David Novak 's Point Of View

In Leadership 101 by John Maxwell, the author uses practical application points to give guidance on what it takes to be good leader.

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." Dwight D. Eisenhower This quote from Eisenhower rings true on many levels. During my career in the military and the private sector, I have been subjected to many different styles of leadership, good or bad. In my leadership roles I have attained, I tried to model leadership abilities by taking bits and pieces of previous leader’s styles and forming them into my own model. This has proven to work well as dealing with people from all different walks of life there is no one size fits all approach. In writing this paper, I will detail my own leadership platform drawing from the course material and various other sources. The goal of this paper is to show a solid understanding of the course teachings and perhaps give the reader a new found perspective on leadership.

There are different leadership theories developed throughout the history. Most popular ones are trait theories, behavioral theories, contingency theories, and leader-member exchange (LMX) theory.

Chapter sixteen discusses various leadership theories which can implemented by leaders to achieve success.

Among many theories I prefer these two because I tend to practice those principles most of the time and I assume these are theories that I truly tend to continue in a long run.

Compare and contrast at least three major theories of leadership, fully describing the major elements of each. Your response should include your analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each model, including how they might apply in actual situations.

Examples of the author’s leadership style are once everyone is on the same level; the leader organizes people into groups focusing on particular tasks. The leader oversees everyone and every committee. He or she has to make sure everyone is doing what should be done and takes advantage of everyone’s skills in order to get the job done. When a new problem arises he or she reacts quickly and efficiently to solve it. For example if a discussion arises among two of the committees dealing with a particular task, the leader determines what the problem is and solves it by having someone else accomplishing the task.
