Planet Fitness and YMCA are one of the two biggest fitness gyms in the nation today; a merger of these two companies can create a gym powerhouse. The merger of these two groups can also create conflict because of the two groups’ different ideas and views on certain areas of their business. To keep the peace between the two groups we must be willing to work together and share ideas and communicate with each other. Team development may sound easy, but conflict always arises somewhere within the planning. To deal with these, we must listen to all concerns and comments and we must make a plan that everyone is apart of and that everyone will agree upon. We want the merger of these two companies to be a better version of Planet Fitness and YMCA.

A leader can help the staffing ratio issue by creating a vision. With this vision, they are able to create a plan that incorporates new ideas to find solutions. Leaders are risk takers and like to challenge others to formulate ways of doing things better. Leaders like to build relationships and promote those around them and help them develop so they as well as the company can grow. (Coonan 2007) Since leaders are not always in manager roles, they often are the ones who are working at the bedside and can help staffing ratios because they can base them on the individual needs while taking into account the training and experience of the nurse taking care of those patients. They are trying to look out for the best solution for everyone involved. Leaders act as guides to those around them rather than try and control others. Leaders are the ones who stand up for others. These kinds of leaders are able to inspire and motivate people to achieve solutions to problems.

This Leadership Theory and Practice class was not at all what I expected it to be, which is great. I had heard of other people who had taken this class previously with different professors and how all they did was write papers and honestly, hardly learned anything about leadership. This class thankfully had an easy work load which helped with my senioritus, but still challenged me to think about different leadership styles, concepts, and what it truly means to be a leader. I was able to hear the views of many other people especially those who were also in the class, but also from the different people we had interviewed for the assignment we had to present on. I learned a lot about leadership and I learned a lot about myself in a leadership

In today’s business world employees, industries, and consumers look toward company leaders like Steve Jobs (Former Apple CEO), Anne Mulcahy (Former Xerox CEO), Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO), Elon Musk (Former PayPal CEO), and Eric Schmidt (Goggle CEO) to understand the dynamic roles of leadership and management. These two allusive terms have inspired a great deal of conversation, articles, and books full of material about their true meanings. These two words have also inspired the academic world to create core and major courses in an effort to help future managers and leaders plan, organize, and lead. But what does Leadership or Management really mean and are the terms related?

Sawyer speaks a lot of truth in this paragraph about how collaboration is what makes all of the amazing innovative teams spark new ideas. Groups should not be self-centered but they need to be empowered by the whole and not its parts. As

Realizing that a group can become a high performance team is important. Accomplishing this goal is invaluable, advantageous and profitable. Once able to operate from a group to the high performing team is a great step into preparation into the big business world. Leaders and members must also realize not only how to accomplish this but that some problems will and can arise from different demographic characteristics and cultural diversity. That is if one is in such a group, which the probability would be quite high.

a) Though the two terms seem similar on the surface, in reality they are quite different. A great manager does not necessarily make a great leader, and a great leader does not necessarily make a great manager. Management controls or directs people/resources in a group according to principles or values that have already been established. Leadership is setting a new direction or vision for a group that they follow, i.e.: a leader is the spearhead for that new direction. The manager uses a formal, rational method whilst the leader uses passion and stirs emotions.

Schultz (2011) writes favorable outcomes result from shared collective leadership as a result of mutual inspiration between leaders and followers. This change in mindset from a focus on an individual leader to an emphasis on leadership affords organizations an atmosphere of shared accountability and distributed workload (Schultz, 2011). Other benefits of shared leadership include a team environment, intrinsically motivated staff, decreased job related stress and resultant absenteeism, and retention of knowledgeable members (Hlupic, 2016). Ironically, by giving away control in a shared leadership situation, a leader actually garners greater power and enjoys the profits of increased worker productivity (Hlupic, 2016).
