Dr. Hirsch 's Leadership Style

Bill Owens says “true leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best, doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well” (as cited in Kruse, 2012, #87). Leaders do amazing work and inspire so many people that we often forget that leaders are humans too. Just like us leaders have downfalls that they aren’t aware of or are trying to fix. Employees may feel that they are not part of a team and that their ideas and thoughts are not valued because of six different downfalls a leader can portray (Comaford, 2013).

In addition to my personal challenges my personal strengths interfer. A personal strength I have is talking , I love sharing my opinion. Another personal strength I have is giving good advice because I love helping people solve their problem or help make their lives easier. Lastly another personal strength I have is just listening because I am a good person to vent to because I don’t judge. Therefore I always spread positivity and lean a hand.

My second key strength is showing gratitude to others. If someone does something for me or helps me develop a new skill. I show gratitude to them by thanking them, and I tell them that really appreciate their help. I am there for that person when they need my help.

My biggest strength is my adaptability. I always try to have an open mind when I meet others who have different views than me. I see the option for learning in my failures, and always keep in mind my end goal when things don’t always go as planned. My biggest weakness is that I always like to be in control. I like to have a plan, and stick to it. I will overcome this weakness by trusting others to take lead, and stop worrying about things I have no control over.

I think that one of my best strengths is that I can get along with people. Going to a large high school has led me to become the mediator in a number of situations and I learned how to make people feel better and prevent future conflicts. This is a very important skill to have in the community due to the fact that most of my life is in the presence of other

Learning- Learning is another strength of mine. I have always been taught to ask questions as a little boy and as a result this inquisitiveness has formed part of my nature. Some of my hobbies I have learnt about are electronics, tennis skills and the Chinese language.

My ability to turn adversity into triumph is the single greatest strength I possess. This is shown through the hardships I dealt with my Junior year of high school.

K.W. reports that there are many ways to describe a leader; however, the most important one in the health care industry would be flexibility (K. Wilcox, personal communication, March 24, 2016). K.W. believes that one must be able to adjust to each and every situation according to what is needed; sometimes you must be passionate and show this where at other times you must be reserved (K. Wilcox, personal communication, March 24, 2016). He states that you must display courage through the tough decisions that present, remaining humble enough to admit when you do not know the answers (K. Wilcox, personal communication, March 24, 2016). He believes that leadership is like any other skill, just like in nursing you are taught how to start an IV, it is a skill that is learned and developed overtime (K.

Our culture is highly influenced by television, we constantly see shows like Undercover Boss, Bad Boss, and Ect.. Most leaders are not a true reflection of the leaders portrayed on these shows and movies. Effective leaders make the best possible effort to help the company strive and compete within their realm of business. Sometimes striving for these goals leaders may fall into “bad” habits or more so known as pitfalls without realizing it, which may cause their employees to feel unwanted or unmotivated. There are a total of six pitfalls a leader can fall to; failing to provide feedback, failing to celebrate victories, showing favoritism, working employees too hard, acknowledging people only

“Leaders in health care should be upfront and leading by example to demonstrate their leadership abilities and assist with health care duties and responsibilities. A good leader says let’s go and gets things done instead of waiting for others to get them done. He must be in the front line seeing patients and managing the health care duties that makes their health care practices successful. An efficient leader must understand every-ones roles and responsibilities in order to appreciate what everyone does in the practice. Appreciating what each employee does for the practice is key to

Trying to decide what your personal strengths are, is hard. For myself, I have grown in my strengths, and I’ve experienced my weaknesses. My personal strengths consist of: positivity, encouragement, laughter, and love. I pick these four because I feel that I am truly strongest in these aspects of my life. Being positive is a big factor in everything I do. I always want to be happy and joyful; not only to display Christ in me, but to make others feel the way I do. I want others to appreciate life and to feel any kind of uplift in his or her spirt. Positivity plays into encouragement. I make it my goal to make others feel better about themselves. My goal coming into college was to learn and know every person(s) name that I got the chance to meet. Just taking a few minutes out of your day to truly get to know someone, is such a blessing. It not only blesses me in new friendships, but it also blesses others because they feel that someone genuinely cares about them. Laughter is another characteristic I strive to pour out onto others. I laugh at practically everything. I love to laugh, and I love to make people laugh. I’ve learned the importance of laughter, and I just want to make one person smile every day. Love is my last of the four attributes. Love is so important to me. I love creation (Trees, birds, squirrels), God, and I love people. I just want the love that God has given me, to pour out onto others. I want others to know that I love them. These are my personal strengths

In this type of leadership, the leader is always welcoming new ideas, new ways of doing things and new opportunities for employees. The line of communication is very open, employees feel free to share ideas and offer direct recognition of the unique contribution of each employee. The culture within the organization’s is about collaboration and opportunity, they believe in working together to achieve the organization’s goal, by promoting teamwork among staff, empowering staff to become more involved in making policies and procedures, stimulate staff to work at a high level and promoting self-esteem. In this kind of leadership, the leader will focus on the big picture and

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
