In everyday life, whether it is in the workplace or personal life, people have a certain level of ethics that is expected. This course has influenced me to be more aware of how we deal with people and their problem. I think that the body of Christ has not taken seriously the professional and legal ethic of Christianity. We look at it from the secular world or the work places, but not our personal lives and or neither do we incorporate it in our churches properly. Ethics is about knowing and doing what is good or right, for the Christian, this means applying the Bible and other resources of the Christian faith to help decide and do what is ethically or morally right.

You may have experienced that the way we are and do things are many times different from others, and conflicts arose because of these differences. We wished many times that other people are better developed in their character. Yet, we must know that others look at us in the same way. There remain, for most of us, a wide gap between what we wish we could be and what we are, possibly for a long long time. It is not possible that we work with all perfect people for we are all under development. It is important for us as leaders to keep developing our character. As a matter of fact, lack of growth in

Adaptive leadership may be the most follower-centric theory of leadership covered in our study thus far. As a component of Complexity Leadership Theory, adaptive leadership premise is for leaders to encourage followers to overcome problems through empowerment (Norhouse, 2013). In this concept, leaders do not assert their legitimate authority to answer the tough questions. Rather, through mobilization, motivation, organization, orientation, and focus, leaders facilitate learning transactions to resolve uncertainly or novel events.

Human “character”, is the pattern of thinking and acting which runs right through someone, so that wherever you cut into them, you see the same person through and through [1]. The transformation of a person character is their virtue. Virtue is what happens when wise and courageous choices have become “second nature [2].” Wright differentiates a biblical framework from a Greek moral framework in that Jesus and his followers are offering the three-dimensional model toward Aristotle two-dimensional points [3]. Wright gives us excellent contrast between biblical and Greek moral framework and I agree with his positions. For example, Aristotle felt for someone

This paper summarizes the article written by Cam Caldwell, Rolf D. Dixon, Larry A. Floyd, Joe Chaudoin, Johnathan Post, and Gaynor Cheokas regarding the need for a new type of leadership in today’s social work environment, defined as Transformative leadership. The article itself varies in the definition, however in a broad sense Transformative leadership is maintaining good moral standing and sound business ethics among employees and individuals inside and outside the workplace. However, in order to reach this theoretical level of business related moral and ethical leadership known as

Effective leadership approaches from a biblical perspective consist of God’s nature in his manifested character. Christian leaders are willing to pay the price to lead in Christ’s affliction. Paul said there is a price to pay in order to lead and Jesus reminded us, “Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master. ' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also” (John 15:20, New International Version). Christian leaders need core attributes of God’s styles and approaches, support and linkage from scriptures, and knowledge of his leadership models of truth for effective leadership. However, these perspectives will gave me a better appreciation and insight of who God is and who I can be with his guidance.

Transformational leadership taps into the motives of followers in order to reach their goals, while transactional focuses on the exchanges that occur between leaders and followers (Northouse, 2013). The branches of the military in general would be considered transactional leadership organizations. This type of leadership encourages followers to perform tasks at a high level in order to achieve advancement or increase in pay or rank. Conversely, transformational leadership would be focused on creating a connection between the leader and the followers, in order to perform tasks in such a way as to increase the feeling of morality in both the leader and the follower (Northouse, 2013). Panorama did not exhibit any behavior that tried to motivate Bailey to feel a connection to him. Instead, Panorama tried to intimidate, coerce, and punish Bailey to execute the tasks he was required to perform.

Similar to a mentoring relationship, the foundation of deliberately developing juniors is based on trust, honesty, and openness. Having served in two special duties, I find that sharing my personal story and experiences in those assignments is extremely beneficial. These experiences allow me to openly discuss the full array of challenges from specific job challenges to effects on family life. Additionally, I like to share the benefits I gained from serving in these positions ranging from skillsets to pride while helping a subordinate further internalize Service Before self and the needs of the Air Force. This experience-sharing is an excellent opportunity to use the Idealized Influence aspect of transformational leadership while providing Inspirational Motivation.

In history, nurses didn’t have any roles in the leadership and management aspect of running the practice. We were the subordinates of the doctors and were dubbed as handmaidens. However, there were nurses who were ahead of their time and develop d theories, which helped shape the nursing profession we now practice today. One of these powerful and inspirational nurses is Florence Nightingale, in which we, nurses, pledged based on her ideals and theory. Nowadays, nurses have taken an active role not only in politics, but also in leadership and management. To be an effective leader, a nurse has to possess qualities of a good leader. The purpose of this paper is to select a leadership theory and how I could adapt that theory to my nursing practice.

Charisma theory is described as a “gift”, or a unique superiority of an individual character. This is set by an advantage of which the individual is set apart from the common man and treated as a gem with supremacies (Charismatic vs. Transformational, 2011). Whereas the transformational theory is defined as leaders who enthuse followers to use their own egocentricities to benefit the organization (Charismatic vs. Transformational, 2011). These leaders also possess a gift of having a great impact on their followers (Charismatic vs. Transformational, 2011). Theories are apprehended around the world and almost every aspect of life possesses a theory behind them, whether there is action or unfolding someone’s personality. There are two leadership theories that will be conveyed, Charismatic Leadership and Transformational Leadership. Behind each theory is a founder that explains these concepts, James MacGregor Burns the founder of Transformational leadership (Conger, n.d.) and Karl Emil Maximilian "Max" Weber the founder of Charismatic leadership ("Transformational," n.d.). Over the course of time, movies have been made, demonstrating these theories, for example an old classic “The Lion King” ("Leadership Movies," 2008). This movie coveys both MacGregor Burns and Karl Emil Maximilian "Max" Weber’s theories.
