Description of Leader Lynley joined the UNTHSC team about 20 years ago as a research assistant in the department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience after receiving a degree (BS) in Neuropsychology from TCU. Every day she would come into the research center and work with rats on improving diseases and conditions many American are fighting today. After about 6 years in Pharmacology, her boss at the time took a position in Information Technology Services (ITS) as a grant writer. A spot opened in ITS at the Helpdesk, and as Lynley had a lot of computer maintenance and software support in the labs. Several people, including her boss, recommended that she apply for the helpdesk position. Lynley was looking for a change and she felt that this could be a start of something great. It was definitely something different than what she was used to. She had also become bored with what she was doing and has developed an allergy to the rats. The rest, as they say, is history. Lynley’s journey in ITS has taken her from helpdesk Assistant to her current position as Chief Information Officer. Lynley leads a team of accomplished developers, analysts, and client support technicians. Every day she gets to do what she loves, which is helping the HSC teams succeed. Each day is different, and hardly ever predictable, which Lynley thinks is fabulous. On the personal side, Lynley has been married to a wonderful man for 17 years, and is the proud mom of 3. She has 2 girls and 1 boy; ages 13, 10 and 9.

This case study is an analysis of leadership as exhibited by Rebecca S. Halstead. The article published at Harvard Business School by Boris Groysberg and Deborah Bell details the traits, motivations and leadership style that Halstead exemplified. Through the analysis of this article I hope to not only document the achievements of Rebecca Halstead but also document and assimilate the leadership lessons imparted by her. An important observation I have made from the progress of time I this course is that study of leadership is synonymous with studying great leaders. The study of science involves experiments & making observations based on results. However, leadership is not an absolute science, there are various approaches. Every leader has a different style & combination of traits. Aspiring leaders & scholars of leadership must find their individual combination to succeed.
Lisa continued to feel disappointed that Linton did not make time for her. She began feeling like a “fifth wheel.” After six weeks had passed, Benton still had no idea what her goals and objectives were. John Gabarro and John Kotter state, “If the relationship between you and your boss is rocky, then it is you who must begin to manage it.” Instead of depending on Houseworld and relying on Deborah Linton to forward Benton’s career, she should assume leadership and responsibility of her own development and find ways to understand Linton as a manager and her preferred work style to get the information she needs to progress.
