Leadership As Stated By Northhouse ( 2010 )

Organizational climate is the feeling of the overall organization. Glisson (2015) refers to leadership as meeting the need of its members play a huge role in the climate. The leadership behavior determines all staff and the culture of the organization. Also, the organizational climate plays a role in relationships among staff. If the leaders within the organization have discord than it will reflect in all staff (Hemmelgarn, 2006). Task oriented jobs play role in both retention and how one feel regarding the organization. If the climate of the organization is not designed to allow the DCW to be involved in the decision making process of patient care, it will decrease motivation, job satisfaction, and increase retention (Riggs & Rantz, 2001).

StrengthsFinder 2.0, written by Tom Rath, was a book I chose for a purpose. Rath mentions that when we live within our shortcomings/ our weaknesses, we tend to live in this world unhappy and unmotivated (Rath, 2007). In this paper, I will discuss some background and major topics presented in his book. I will describe how his topics can be useful in nursing practice, as well as my own practice. I will end this paper with a look into how his book helped me to grow in my own soon-to-be leadership role.

“Leadership next” is an excellent book which has summarized most of the common challenges that we face in today’s ministry. I enjoy this book very much when I was reading it. Though there are many information and data in the book, yet I can relate very well to most of the issues that he has discussed, and I wish that my church elders and intern have the opportunity to read this book as well. One of the challenges we face in our church is the generation and culture diversity. I find it encouraging as Gibbs also sees that the coexistence of the multiple generations as a blessing not a curse.

My leadership philosophy is constantly developing over time. There is not one leader that stands out individually, however there are many traits from my past leaders that I use. The traits used by my past leaders help me in the development of my philosophy throughout the years. There are several values that I think make the perfect leader. These attributes are the values of humor, the will to always improve, and trust. With these three values, one can always improve the organization while maintaining high standards and moral.

This paper is a briefing document that proposes a logical philosophical, hypothetical cover on leadership, assessing the ways the theory and practice connected into a synergistic shape, by evaluating structures of leadership. I will endeavour to illuminate, by examination, the significance of thoughts and ideas around leadership; I will give an individual reflection towards the end of this paper on the collaborative effort and an individual personal

The article was about leadership and motivation in the organization. How to measure organizational climate and the effect it has on the company. Organizational climate is the way a employee relates to there manager or leader. The relationship that the two share whether its good or bad and how it effects the labor of the employee. The environment that the organization operates in and how the employees adapt to it. Good leaders should focus on motivating their employees. High performance climate is measured by a employee doing what ever it takes to achieve there goals in the organization. Low performance climate is measured when employees are not achieving there goals and not always completing their daily task. The better the leadership is in an organization will tell show in the labor that is produce from its employee. Good leadership in a organization makes the work environment a better place for every one in the organization and will help produce good labor.

Rufus thank you for your post; it was enlightening to read. As you mentioned, Ricketson's one way to change church culture from power and control cultures to role and responsibility cultures, which is by consistently teaching a biblical organizational perspective, deem sound basically due to its approach. It is my belief that a Bible based approach always proves most beneficial. Thank you, for your added study and additional research that stated, the church and its leadership, as a whole must be under the auspices of Jesus Christ. In addition, I for one agree totally, in that Jesus Christ was the model leader for all. Also, I concur with your judgment that stated, in a church persons who are to follow the leadership of Christ, the Head of the church, performs biblical leadership, which enables leaders and others to discern the way the means of the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Northhouse (2015p. 123) has identified three categories of leadership including “administration skills, interpersonal skills, and conceptual skills.” The ability to be an effective supervisor is dependent on one’s ability to utilize both the relational and interpersonal skills. The supervisor’s role in the Phoenix House is multidimensional and requires both managerial and leadership skills to be successful. The senior social worker manages the work of four social employees and two interns from the university and implements weekly staff meetings as the primary form of communication. Within these meetings, the concerns and procedures are being addressed, by the social worker.

(Democracy) The United States proud name is rooted on freedom. Even though voters can set trends it does not guarantee a great leaders will be produced on a consistent basis, as each leader is faced with different challenges and struggles during their term such as war, depression, foreign relations,

The most significant major leadership behavior in leading others is task motivated. Fred Fiedler uses the least-preferred coworker (LPG) scale to determine what motivates the leader. The task that comes easier to me is relationship-motivated (high LPC). This is the motivation that is a distraction from doing the task at hand. This naturally, would be the choice that is preferred because it presents opposition to meeting the company objectives. The high (LPC) has many reasons that relationship-motivated people find most appealing.

Northouse (2012) suggests that authentic leadership’s roots originate with transformational leadership; “It was identified earlier in transformational leadership research but never fully articulated” (p. 253). With authentic leadership being one of the theories which most influenced me, I thought it important to talk about this theory and learn how authentic leadership sprouted from this earlier system. As stated by Northouse (2012), the transformational leadership theory originated in 1973 by Downton (p. 185). “As its name implies, transformational leadership is a process that changes and transforms people” (Northouse, 2012, p. 185). This style of leadership is similar to authentic leadership in that they both relate to creating connection with their followers. In addition, as remarked by Northouse (2012), “Transformational leadership is concerned with improving the performance of followers and developing followers to their fullest potential (Avolio, 1999;

The stresses that we as leaders encounter daily tend to become a problem across all organizations and the leaders of today find themselves facing many challenges such as coaxing people at all levels. For anyone that has led, you know the main part of leadership does not begin at the top, it stems from the middle level leaders. In the book “The360-degree Leader”, authored by John C. Maxwell, he outlines philosophies a leader can implement in an effort to increase significance and empower on all levels of the organization. A leader that follows the 360 model, leading up, leading across, and leading down should be able to apply its principles, in order to be successful. From my experiences, I feel that most supervisors have a feeling that because they are not as high on the management ladder, they are not in a spot to influence their manager, peers, and employees. Following the model allows leaders to use the three different philosophies described by Maxwell, to more effective and efficiently influence others and become an all-around 360-degree leader (Maxwell, 2005).
