, and influencing them to achieve their goal to its necessary needs. Keeping a group on track, and making them stay positive, completing their work and devoting their time to helping one another can be difficult.
When I am the leader of a group, the first theory I would use is consideration. Being considerate of followers’ ideas and feelings is one of my main goals in leading a group. Just for the simple fact, it is not possible for a group to function if I do not care about anyone’s thoughts or emotions. If no one took anyone’s thoughts into consideration, how would anything be solved? I do not think anyone’s true thoughts or ideas would actually come out in a business setting. If I did not take anyone’s thoughts or feelings in to consideration, there would be lots of disagreeing, arguing, and a few different ideas floating in the air. Controversy will come into contact and start disagreements and chaos will begin in the workplace.
Also, if I do not care about my employees’ ideas or feelings a business would not get any better. I know if I did not care, and I was a manager in my business, I would not know what to change or what not to change to have my business be more productive. Therefore, caring about my newsfeed, others’ ideas, feelings, and actions is not only important for me as a manager, it is overall important for my business. Another theory that best describes me as a leader would be concern for production. Measuring a leader’s concerns for getting the job done on a scale one to nine (low to high) scale (Robbins,2015, p.340) is important to me because I like to know who is best at getting the job done. I also like to know what employees are best at a certain job than others, or what
