Leadership goes beyond management, for some, leadership is instinctual and pours over into your personal life. This paper will discuss a leader I admire in my personal life, and analyze their leadership style. I will discuss how that leader has influenced my leadership style, as well as how things like environment and the economy affect my leadership approach.

My leadership style is a combination of two of the leadership styles mentioned in this module. The transformational leadership style mostly exemplifies my style and personality. However, I have implemented situational leadership based on the skill level of the teachers assigned to my school and happenings within the community.

There are many leadership styles and leadership philosophies that can be applied to the healthcare environment of which each have their unique advantages and disadvantages. The choice to follow one leadership model versus another or to integrate one or more models together lies in the individual preference of the leader. For people like me who hold strong spiritual beliefs, the spiritual philosophies of Mary Elizabeth O’Brien, Tim Porter-O’Grady, and Kathy Malloch provide a strong framework with which to guide one’s leadership practice. This paper will explore the similarities and differences between these author’s tenants and discuss the integration of their principles into a single leadership approach that positively influences the

Leadership according to Andy is far beyond simply being a person who is responsible for an organisation. Employees working in the Organisation should be able to follow in the right direction. The style of leadership he uses is reliant on the current situation. He describes himself as a team leader and uses a participative type of leadership (McCrea, 2002, p.11). He relates with all of the employees while in the meantime placing emphasis on the tasks. He leads through examples.

A leader is assumed to be an individual who is always involved in the right activities at the right time to ensure everybody in their circle are benefiting. Leaders must maintain confidential appearances to accomplish obligatory aims. A leader must be professionally responsible and self-restraint as everyone will follow you. When someone follows the leadership line, he/she will possess weaknesses and strengths. The writer will talk regarding the weaknesses and strengths that she own as a leader in individual and professional accountability, career planning, personal journey, personal journey discipline, and reflective practice reference behaviors.

Which leadership style is best for certain situations? There are many different types of leadership styles that are best for certain situations or special circumstances. There are leaders that are visionaries, some who command and coach, others that set high standards for those whom they are in charge of, and still more who focus on democratic ways of doing things along with team work. The question leaders and ordinary people must ask is this: if a situation comes down to it, when you must rely on a leader; what is the best style, and how will their decisions affect those they are in charge of?

What is leadership? Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines leadership as “the power or ability to lead other people”. Although this is simply put, it is also correct. But leadership is much more than the ability to lead. The ability is one piece of the puzzle. Other pieces to consider in leadership are education, attributes, and style, just to name a few. In this assignment, I will focus on leadership style. Specifically, I will discuss my style according to the assessment developed by The University of Kent in the UK.

According to Harold Koontz, “leadership is defined as an art or process of influencing people so that they strive willingly and enthusiastically towards attainment of group goals”.

Madison Perez is a front desk manager at the Breck Inn in Breckenridge, Colorado. She currently writes the front desk schedule and makes sure that everything is in order while she is gone. She has set up numerous check lists that each employee is responsible for following and making sure that everything gets done in a day. Each task list spread out throughout the day so not only one employee is doing everything but so that every employee is working together like one unit. She is very knowledgeable about every position that is currently at her hotel, so in case of emergencies she can help out and be effective. I know this leader from a previous work opportunity where she was also a front desk manager.

As the name suggests, situational theory recommends that leaders change their style according to situation and temperament of the follower. There is something different about this theory. It doesn't only focus on the leader characteristics but also takes into account the characteristics of the one being led and that is why it is a better approach for Stephen than Bureaucratic approach used by the local authority.

A great leader is defined as one who has the ability to use all different styles of leadership styles intermittently depending on the circumstances. There is no one style of leading that can be used as a cure all for every circumstance. There are many different ways of being a leader, as well as many different varieties of leaders. There isn’t necessarily a right and a wrong style of leading. However, there are circumstances that may benefit more from a specific style of leadership. When it comes to law enforcement in general, leadership could have both negative and positive impacts on employees that you work with daily. Officers that have been bestowed with the responsibility to train others have clearly demonstrated an above average ability to do the job, each one in their own way and with their style. There are many different styles of leadership, some of which I have decided to discuss. These styles include bureaucratic, participative, autocratic, diplomatic, and free rain style of leadership.

Leadership is a concept most people feel informed enough to discuss, but that few are truly educated sufficiently to comment on. Therefore, it is instructive to consider the leadership styles of people with very different approaches both to better understand the diversity underlying leadership, as well as to appreciate the effective and less effective strategies that underlie different leadership outcomes. For that reason, this essay will consider the styles of two leaders who are less visible in this highly contentious presidential election season: Jill Stein (the Green Party nominee) and Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. The leadership styles of both are very different, yet they are aligned in the sense that both are outsider candidates struggling to gain momentum from a disaffected electorate. This essay begins with a theoretical discussion of leadership more generally and then turns to the two leaders as case studies, comparing and contrasting them and drawing conclusions about how they both work within the same public sphere and for putatively similar ends (i.e., gaining votes).

Leadership has always been one of my strengths, yet I came to realize that the understanding of culture plays a vital role in managing and leading a team effectively. My expectations in business are precision, punctuality, and reliability. Before FME I thought that to achieve this, a leadership style was needed that relied on close monitoring, formal authority, and professionalism. While this style might work well in a culture, such as that of my own, it certainly has elements that other cultures respond to negatively. As a co-CEO I led many of the meetings and I have noticed that while back home in Hungary people responded with enthusiasm and commitment to my style of leadership, here in the US it triggered quite a different reaction on many occasions. Not to say that my style is flawed but certainly some aspects of it must be adapted to suit different cultures. Jenn Eng at one point told me that at first she felt distanced and frightened of me as a leader until she got to know me better as a person. My CLTP coach also highlighted that while my dominating leadership style may be extremely useful, it can also have long-term drawbacks on the team. While I focused on most of the feedback that my CLTP coach gave me, I perhaps overlooked her advice regarding the potential long-term impact of my leadership style. While to me business meant business, to others it means more than mere work. I found it difficult to mix fun with work because since

Leadership has been around for many years yet, still unable to contain it in a particular definition everyone agree on. There are numerous effective leadership styles used in the organization to achieve their goals. “Leadership is becoming increasingly recognized as a crucial issue for organizations facing change in a complex and volatile environment.”(Higgs 2009, p. 165) The leader is the person who can guide and inspire others to do things according to their needs with the success of the group as a goal. “Leadership may be considered as the process of influencing the activities of an organized group in its efforts toward goal setting and goal achievement.” (Stogdill 1950, p. 3) If the team led by powerful leader, it is most likely that the team will be able to meet the goals as well as their purpose and success.
