Desire, determination, effectiveness, passion, management skills, being able to inspire, positive attitude, knowing who you are, what to do or not; these are all characteristics of a leader . “Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.” (Concept of Leadership, 2010). In this 21st century world we are living in and with all the complex changes happening and the many ways businesses are being conducted and operated, leadership skills are definitely needed but are becoming more and more challenging to obtain because leadership is a process which is put in place in order to influence a group

Leadership in the military is the characterization of a complex mix of organizational, situational, and mission demands on a leader who applies or uses personal qualities, attributes, and experi-ences to exert influence on the organization, its people, situations or missions . Challenging and complex situations are a proving ground for leaders to making efficient, timely and reasonable decisions . An Army requires leadership to make choices and establish a unifying direction for the organization . As the incoming BDE CDR, taken over from Col Michael Lanks, I must ana-lyze the situation at the 4th ABCT. The aim of this analysis is to address the challenge of poor communication and lack of cooperation in the 4th ABCT Unit.

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

Leadership as stated by Northhouse (2010), “is a process where an individual influences a group of people to achieve a common purpose.” A leader is responsible for coordination and integration of resources through planning, organizing, coordinating, directing, and controlling to accomplish specific institutional goals and objectives (Huber, 2006). A leader’s action is influenced towards manipulating the environment, group, and achieving the institutional goals and their role is to ensure the institutional effectiveness and efficiency. Organizational culture however, is the shared values, beliefs, assumptions, and behavioral expectations that lead to decision-making (Christensen, 2006). According to Schneider (1975) as cited by Holloway (2012), Organizational climate is the formal and informal shared perceptions of organizational policies, procedures, and practices. Atkinson and Frechette (2009) further defines organizational climate as “set of measurable properties of the work environment, based on the collective perceptions of the people who work in the environment and demonstrated to influence their motivation and behavior”. Climate in CDSDP organization creates a collective unique identity, perception of the staffs that generates how task (things are done) and how to get the task done within the organization as influenced by the clear communication seen from the leaders to staffs.

There could also be conflicts with outside organizations such as unions of any represented employ-ees that may be working for the state agency. Many states are seeing cuts in its workforce and this also potentially could reduce the number of represented employees that can be members of a union. This type of cuts will also gain the attention of the media and many workers may feel compelled to share their stories which could make the governor look bad in public.

In this essay, I will argue the way in which practices of leadership contribute to managing innovation, change and rationality in the post-bureaucratic era. More specifically, I will delve into the issue of women in leadership roles and how their prevalence has evolved throughout the post-bureaucratic era. In order to understand exactly how the practices of leadership have contributed to managing innovation, change and rationality, we must first understand what leadership is. According to Clegg, Kornberger and Pitsis (2012), leadership is defined as the process of directing, controlling, motivating and inspiring employees to common organisational goals. This definition however, underemphasises the complexity of leadership and the ways in which

Persons in leadership positions of any business type are subject to make important decisions. These decisions not only affect the business itself, but also the employees and customers of that business. In order to present these resolutions to everyone, it must be done so in an effective manner. Effective communication from leadership is an integral part of any business. This communication may be composed of both verbal and non-verbal forms, and without the two-way communication, between the leadership and the followership, the business or organization may fail.

Leadership is a great quality and every group be it a group of 3 people, organization, family, a company, or a country needs able and good leaders.

J. Thomas Wren incorporates many different philosophers’ views in order to demonstrate that leaders differed greatly in the

It is often said that a manager is what one does and leader is who one is. This is especially the case during times of turbulent economic, social and political change. In the debate of whether the effectiveness of a leader's communication skills is dependent on their age or generation, one must take into account one of the most critical skills in any leaders' skill set, and that is emotional intelligence (EI) (Avolio, Yammarino, 2002). Great leadership is timeless as it is predicated on respect and motivation of subordinates and peers and subordinates, along with a very clear focus on results attained through shared vision. It is the intent of this analysis to show that transformational leadership is timeliness because it is predicated on principles applicable to each generation. The impact of technology on leadership is to accelerate transparency and trust across entire organizations when transformational leaders are driving progress to shared goals and objectives (Bernoff, Li, 2008). Technology will amplify excellent leadership and shine a very bright light on mediocre and inferior leadership over time (Gilley, Dixon, Gilley, 2008).

Leadership and communication go hand in hand. A successful organization has leaders who know how to communicate. Communication is a vital tool that all leaders have in their tool belt. Communications is key to any organizations. The most successful leaders have developed their communication skills. There are various methods of communications available to a leader and the challenges that are placed on a leader. There are numerous barriers a leader faces in communicating to the various groups in an organization. A successful leader has strong communication skills and can provide the correct information to drive the organization. Communication is defined as “the sharing of information between two or more people to achieve a common understanding about an object or situation” (Hitt, Miller, & Colella, 2011, p. 330). “For a successful manager, communication is an instrument and, at the same time, a state of mind. Studies demonstrate the fact that a successful manager spends about 75-95% of the time talking, listening, writing and citing, thus communicating” (Emanoil, Ramona, & Lucia, 2013, p.75). Good leaders have learned without effective communication throughout the organization, the organization will fail. There are numerous methods to communicate and leaders need to learn to be effective in all methods. Leaders need to understand the communication process, the forms of communications, and use of communication in order to guide the organization to

Each community leaders are loads of different meanings to their own culture and leadership perspective. One according to community leaders; to be a holy person, and absolute obedience individuals. These individuals according to another community; be responsible and criticizing possible-only is a person. Leaders of institutions and leadership in their communities glance affinity with the approach of cultures, signal the inevitability of a process of interaction between the organization and leadership.
