Intellectual Leadership

Leadership can be defined as the process of identifying a goal, motivating others, and make them to achieve the mutually goals (Giltinane, 2013). According to Humphreys (2002), successful leaders do this by applying their leadership knowledge and skills. A good leadership is not only good at management, but also use different leadership styles in different situations. A successful corporation must has a good leader who have the flexible ability which can provide a suitable leadership to make the company successful. Furthermore, there have no perfect leadership styles in the world. Different leader have different leadership styles which also have the different strengths and weaknesses (Ali & Waqar, 2013). Leaders need to consider

Leadership style is a combination of the natural qualities and manner in which a person carries out their role as a manager, along with the way they have consciously decided to perform this role. Leadership can be described as the balance between the supporting and directing team members. The key to success is knowing how to use management skills to best effect with individuals.

Leadership can be defined in many different ways. Some people are saying that leadership is “the behavior of the individual…”(Hemphill & Coons, 1957, p. 7), some others may describe it as “the influential increment over and above mechanical compliance with the routine directives of the organization” (Katz & Kahn, 1978, p. 528). I have to admit that I completely agree that every one of them but I personally believe that that the leadership is “the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organization...” (House et al., 1999, p. 184). As I mention in my first paper that good leaders care not only about their personal best, they always want to get the best out

The first way I would improve the peers in my unit on the leadership trait initiative is for one holding classes on reiterating the leadership traits as well as the definition. The definition for initiative is “the ability to assess and initiate things independently” as well as “the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do” (Google, 2016). Make sure everyone understands not only the other thirteen traits, but as well as truly understand them all. Even though the main focus will be on initiative because if Marines didn’t have initiative then nothing would have ever got done throughout history and we would possible cease to exist. I would go into historical examples such as for Sergeant Dakota Meyer when he was a Corporal

As people around the world progress more and more they begin to question the capability and qualification of their leaders, whether it be the President of The United States or the governor of a local county. The question of what makes them an educated leader, whether it be their qualities or credentials, has been asked for years but what makes them what they are in the new twenty-first century. There are many things that can make or break whether people believe them to be capable of the job that they hold onto at that moment and this sort of opinion can change as quickly as night turns to day. Three questions that can be answered in accordance are who determines the qualities of an educated leader, to whom do we look to guidance in evaluating an educated leader, and what sort of qualification and qualities does and educated leader possess?

Authentic leadership is really become an interesting one in the past 5 years to 10 years because it is the leadership that people can trust. One of the big values that people want in their leaders is that they are in fact who they say they are and true to themselves and how they present themselves. Researchers have focused on substantially as well. It comes from the awareness we have of selves and awareness of values. He has explained this by giving a real time example where if someone experiences cancer, it will have impact on how we are making meaning and purpose and when it is presented clearly to others, then it is called authenticity that explains the authentic leadership.

This study seeks to determine whether a relationship exists between leadership behaviors and level of cognitive moral development in educational leaders. The study proposes a description of leadership behaviors that uses the hybrid understanding of these behaviors proposed by Vann, Coleman, and Simpson (2014). In describing moral cognitive development, the study uses a schema theory heavily influenced by Lawrence Kohlberg (1971) but primarily developed by James Rest (Rest, Narvaez, Bebeau & Thoma, 1999). The study further proposes that a correlation between measures of leadership behaviors and of cognitive moral reasoning may reveal that levels of cognitive moral reasoning result in particular leadership behaviors.

Be, Know and Do, these three words are known by all NCOs in the Army, they represent the characteristics of an effective leader. From these three words also come the three leader`s attribute of character, present and intellect. As a leader I possess all three but intellect is my strongest attribute. A leader with intellectual capacity possess mental agility, sound judgement, innovation, interpersonal tact and domain knowledge according to the Leadership Requirements Model in ADP 6-22. All these 5 categories make the conceptual components of a leader`s intellect. As a leader in today`s Army I use the conceptual components every day to lead my Soldier and solve problems to accomplish my mission.

1.) The concept that I have acquired and would like to discuss is the next generation of leaders. Times are changing for many organizations including a diverse population and a true global mindset. With these changes taking place there is a need for a new generation of leaders. A new order is in store and that brings about different approaches to leadership for many organizations. Women now hold a large percentage of leadership positions within organizations. This change provides diversity and a different approach to leadership than in the past. According to Senge, women tend to focus on longer term issues such as sustainability which is a total different systems thinking approach than men. The next generation of leadership will not have

An analysis of research on educational leadership acknowledges the importance of the principal in the elementary and secondary school setting. As a leader, the principal’s role has developed from one of a managerial position to one of an instructional leader who also manages. Cheney and Davis (2011) note that “The old job of principal as administrative building manager is no longer sufficient to dramatically improve student achievement. The job has evolved into a highly complex and demanding position that requires strong instructional and leadership skills” (para. 5). Northouse (2013) states that “to manage means to accomplish activities and master routines, whereas to lead means to influence others and create visions for change” (p. 13).

Through time the concept and interpretation of leadership has gone through many changes as will be seen in this paper. These changes have been ever-improving on the last one but also changing in the requirements of the leader and of the situation of the day. The problem today is that companies are finding it difficult to look for a single source of advice when it comes to the guidance and education for their middle managers in order to try and pinpoint the potential top leader amongst them. This is the nature of leadership however, but through research and a collection of aspects one can start to narrow that search so as to find the qualities that are needed in leadership in our modern society. They may be varied and numerous but they are nonetheless collectible into one all-encompassing leadership model.

Leadership is an important aspect of management sciences. Over the past century, many theories have been developed to provide managers with the tools required to effectively lead their subordinates. From a simplistic theory cataloguing individual traits and characteristics, leadership has become a complex science shaped by many forces (ex: behavioural sciences, organizational culture, strategic management trends etc.) (Avolio, Walumba and Weber, 2009).

A leader is defined as a person with responsibility to influence one or more followers and directing them to achieve a set objective (Sethuraman, 2014). In order to achieve that set of objectives effortlessly, effectively, and efficiently, the most important and valued trait of a leader is an effective leadership styles. Effective leadership styles are required in every organization at every level to be successful. The success or failure of an organization depends on the quality of leadership particularly on the part of top management. An effective leadership style can be developed on the basis of understanding of the situations (Sethuraman, 2014). Top management should know which leadership style is needed based on the situation to be most effective to gain trust and respect from their employee. There is no single method of influencing the behavior of employees for every situation. The employee’s level of knowledge on the task and can determine which leadership style that will be most effective for the situation. Preparing leaders to lead

Day today management is clearly defined by F.W. Taylor, Henry Fayol, Ma Weber, and others in classical management. No organisation can just have one type of management all through the organisation like operation can be scientific management and task oriented leadership. Marketing can be administrative and with action centred leadership. The overall leadership should be the same has the ethos of the organisation overall. . Current theories and models of leadership explain the influence of position upon the satisfaction and performance
