Leadership is the most essential aspect of a successful operation; without a leader there is no concise direction or defined power in charge. A leader’s intangibles and instincts must be sharp, knowing that everything hinges on their ability to place their people in the best possible situations to thrive. For as long as humanity has existed, man has always had a leader; both good and bad leaders, qualified or unqualified. People are divided on the concept of what a leader is. Are leaders naturally born? What makes up a leader? How do we determine a leader?

Leadership is, and always has been, a vital aspect of social and economic constructs. It is essential to the survival of societies, industries, organizations, and virtually any group of individuals that come together for a common purpose. However, leadership is difficult to define in a single, definitive sense. As such, theories of leadership, what constitutes a great leader, and how leaders are made have evolved constantly throughout history, and still continue to change today in hopes of improving upon our understanding of leadership, its importance, and how it can be most effective in modern organizational cultures.

A third strength of my leadership practice is my ability to meet the goals of the organization in a timely matter. The trust that I have for our CEO allows me to challenge any of my assignments enough to clarify the needed outcomes and then I become fully supportive. With the weakened state of the healthcare systems across the nation, it is imperative that my team and I are responsive and quick to take action when called upon. The fact of the

In 1967, Leon Gorman was made president of the well known Maine retail company known as L.L. Bean. Gorman was elected president by the board of directors just eight months after the death of his grandfather and company founder L.L. Bean. After working only six years for the company before being promoted, Gorman had an immense task to take the company to the next level and begin planning for the future. Through calculated leadership, Leon Gorman was able to accomplish that task and take L.L. Bean from $4.75 million to $1.5 billion in sales before stepping down in 2013. Leon Gorman reached far beyond his grandfather’s expectations and made L.L. Bean one of the most recognized brands in the United States and abroad. What makes Leon Gorman a great leader was not not only what he did for sales and profits, but what he did for his employees and community. Mr Gorman “was a boss, mentor, coach, community leader, dear friend, and inspiration,” Chris McCormick, president and CEO of L.L. Bean Inc., said in a statement on his death. “Most importantly, he was the most decent human being you would ever want to meet. We will all miss him greatly” (Marquard, 2015).

Leadership is a difficult task, by which a person impacts others to accomplish an objective. While this is a challenging situation in any field, it is of extreme significance in the healthcare setting, where quality of service, trust, and ultimately people's lives are dependant. In addition, leadership-- whether it be positive or

There were many options to interview for this assignment, after careful thought on whom to interview, I decided to interview someone outside of my work environment. I chose to interview a healthcare director who is much energized towards making change and being the best leader they can be. I liked the idea of interviewing this individual for the experience of having some awareness into an organization which I knew very little about, it was insightful to see leadership within a different frame of reference than I typically see within my work environment. The person I met with asked not to be named directly, his title is a director level at a large healthcare organization. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from Ferris State and a Master’s degree (I don’t recall the college) in healthcare administration. He is a very energetic person and is very clear in the importance of good leadership. He was quick to start our meeting and take the lead by emphasizing to me how critical leadership is and that it’s a critical component towards the success of any organization, effective leaders help ensure that everyone works together seamlessly and they are much more likely to achieve the organization’s goals and success. A successful leader will be vital in motivating employees, communicating strategic directions and achieving organizational goals, without a good leader all of the organizations resources are less effective than they could be.

A successful and societally beneficial healthcare organization must have a leader who has a sense of right and wrong, exhibits restraint, dispenses wisdom, and is a visionary that guides the organization to reach its maximum potential. The role of a successful leader is dependent upon employees that embrace the organization’s culture, mission, and direction. An effective leader rallies employee support and allegiance to the organization’s cause. An influential leader can elicit employee positivity and dedication, and has the ability to engage employees in achieving goals set forth by the organization and leadership.

To: Amanda Cabot, CEO, Dansko Inc. From: Ryan Davis, Jentry Highland, Mashari Al-Badar & Zachary Jochem Date: 8.7.2014 RE: Recommendation for the future of Dansko, Inc. ______________________________________________________________________________ Executive Summary: “Dansko, Inc., a casual footwear company known for Danish clogs, has successfully and organically grown from a mom and pop operation to a cult phenom. The company is currently faced with how to achieve scalability with their growth and whether to sell or continue to try to grow organically. The owners started the business with no knowledge or experience in the shoe industry, and were able to “stay gourmet” throughout their major period of growth (1997-2004).

There’s increasing need for new leadership and helping organizations develop innovative ways to build rapport with workers and improve their management skills. In the health care field, the development of compelling and inspiring leaders is critical. During this age, when the health care field and life in general are surrounded by clouds of uncertainty, medical professionals need encouragement in taking on responsibilities to the full extent of their capabilities. Health care advocates support a three-fold concept of vision, organizational culture and operational excellence to support this kind of work environment. With the right vision and encouragement, health care leaders can create rising

Heroes and leaders have long had a popular following in literature and in our own imaginations. From Odysseus in ancient Grecian times to May Parker in Spider-man Two, who states, “We need a hero, courageous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. I believe there’s a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble” (Raimi, 2004). Organizations need heroes, too. We call them organizational leaders. The study of organizational leadership, then, is really the study of what makes a person a successful hero. Or, what processes, constructs, traits, and dynamics embody the image of a successful leader.

The Chief Executive Officer of Kosmos, Brian .F. Maxted stated that, their plans for such investments is anchored on the present outstanding performance of the Jubilee Field saying the current field deliverability is substantially above the FPSO capacity [66].

This paper will incorporate four of the self-assessment I completed (Leadership, 2004). They are as follows; social motives in the work setting, my leadership styles, emotional intelligence, and team excellence. I will also identify and discuss my leadership characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. We must first understand what leadership means. To lead, nonetheless, is to excite, to impact, and to inspire. Successful leaders move others to draw in incredibleness, to stretch out themselves and to go past their perform work necessities by producing innovative thoughts. It has been said that directors are individuals who do things right and leaders are individuals who make the best choice." This refinement is to some degree exaggerated since successful leaders do a considerable measure of overseeing and compelling chiefs need to lead.

As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, it requires people who attain great leadership qualities. The success of an organization depends on employees that can inspire people around them to achieve greatness and deliver quality care to the patients. Being in the healthcare industry, we have seen many changes recently. Therefore, by having a person with leadership qualities to guide others through these changes, while maintaining an organization that can deliver quality care is indispensable.

For decade’s individuals, companies, and organizations have spent an unprecedented amount of money on researching, molding, modeling and working to define what a leader is and what characteristics make successful leaders. Despite all the research, there is not a quick answer or even full agreement as to what makes an individual an effective leader. The definition of a leader is “someone who can influence others and who has managerial authority.” (Robbins, Decenzo, Coulter, 2015. P.370)
