Cricket Wireless : An Organization

As a leader, we can show people that we believe in them despite our personal feelings by providing positive feedback and encouragement. By providing positive feedback and encouragement, we can inspire people to feel confident and show that we trust their abilities to do the best job possible. Showing people that we dislike them and do not believe in them can create stressful relationships which will affect the quality of work be done, however through positive feedback and encouragement we can develop healthy relationships to obtain the best results. Sometimes if we try to build a good rapport and believe each other, we can eventually overcome our differences and find common ground despite not liking everything about each other.

This paper will first discuss briefly what ethics are and provide the definition for an ethical issue. An ethical leadership issue is identified and explained for this author’s practice area. We will then identify and discuss key strategies for leadership that are pertinent to the ethical issue. Next, empirical evidence which supports the strategies discussed will be analyzed. Then, the impact and importance of the strategies will be stated. The final step will be to provide a conclusion to the reader that summarizes the content and strategies.

Leaders draw people into a shared sense of purpose by creating a distinctive well crafted and compelling vision of the organisations future.

This paper will respond to three questions, “Are all managers leaders?” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 425) “What are some common barriers preventing leaders from behaving ethically and how can these barriers be overcome?” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 450) And “Is it possible for leadership substitutes to be effective?” (Phillips & Gully, 2014, p. 450)

Antecedents that influence leadership include factors such as the leader’s personality and ethics, followers’ openness, and cultural norms. Furthermore, the leader’s behaviors affect the process. For example, a leader needs to be knowledgeable regarding an organization’s goals to effectively address and handle difficult situations. A servant leader assists followers in achieving purposes. A leader treats followers fairly and respects personal values. The leader helps followers learn to make choices. An ideal outcome is a favorable effect on the followers, organization, and community. The leader can determine which needs will help followers progress and plan to meet those needs through developing programs or obtaining funding (Northouse, 2016).Servant leadership is important for management because it affects employee’s productivity. While a manager requires work to be completed and appears unconcerned if an employee has a problem, the servant leader may help a follower so he or she can work successfully. For example, although a manager may penalize an employee for arriving late, a servant leader may ask the employee what he or she needs to arrive to work on time. After the leader and the employee successfully collaborate, the effect is that the manager is appeased and the employee keeps a job. A servant leader can help employees develop a supportive community

My understanding of the seven tasks of the ethical leader in creating value for an organization’s stakeholders is that these seven tasks should lead as a guide to leaders. It is essential for leaders to be role models for their employees. A leader needs to not just think about themselves, but to consider how their actions will affect others, including the image of the company. Having a process for employees to address their concerns and feel they are being heard is very important for leading a team. This creates value and a feeling of belonging within a company. Developing key employees and utilizing their talents also gives them value as well as value for others. This raises the bar for them to step up and become role models as well. Always acting in the best interest of the company, even if it is letting someone go.

The two real examples will demonstrate the significance of leaders how to support their employees and establish the trust and morale between of them to build people skill in companies to make higher profits. According to Bauza (2016), “Out of 100 executives surveyed at the Society for Human Resource Management in Washington, D.C., in June, 73% of them blamed low employee morale on poor leadership”. John Challenger who works in Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. He shows that morale is essential for the leaders to enhance the employees in the workplace to more efficiency. This exemplifies that successful leaders can increase the morale in the workplaces to enhance the employees’ unity in the leadership to build the good connection with people

When I had asked my interviewee how he had gotten to be a manager, his first response was that he performed at a high level and his leadership had recognized that. After going through a rigorous training program to test if he was ready for management he got his first promotion and is now a successful regional vice president. It was clear that he was an employee oriented leader who took notice and appreciated the different personalities on his team. In order to impact, a leader must understand that not all people have the same goals and desires, so as a manager it is important to recognize individual goals and perceptions and tailor communication and goals to that specific person. When dealing with a team it is important to set specific goals and objectives or else it is difficult for the team to focus and it can lead to frustration. As a leader, understanding that specific decisions impact individuals and the team, make it important to share the organizations reason and objective behind specific decisions. Also making sure that there is open communication when needing to discuss important changes or information and using knowledge to explain what sort of impact it will have in advance, helps to alleviate the pain from change. This is similar to goal

