Advantages of an Internship Program

It is believed leadership can be taught. There are many training facilities and different present organizations that offer leadership training for their employees. These training classes are directed by psychologists whom utilize self-report questionnaires to help one understand themselves which will then, in turn, help them learn to lead others. John Storey in Leadership in Organizations argues that “it is impossible to lead others without a deep understanding of oneself” (Storey, 2004, p.125). There are various theories in regards to leadership, but according to our textbook they can all be categorized into six theory approaches. The first one is

Leadership can be defined as the process of identifying a goal, motivating others, and make them to achieve the mutually goals (Giltinane, 2013). According to Humphreys (2002), successful leaders do this by applying their leadership knowledge and skills. A good leadership is not only good at management, but also use different leadership styles in different situations. A successful corporation must has a good leader who have the flexible ability which can provide a suitable leadership to make the company successful. Furthermore, there have no perfect leadership styles in the world. Different leader have different leadership styles which also have the different strengths and weaknesses (Ali & Waqar, 2013). Leaders need to consider

Effective leaders opt to implement a specific type of leadership style as a result of their personalities and job experiences, and apply it to their organizational structure. However, that particular type of leadership style a leader utilizes may not apply to every job situation (Peak et al., 2010). In order to be an effective leader, an individual must acquire the three basic leadership skills and they are as follows: (1) human relations; (2) conceptual skills; and (3) technical skills (Haberfeld, 2013). Additionally, a skillful leader must also be proficient in motivating, communicating, and problem solving (Hess & Orthmann, 2012).

When looking back in one’s career, each manager in the organization leads and develops employees differently. A person can apprehend that each leader has their own leadership style with

A leader must have a high commitment level to the organization, the ability to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the personnel they work with to develop effective teams, and the ability to communicate effectively to avoid misconceptions. A leader must care about and support their members in ways that help both the member and the organization as a whole. As Lt. Col. Matt Joganichs’ uncle stated to him prior to administering the commissioned officer’s oath, “make sure you take care of your people. If you do that, they’ll take care of you.”1 To me, taking care of and supporting your member’s means to ensure people have a positive work environment, they have access to the training the need to perform their jobs, are able to provide input to policies that effect the organization, and that there are procedures in-place to ensure people are being treated fairly. My leadership philosophy was developed to encompass these leadership traits to provide a solid foundation for the organization to succeed. Whenever a leadership philosophy is developed it is always good to perform continual analysis of it for improvements. One of the best ways to improve upon your leadership philosophy is to discuss leadership challenges with those that are more experienced than you in

Each professional spoke about the internship programs in their own companies. They then talked about the most important factors when applying for internships. Having a 3.0 is more important than a 4.0 because it will get you in the door for an internship. From there, experience and internships become much more important. Related experience includes internships, projects, and research experience. One of the best ways to stand out once obtaining an internship is to “articulate a desire to learn”.

Humanistic Encouraging and Achievement are the two styles that are impacting the last two functions of management. Leading helps to greater drive toward the planned objectives.
