Leadership Models

“Charismatic leaders act in unique ways that have specific charismatic effects on their followers” (Northouse, 2013, pg. 188). Charismatic leaders are strong role models for the beliefs and values they aspire their followers to adopt. They are identified to be dominant and have a strong desire to influence others. They also are self-confident and have a strong sense of one’s own moral values.

Nurses serve as an advocate for the advancement of the profession of nursing, whether the novice nurse or the advanced practice nurse. Sommerfeldt (2013) found that novice nurses when asked to describe nursing, responded with “care for clients” to be a common answer. This vague answer excludes the professional contribution of nurses and the roles advance practice nurses performs in team health care. The focus of this paper will address the barriers for autonomous advanced nursing practice and the use of interactive leadership style to advocate for legislative changes and promote the entry level degree Consensus Model (2010) for advanced practice nurses.

In this paper, we will review four leadership models: charismatic, servant, situational, and transformational. A separate discussion describing

Over the last twelve years, the Durango County Library (DCL) has had 6 directors, with 3 directors leading the library to excellence of service awards from the American Library Association (ALA) and the Public Library Association (PLA). These directors were so successful that they were able to move into director positions at larger library systems. However, 3 of the directors were eventually terminated for both poor and inappropriate behaviors. Therefore, what is needed is a way to increase the positive hires while decreasing the negative hires. Currently, the need for leadership is high within the DCL, since a director was just forced to resign. Previous hire processes have used unstructured interviews of one or two members of the library

Week one into this course has been a defining moment in my life. It sets the stage into life as a more consciously self-aware and emotionally intelligent being, and the awareness of others as equally emotional beings whether or not these others are self-aware or not. In it, the MBTI were taught to which I as at then, tentatively identify my preference as one that is inclined to Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling and Perceiving – (INFP).

Antonakis, J., Fenley, M., & Liechti, S. (2011). Can Charisma Be Taught? Tests of Two Interventions. Academy Of Management Learning & Education, 10(3), 374-396. Antonakis et al starts off research by posing a question. “Can leadership, and in particular charisma, be taught? The authors set out to prove in fact that training can training managers a specific set of charismatic leadership tactics not only improves their charisma, but their effectiveness as leaders. Charismatic leadership is defined as by Antonakis et al as being a sub element of transformational leadership. In the first study researchers assigned 34 middle managers from a Swiss company into two groups randomly. One group received training in charisma and the others received no training. The group receiving training were trained in principles on charismatic leadership. In the second study focused on 41 MBA students enrolled in a leadership course at a Swiss public university monitor charismatic leadership. The students were videotaped giving a 4 minute speech addressing problems within the company while also giving a plan of action to staff. After, speech was done, each participant received training in charismatic leadership and was asked to deliver the same speech 6 weeks later by videotape. Results reveal that improvement and effectiveness as a leader were made in both research groups. This study concluded that feedback is important to the growth and development of leaders and must be provided to

Many great leaders have one thing in common and that is charisma. Charismatic leaders are those that have the capability to inspire and encourage people to do more than they would normally do, despite obstacles and personal sacrifice. (Daft, R.L, pg. 364) Charisma is what provokes energy and commitment out of its followers. These leaders possess the power to motivate their followers to do almost anything. They create an atmosphere of change and express an ideal vision of a better future. The most common characteristics of the charismatic leader involve maturity, communication, humility, and inspiration. These unique qualities impact their followers and conduct themselves in such a way that allows for remarkable results. Then

Leadership is a collection process in which an individual uses to bring together and manage resources to achieve the specific aim; an effective leadership has a direct Impact on the followers in the right manner to achieve desired organization goals. Each leadership style has different effects on performance and effectiveness of the organization. Leaders come up with plans, look for resources and allocate those resources. Today, most people are writing and seeking to understand the practices and concepts of leadership. There are many reasons for the strong popularity of the topic which include groups, organizations and people who are faced with many changes than before. Understanding and navigating through the

Emiliani (2005) identified several different areas that were considered to be the main reasons why leadership transformation strategies are unsuccessful inside a number of firms. The most notable include: the use of old management systems, conflicting leadership behaviors, a lack of belief in the system, management turnover, layoffs, integration challenges, cost issues, time horizon differences, focus and supply chain management problems. The combination of these factors will cause employees and other managers to engage in similar patterns of destructive behavior that was embraced prior to these transformations. (Emiliani, 2005, pp. 370 387)

The model is intended as a practical tool for developing leaders’ leadership presence, knowhow and skill. It aims to summarize what leaders have to do, not only to bring leadership to their group or organization, but also to develop themselves technically and psychologically as leaders.

Leadership is considered to be a social process influence where an individual is able to enlist support and aid from other people all in trying to accomplish a shared or common task. There are different and numerous leadership theories. Some leadership theories are dependent on others (Kenny, 2003).

Researchers have proposed several characteristics of leaders described as ‘charismatic’. The widely accepted characteristics of charismatic leaders are (Bryman et al., 2011, p. 90-91):

Charismatic authority is often envied when its’ embodiment is seen in real life. Conley explains Max Weber's point of view that those who possess this type of authority are thought to do so naturally and with ease (Conley 577). Many spot this type of authority from a mile away, welcoming it into their lives. Whether this be at work, with a manager who you can help but admire and respect because of their ability to seem to work hard and lead gracefully, to the fellow student who leads a group project in a way that makes the team collaborative and causes the project itself to have a sense of ease to it. Conley points out that charismatic authority has its own place in politics, explaining that there are statistics that show “no amount of campaign money will help a candidate win an election if the electorate just doesn't like him or her” (578). Along with the previous ideas, it is important to know that charismatic authority is the most “difficult to maintain or pass on” (578). The reason for this is clear: while charisma can be learned, those who have it naturally will