Leadership is a crucial aspect in any organisation whose goals include succeeding in the target market or industry against its competitors, as well as facilitating an ethical work environment and effective management to achieve those goals. The five articles provided in this analysis address the key issues when organisations fail to acknowledge the importance of ethical and effective leadership practices; including various opinions from significant parties involved. With the support of quantitative research statistics and case study results, these peer reviewed scholarly articles support the importance of leadership. This analysis is focused on the topic of leadership to emphasize the strengths and weaknesses of companies that choose to implement

Each individual within the team represents either a counteractive or progressive force being applied to the overall effectiveness of the leader. After all, the followers largely shape the culture of the entity. Furthermore, culture is directly affected by mission statements and a vision set by the company. The mission statement becomes the organizations outline of established perimeters in which it will engage in. Additionally, the statement defines the purpose for the entity’s existence. Mission statements are not a legally bound requirement to engage in business, therefore, some corporations opt out of a conclusive statement. However, it is argued that lacking a statement may cause members to feel unmotivated from the absence of a distinct

We are called to grow and inspire leaders who love and serve people (Defenders, 2015). Leader is emphasized with the mantra “Everyone is a leader” (Defenders, 2015). A mission statement is created and used to portray larger environment goals and should indirectly guide individuals within an organization to greater outcomes personally and professionally (Kotler & Armstrong, 2014, p. 63). In this mission statement, the focus never hits directly on what the company does or accomplishes from a business aspect. By investing so heavily in the employees themselves, Defenders simplify the business and encourage growth in the individual to reach bigger goals.

Secondly, high performing teams understood where they were, where they are going and how they were going to get there and it was all linked to goals. Successful teams set achievable goals and create a road map on how to follow them with goals in between and beyond the company’s mission statement. In setting team goals they ensure to set individual goals that begin by defining the roles of each individual on the team. Successful managers clearly express expectations and ensure individual goals align with team goals which result in alignment with company goals (Abdallah & Ahluwalia, 2013). When teams met, meetings were highly organized and managers were able to seamlessly move from person to person and accurately gage where each members contributions stood in relation to team and corporate goals. Members were highly engaged and involved with each other, collaborating and assisting each other with completing tasks.

Leadership is by all means a special talent that not all people possess. A leader must also have ethics to be effective for the long term in the corporate world. These leaders generally implement ethical programs in order to influence an organizations climate (Yukl, 2010). I will evaluate the importance of ethical leadership and the role it plays into today’s organizations. In addition, I will discuss the repercussions a company may have when its leadership allows and even rewards unethical business practices. Lastly, I will apply my personal leadership perspective. My perspective will include the path-goal theory and ethical practices that I find important to

Leaders influence by inspiring and enabling through advice and counsel while managing commands and control individuals. “Sensible” words that inspire, motivate and persuade while managers use words that discourage, dismiss and dissuade. In this profession, it is important to improve performance and well-being in those we lead, not manage. Therefore, the words we use can either impact those around us to achieve greater or give us an additional reason to give up. For example, I work with a team of an individual that acknowledges the input. The effect of acknowledging the input makes me crave to come up with new invaded ideas to prioritize the team. Using “sensible” words such as; teamwork, collaboration or unity helps an individual feel appreciated and needed. The use of these “sensible” words gives us a sense of purpose and a motivation to crave more. Susan N. Schriber once stated, “But most of all I hope I am making them always requisite to learn more”. A prominent leader always requires more from their employee/students by encouraging and guiding through

Whether operating in a formal or informal context, managers ought to inspire their teams to ease accomplishment of the mutually agreed goals. Despite the existence of management theories and mentorship programs, managers may not make the desired impact at work if they fail to appreciate their influence on employees. The powerful position of a manager within an organization determines virtually every employee’s experience in life. Being the most influential factor in everyone’s daily living; leaders are always under scrutiny from their subordinates, who are keen on picking things that concern them. Due to the greater effects on individuals’ well-being both within and outside the organization, it is imperative for managers to learn how to
