Drake Community Reflection

Drake's new album called “Views” extremely caught my attention. This album had numerous exceptional songs that I could easily relate to. I connected to this album better than some of his other albums that were produced such as “So Far Gone” and “Room For Improvement” because this album had more diversity. For instance, in this album, he put a lot of his thoughts into it but he also put logic. “Views” was the fourth studio album by Drake and was also supported by five billboard singles: "Hotline Bling", "One Dance", "Pop Style", "Controlla" and "Too Good", which are some of my favorite tracks from this album. I absolutely love this album because it shows the struggles that Drake has faced emotionally and it gives us the ability to connect to

Leadership is the elaboration of group inspiration. One person entrusted as leader can implore the aid, and support of supporters in the accomplishment of a common mission. According to Gurdjian, Halbeisen, and Lane “Becoming a more effective leader often requires changing behavior. But although most companies recognize that this also means adjusting underlying mind-sets, too often these organizations are reluctant to address the root causes of why leaders act the way they do” (Gurdjian, Halbeisen, and Lane, 2014) However, today abundant businesses engross importance on the improvement of leaders. Some of the ultimate leaders were formerly followers, such as in instructive businesses. One aspect as leaders many have to contemplate in striving

Many times in life, we are convinced that leaders rise from the ground, pulling the rest of us up to meet them. Followers are portrayed as decorations to help enhance the leader. The relationship between them, however, is more closely resembling a tower. Followers support and build up to a major cause with the leader at the top, the figurehead of their ideals. The ideal leader is the ideal follower, which helps to portray outwards the qualities they're looking for and the goals they have. The difficulty arises when today's society raises everyone to believe that they must be a leader or they're a loser. As Reese Bobby in Talladega Nights said, "If you're not first, you're last." During my time on the girl's golf team, I was in no way the best

This passage from the epic poem The Iliad takes place near the end of book six. This book starts off with Hector, son of the Trojan King Priam, entering Troy after being in battle. He stands out as he enters due to the city being full of women and children, as all the men are out in battle. He walks around the city, first meeting with his mother, Hecuba, then meeting with his brother, Paris, and then finally meeting with his wife and son, Andromache and Astyanax. Hector then proceeds to talk with his wife and play with his son, before finally returning to battle.

Boxers are they just bullies in silk shorts., or are they genuine athletes. Boxing is a physical contest between two combatants who use their fists to defeat their opponent. While it may seem like a common bully there is more to a boxer than just throwing punches. The life of the typical boxer generally consists of time training, career fights, and finally recovering from lifelong injuries.

Followers help leaders manifest their vision. Successful followers (supporters or team members) come in a wide variety of personal characteristics. There are people who may be good followers who do not make good leaders or even want to be leaders, but there are no good leaders who are not good followers. A good leader was once a follower. Without followers there is no leadership in any organization. Leaders can develop effective followers as followers develop effective leaders. The performance of followers and leaders of an organization are variables that depend on one another. Both roles are proactive together they can

As a good follower, I need to accept responsibility and I need to be aware of the tasks that I have to take on. I have to readily support my leader at all times and I should be able to voice my opinions to my leader in a very supportive way. Leaders can only lead an organization successfully if they have personalities that appeal to their followers. The individual reflection and big five

The importance placed on the follower’s opinions and capabilities acknowledges the value of his or her contribution by leadership. It motivates people to do their best and achieve the necessary goal(s). This empowerment by leadership therefore promotes a beneficial message between leaders and followers allowing for future communication when difficult circumstances might arise.

In life, there are followers, and there are leaders. Leaders depend upon their followers for backup and support. Followers depend on their leaders to be their guide through life, and to do what they think is best for their life, instead of making these kinds of choices themselves. In the fictional novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, there are some very obvious examples of these leadership positions. Of course, the characters don't always do the best job filling their role.

Leaders are required to engage, support and collaborate with followers who share a vision and a passion to implement needed change in the HCS (Abdel Malak, 2016; Grossman & Valiga, 2013). Both leaders and followers invest a lot of time, energy, and commitment into forming relationships and building trust that is needed for effective teamwork (Abdel Malak, 2016; Grossman & Valiga, 2013). A leader must be able to identify and recognize the dynamics between them and the followers, what the followers expect and want from their leader, and how to engage them to achieve change without demonstrating power and authority (Abdel Malak, 2016).

Leadership has become overly romanticized by popular culture, leaving little research and attention to followership (Meindl). This focus on leadership has left a deficit in the development of

The Colosseum is an example of one of the first sports stadiums. It was built for the pure entertainment of the crowd. It has been around since 80AD and it could hold 60,000 people inside. The Colosseum has been able to withstand the forces of nature and the forces of humans such as thieves and vandals and has lasted over thousands of years. This proves that the Colosseum is a wonder that will last for many years to come which means many generations will be able to enjoy it, thus I believe it should be one of the 7 wonders.

Effective followership is an essential component of effective leadership in that, without good followers, the leader’s work is difficult and cumbersome. The role of the follower is many times understated. As illustrated by Kelley (1998), “effective followers are thinkers; energetic and assertive, self-starters, independent problem solvers, and carry out their tasks with these characteristics (p. 143). Effective followers also are characterized by their ability to perform tasks with little supervision, their intelligence, and ability to think for themselves. We are all followers, even those who consider themselves leaders; so to encourage this effectiveness in others; we must be role models for those under us, so that they may also be effective at following. Chaleff (2009) observed that “all important social accomplishments require complex

Leadership is about the interaction between the leader, the followers and the situation (Hughes, Ginnett and Curphy (2015, p. 15-26). If a given situation changes, the interaction between the leaders and followers can change dramatically. The leaders who understand well this interaction have a huge advantage because leaders are able to:
