Leadership As The Foundation For Any Successful Economy

The World Book Dictionary, Volume Two L-Z, 1980 edition, defines leadership as the condition of being a leader; the ability to lead; and guidance or direction. According to Nathan F. Iannone, author of many books on leadership, it can be defined as the art of influencing, directing, guiding, and controlling others in such a way as to obtain their willing obedience, confidence, respect and loyal cooperation in accomplishment of an objective. Leadership is a trait that is extremely valuable in any society. Leadership is known as a relational process of people attempting to make a difference in a situation. Because of this and the moral and social influence leaders have in our lives, it is very important to know more about it. Leaders must create the environment within which they and their group can succeed. They do this by sharing common values and goals, providing the resources necessary for goal attainment, and empowering their people to do the job. John Gardner tells us in his book On Leadership, "a leader must recognize the needs of the individuals, help the individuals see how those needs can be met, and give the group confidence that they can accomplish that result through their own efforts.  A leader draws the best out of people, encouraging them to put forth their best effort rather than forcing them to do something. In my opinion the four strengths needed for a leadership potion are: planning, management, decision making, and encouragement.

Over the course of this semester, I have learned about the theoretical foundation of leadership and management. From various leadership styles to numerous learning tools have all aided in shaping me to become an effective leader not only in the health care profession, but everyday life as well. Through utilizing these tools, I have managed to put them into actions through working individually and in teams which has helped me to learn more about myself and the type of leader I am. Throughout this action plan I will reflect on my definition of leadership, what I’ve learned about myself in the capacity to demonstrate leadership, my leadership strengths and weaknesses and three action steps that will help me to develop my leadership in the future.

Defining leadership and the qualities associated with leading is a frequently debated topic, with many theorists focusing on different areas that they consider are the most important or relevant to leadership. Leadership is an inherent requirement of all members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF). Furthermore, the development of leadership abilities is an individual journey; however, to better enhance this journey the basic leadership principles and behaviours need to be considered. Over the past the two years while studying at the Australian Defence Force Academy I have been able to reflect on my own leadership style and skills more than ever before. Having attended numerous leadership courses as part of my journey through the ranks there has only been limited time and opportunity for self-reflection. This reflective paper will outline some of the key concepts of leadership taught during the semester and how they have and do relate to my leadership skills and traits.

My philosophy is based off of my experience and upbringing. I care about what I’ve been through and where I am from. I care about your experiences and where you are from. The hope is, that despite the differences, we can come together and complete the mission. And that is ultimately what is important – the mission. Everything will come back to this and I will ask, “How does it affect the mission?” I believe that relationships are key to the job that we do as Soldiers. We take care of the Soldiers below us and above us. We need others to help us to accomplish the mission. Very rarely can we accomplish a task without the help of others. I challenge you to nurture those relationships. Look for ways to develop

Often times when you hear the word “leader” a variety of images come to mind. Maybe you picture an explorer cutting a path through a jungle, or a politician giving a speech to thousands of individuals. Many of us do not realize the leader inside of us until required to step up to the position.

Engaging with a system in order to transform it requires two steps, how the system is being interpreted and the implementation of an intervention. By enacting these tools the status quo of the organization is being challenged because of the vision that is had for the organization through adaptive leadership. Acknowledging what is true and what else is possible are the starting questions to take on this transformation. In order to push an organization/situation further than just fixing a problem by looking at it through solution driven thinking, does not maintain an environment for needs to be met. By putting vulnerabilities, beliefs, values and needs on the table, people have something to lose and when this intersects with a want for

Subject selections for year 11, chemistry, human bio, physics, literature, apps and religion. Yep, i didn’t list art. To be completely honest, I thought that I would drop art after year 10. So thats why I cant even begin to believe that I’m here today and even that i applied for this position. In year 10, I was pretty certain that if I dropped art I would have more time for other subjects due to the immense work load that art requires. However, I told my mum my plan, and she ran, right to Mrs flora and dobbed on me. I was then basically forced to do art. HOWEVER thanks to Mrs Flora and my mum I have had the best time. I have no clue what I was thinking, i cant even walk straight let alone learn PHYSICS so I'm pretty happy with the choice.

Successful leadership can be stripped down to a few simple, yet effective, roles that can make or break any supervisor or organization; and that is communication and teamwork. These activities seem so menial but even the most educated or experienced could lack the ability to use these correctly. In any field of work, lack of communication could be detrimental to the success you are striving for. For healthcare, you have to think about the patient as well. Lack of communicating from provider to patient or between the multidisciplinary team could bring harm the patients well being. As was stated in our literature “ [communication] is a common personal barrier in healthcare organizations and has the tendency to either evaluate the sender of the message as not important or down played” The ability to clearly communicate valid information to your team is needed for an organization to function. "Without teamwork, communication and sharing of information is limited, which leads to generally poor outcomes.” (Preston). The supervisor has many other roles such as organizing, staffing, planning, answer and ask questions, to ward off resistance, and ultimately to achieve the institution 's goals. However, none of which could not run effectively without clear communication, teamwork and a positive response from their staff. The perspective the staff takes on how they feel the supervisor comes off is going to aide in the effectiveness of the information is received.

he had many outstanding qualities that a leader requires. Even before he was in power he had the motivation and qualities to become a leader.

I hardly remember what my life was like before all of this started. In all honesty it’s possible there wasn’t a life for me before this.

My leadership philosophy has changed throughout the years. I believe that leadership is not just about leading or being a “boss” (having a title). Leadership is about knowing when to lead and when to follow as well as being able to listen to others and their opinions or different points of view. Being able to look at situations and things in different ways is an important factor because having an open mind will help make a difference and solve problems in many ways. It will also allow leaders to acknowledge all the members and their different ways of contributing their inputs. Leadership is executed in different ways and has a different meaning to different people, but as of now I consider myself a servant leader. I believe that leadership

As a result of this intensive session, I now have a clearer understanding of how and why my spiritual autobiography and my church context intersect in the formulation of a topical thread for my ongoing research. Likewise, from the plenary, there were a plethora of themes covered during morning sessions pertaining to the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 13, and the “Parable of the Sower.” These sessions were about growth and maturity, and had a direct connection to the adaptive challenges within my church. As leaders we must be careful not to fall into “thorn” like activity; such as being caught up in comparing one church to another, material wealth, internal politics &

To be an effective leader, means to impact and organized group with their activities of goal setting and reaching success or by giving influence in a situation to accomplish a single goal or multiple goals.

The ability to be able to convince people to do what you want is to have the power of influence (Liu, 2010). There are values that makes a person who they are, just as there are qualities that makes an effective leader such as, visionary mission, decisive decision making, mutual rewards, effective communication, and power of influence.

Leadership is one of the most important aspects in society today. The decisions that leaders make can affect one’s life dramatically or not at all, in any case; leaders can be found everywhere.

The president of the United States, a school principal, a team captain or a mother and father can be classified as leader. All of these people receive a common responsibility to take control of a mission, leading a nation, teaching a student, taking charge of the court, or raising a child all affect the lives of the individuals they reach.
