The book, Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box, written by Arbinger Institute, bestows the story of Tom Callum, the newest Senior Manager of a big company named Zagrum who suffered from self-deception and did not even know about it. All newest Senior Manager had to pass through a meeting with Bud Jefferson, the executive vice president of the company. So, in the first day that Tom presented himself to start working, Bud told Tom that he was experiencing self-deception. Tom was surprised to hear that and wanted to know how that was possible. The whole explanation took two days. During the first day, Bud made Tom think about problem that he had to face previously and people he knew was problematic. The whole purpose was to make Tom understand that those people who were an obstacle to their company were so inside of a box and could not even see that they were problematic.

Flannery O'Connor wrote two stories, one being titled “Good Country People” and the other being named “The Life You Save May Be Your Own”. Both of these stories featured a crooked man and a complex family. They also shared the potential for the mothers of the families to not have treated their children very well, and their children could be a direct effect of that. The interactions between the characters in these stories and their confusing family dynamics definitely add more depth and allow the reader to gain a deeper view into their lives.

A 2 B Weaknesses in Personal Leadership Practice Lack of Authority: my first weakness of Servant leader is the lack of authority, When the employee sees me catering for their needs extremely, they no longer see me as an authoritative fire. It's my responsibility to push them for a better performance but some of them are using this to minimize my authority as a leader. I see my self losing my sense of authority and stepping back into my role as their manager is always difficult when I rendered some kind of assistance to them. I found it difficult to detach from employee whenever there is a task assigned to them and this is making me to combine their own responsibilities with mine resulting to overworking myself.

As I reflect back on my Air Force career, especially my current duty position as the Section Chief of the Small Air Terminal at Hill Air Force Base. I realized that I am a Management by Exception-Active (MBE-A) this came to me after I reviewed my Electronic Self-Assessment of Leadership behavior.

These concepts are avoiding conflict, cognitive flexibility, communication, subordinate-centered communication and mediation.

Jared, I enjoyed reading you post and ;earning about your military experience. You mentioned your experience with narcissistic leaders as well as respectable and immoral leaders. I would be interested in the differences between female and male leaders in the military. Kinicki, A., & Fugate, M., (2016) emphasized that research has found that “women used a more democratic or participatory style than men, and men used a more autocratic and directive style than women” (Kinicki, A., & Fugate, M., 2016, p. 445). As higher rank officers automatically have to be respected and followed. I wondered if women in the military automatically get the same respect. I would also be interested to see if the women in the military practice narcissistic leadership styles.

My leadership philosophy is all about people, to elaborate on this principle I believe that Soldiers are the Army’s most precious assets as a fighting force.
