Case Analysis : Eldred Hosea Moye

Over the past couple of months, we discussed several traits, skills, and behaviors that have contributed to the success of both past and present leaders. Intelligence, integrity, charisma, and confidence are some of the traits that characterize many of these leaders. Interpersonal skills, oratory skills, and conceptual skills are some of the more important skills that helped to shape their leadership style. Some of these skills go hand in hand with the traits that are essential for strong leadership. Meanwhile, the behaviors that drive these leaders include inspiring and motivating others, collaboration, having a strategic perspective and trust. Combined, these traits, skills and behaviors make for effective leadership.

Great leaders generally have to lead more than one person. They have a group or team that needs to collaborate and cooperate in order to get the work done, and this means that the leader needs to be adept at

A leader must be able to assess situations correctly. Many leaders struggle with having the right judgment without any sense of bias.

Before defining an individual as a great leader, one must first understand the definition of leadership and the qualities that make a leader. According to businessdictionary.com, “leadership involves establishing a clear vision, sharing that vision with others so that they will follow willingly, providing the information, knowledge and methods to realize that vision, and coordinating and balancing the conflicting interests of all members and stakeholders.” The website goes on to say that “a leader is the one who steps up in times of crisis, and is able to think and act creatively in difficult situations. Unlike management, leadership cannot be taught, although it may be learned and enhanced through coaching or mentoring” (Leadership).

He has the ability of determining strategies for the future status of our department before light is shaded on any red flags. He has an incredible grasp on overseeing adherence to all regulations, budgets and staffing for three emergency departments and 42 labs. According to Troutman there is a saying that "He who risks nothing has nothing, does nothing and is nothing. (Troutman 2013), “Leaders must take risks.” This definitely describes Robert and his ability to manage effectively. There are so many traits of an effective leader that he poses. I believe that it actually depends on the individual as to which traits make them a great leader. To me Robert Mitchell has shown what a great leader he is. I believe that while attending college, I will recognize more of my management qualities and I will be able to strengthen those qualities, and hopefully one day become an influential leader as he is to me.

This inquiry is set out to define the components that make up an effective leader, whilst taking

“At times of change or dealing with uncertainty or in a crisis-- that is when the best leader will shine” (Ellis, 2016). A leader who can work effectively in a complicated, unpredictable situation is a competent leader and he tirelessly works to improve his capabilities (Ledlow & Coppola, 2010). All great leaders are known for communicating effectively what they want to achieve. They are visionaries who have the ability to lead others toward a shared goal (Gibson & Weber, 2015).

Substance abuse is a recurring problem in the military. The USA Today news article; “Ex-soldier Returns to Fight Substance Abuse in Military” talks about Frank L. Greenagel Jr., who opened up a counseling center for substance abuse. He also served in the military and agreed that there are many individuals who are dealing with substance addiction while serving the country. It is clear that these individuals need help before things could potentially become fatal.

Throughout history, the most important and influential leaders have been recognized for their positive or negative impact among various civilizations. Regardless of their outcomes, great leaders around the world undeniably share particular traits or skills that have enabled them to achieve their vision. Dr. Travis Bradberry’s 12 Habits of Exceptional Leaders, attempts to deliver a condensed list of essential elements that characterize great leaders. According to the author, great leaders possess a variety of 12 unique traits that individuals can follow to enhance their leadership skills. Although the author offers a clear summation of these elements, the article is vaguely credible as it fails to provide evidence and effective methods to

On the 7th of October 2014, I interviewed Mr. Johnson, the owner of Island House Restaurant & Marina in Wachapreague, Virginia, who served 13 years in the United States Special Warfare Teams, also known as the United States Navy Seals. Graduating from High-School Mr. Johnson attended North Dakota State University where he planned to study Pharmacy. But by his second semester, he decided to no longer study Pharmacy, due to financial reasons and accumulating student debt, and join the United States Navy in his fall semester of his sophomore year. He later achieved a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Education.

In Band of Brothers Episode 5, Crossroads, the audience is introduced in the first scene to Captain Winters running across an open field and coming to an embankment at the end of the field. On the other side of the embankment sits a German soldier scrounging for something on the ground. Winters squeezes the trigger and then the screen goes black. This scene as short as it is I believe is a very powerful way to start the entire episode. If one were to break this scene down there is several traces of leadership that can be found.

Having a leader who doesn’t know what they are doing isn’t that great.There is no telling if they will pull through, or if they will get you out of the hard situations. We should encourage certain traits, so that we don’t have to worry if our leaders are up to the task. Two good examples of magnificent leaders are Lin-Manuel Miranda ( “Lin-Manuel Miranda Biography” Biography.com by Clarence Haynes) and Odysseus (“The Odyssey” by Homer). They help inspire us and remind us to be clever and determined. Some may say that neither are well fit to be called brilliant leaders, but would terrible ones be as loved and cherished as they are? Only the determined and clever make it to the top. Determination

“Leadership is more ability than job. Moreover, it is all about determination, ability to solve problems, set direction for followers, gather them for common purpose and motivating people to achieve tasks. Furthermore, it is a charisma and the ability to reacting at the right time for a particular competitive situation” (L.Mullins, 2010, P372).

Effective leaders are rare. They are created through the trials and tribulations of managing or working with people in a variety of settings. Most good leaders have had their fair share of hard knocks that awakened them to the greater

Leadership is not just about the title, the position or the duration one has been in a certain office. It takes more than just that to be sufficiently effective. In our society today, there is quite a number of the so called ‘leaders’ who do not really deserve to be called by that title because they do not effectively live up to the expectations of the mandate in which they are called or trusted with. There are some qualities or attributes that are necessary in the life and operation of a leader which make him an effective leader. Some of those qualities include ethics, effective communication, trustworthy, engaging themselves at their best, being creative with credibility, and having a character and not just competence. All these
