Leadership : A Leader From A Great One

There have been many great leaders down through history. Leaders that have influenced change throughout many aspects of society. Great leaders have great influence. The effectiveness of a leader is determined by his leadership style. With so many styles to choose from, and the fact that not one style fits all situations, becoming an effective leader is a challenging task. One reflective note is that it is important to cultivate good leadership skills. One must evaluate personal strengths and weaknesses and consider making changes as the situation demands a different leadership style. (Origitano, 2015)

Becoming a leader is every challenging and complex task to accomplish. Many of us hope to become great leaders that will be loved by their employees and colleagues. However, after reading the first nine chapters of the book, I realized the challenges ahead of me that I have to overcome in order to become a good leader and a good healthcare administrator. When I first started doing the healthcare executive competency assessment tool, I did not realize the impact it’ll have or the benefit of it. At first I was skeptical of it, however, after completing the task I realized how much gap and areas of growth that I needed to work on in order to become a great leader. I also came to a conclusion that in order to become a good leader it takes more

Leadership is taking charge and leading the pack in a good way. It does not mean boss everyone around and be rude, it means to give good advice and be kind .It's not just leading others but also leading yourself most importantly.Another big role in leadership is respect, if you can't respect others than how do you respect yourself.

I was a little nervous to ask my friends, family and co-workers about my leadership

Leadership has had some changes since 1980. The Truth About Leadership by James Kouzes and Barry Posner describes some of the changes workers and leaders have faced over time. Generational changes, increased marketplace and diversity. Leaders can be anyone that has had an impact on our lives that we look up to and want to model ourselves after. The leader I choose was President Ronald Reagan. Reagan penned his memoirs in 1990.

To build a successful organization, there needs to be a variety of people playing different roles in order for things to run smoothly.

Leadership, as an intangible and conceptual figment, has no real methodology as to how to become a leader. There is no possession to own or geographical location to which, if one is present, they become suddenly available to the beckoning call of becoming a leader. Just as with currency, there is no intrinsic value in being a leader, except for the value that we ascribe to it, therefore deeming it a sought after trait. So how does one learn to become a leader? I would submit that we learn through stories. As far as I know, there has never been, and will likely never be a process to follow that “creates” leaders — but we do have the methods and disciplines and practices of others who have gone before us to guide us on our journey.

The world of healthcare, its delivery and services are forever evolving; and in the interim so is its infrastructure and workforce capacity (Klienman, 2003). Healthcare executives must be equipped with the proper skills in order to be effective leaders in the field. Dye and Garman (2006) highlight various critical competencies all healthcare executives should harness in order to be influential leaders in their present or future leadership role. Some competences may come natural to individuals, while others have to be developed and strengthened over time. Leaders are faced with challenges such as ethical dilemmas, budgetary cuts and organizational restructuring. Furthermore they are also responsible for sustaining employee morale, being a visionary and a role model within their respective agencies. However, the key to their success in being an effective leader is based upon a foundation of the ability to influence and an understanding of their ethical approach to decision-making (Grenny, Patterson, Maxfield, McMillan & Switzler, 2013).

Great spiritual leaders are needed in the church, the secular world, and in all areas of society. The book is introduced by talking about humility. It explains how a person that is pursuing to become a great spiritual leader is actually freed from the idolatry of self-centeredness. They no longer have to seek position and power, but they are released to pursue greatness like Jesus exampled in humility, effectiveness, and service. Great leaders are concerned about others and leave them in a better state than when they found them. Great spiritual leaders need to learn and develop into the men or women the Lord intended them to become.

In the article What Makes a Leader? (Goleman, 1998) the author and researcher seeks to find the causality and connection between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and financial performance in organizations in addition to defining the concept of EI thoroughly from a pragmatic vantage point. The intent of this analysis is to define the key lessons learned from this excellent article.

The study of leadership and the actions it entails can be dated back as far as 2300 B.C (Bass and Stodill, 1990), however in the modern day the study has evolved greatly, with theories and writers inputting their views and constantly updating and changing the definitions of what they believe leadership to be.

Leadership is the process by which individuals have demonstrated the ability to enlist, direct, guides, and influences the work of others in attaining specific goals. The leader is considered the nucleus of groups power structure which helps to strengthen the group, empowers individuals and thus moves the group towards its goals and maintains its momentum. Therefore, leader’s posse’s the ability to shape, regulate, control and change the behavior, attitudes, and performance of the group which sets the stage for teamwork and attributes to reaching goals. In this paper I have chosen to interview Ms. Brenda L. Myrick, MPA, MSW. Ms. Myrick is an authentic leader and meets people where they are. Meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs on a micro, mezzo, and macro level. She believes an effective leader must first, “know who you are, self-awareness, understand, accept, and appreciate your own strengths, weaknesses and accept your purpose or calling in life” (Brenda Myrick 11/07/2016). Once you know who you are then you understand how important it is to do the right thing in tough situations. She admits to not knowing everything but she’s humble enough to learn. Ms. Myrick states, “I’m not ashamed to say, I’m sorry, I don’t have the answer to that question at this time, but I will get back to you with the correct answer” (Brenda Myrick 11/07/2016). When a leader admits to not knowing everything and not insecure about not knowing everything they are considered strong,

What or who comes to mind when you think about leadership? What is leadership? Leadership is defined as the action of leading a group or an organization. Leadership is not just about leading; it is about being able to lead even with the greatest of adversaries throwing everything they can at you and still being able to succeed as a great leader. When I think about leadership only one man comes to mind, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth was an extremely important figure in the Christian religion, he is believed to be God himself in human form. He is also considered to be one of the greatest leaders in history even after his death. Jesus Christ was a great leader because of ability to speak to people, his ability to unite people in the darkest of times, and a great teacher as well as leader so that he could leave an incomparable legacy far beyond his death.

In the quest for effective leadership; having a shared vision and practicing strong communication skills among staff, administrators and faculty are critical components to a successful organization. Effective leadership begins with a vision, action and "buy-in" from all levels of the college. Leaders have struggled with what their vision of success is and can be for all involved. A convincing vision has the power to inspire, clarify and focus on the work of an entire organization. Often in a rush to get things done, we expect our colleagues to support our efforts without giving them a good reason why. Effective leadership also means communicating regularly and being a good listener who shares information with their organization and encourages open dialogue. (Use a citation here)
