Heather Osaka has been appointed as the new director of Willow Pond; a troubled assisted living home where there has been a recent security problem when a man with a criminal record managed to go inside the facility disguised as a member of staff and managed to molest a lady sexually. After an investigation, Osaka found out more pressing issues that affected Willow Pond (Dubrin, 2013). The residents and families there have complained about poor food quality and being treated harshly when they request for special demands such as having a button sewn on. There have also

In this intriguing Wharton Leadership Digest interview, authors James Quigley and Mehrdad Baghai talk about eight archetypes of leadership from their new book, As One: Individual Action, Collective Power (Portfolio, 2011): • The landlord and tenants – Tenants voluntarily decide to join landlords, but once they do, the boss has the top-down power, controlling access to scarce resources, doling out rewards and sanctions, and dictating the terms of tenants’ participation. • The community organizer and volunteers – The power for setting direction comes from the bottom up, but the community organizer is the glue that holds things together. Volunteers can’t be ordered around; instead, they join on their own terms if

The transformational leader needs to direct people towards where they want to go and where they need to be in order to achieve the vision (Luzinski, 2011, p. 501). According to Luzinski (2011), success occurs when followers and leaders learn from each other, coming to a common understanding and establishing shared values, not because followers dutifully agree to listen (p. 502). Successful transformational leadership has four components: idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration.

“Transformational leaders use ideals, inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration to influence the behaviors and attitudes of others” (McGuire & Kennerly, 2006, P.180). The leader clarifies the responsibility and accountability of the staff, and identifies and agrees on responsibility. The leader also has continuous consultation and support of the staff. Continuous feedback and update is provided, ongoing evaluations and acknowledgments are given, and achievements are celebrated. The staff is protected

Transformational Leadership can be defined as a style of leadership in which the leader identifies the needed change, creates a vision to guide the change through influence and inspiration, and

Transformational leaders provide a sense of vision and mission, they have the capability to inspire through communication of high expectations, stimulate the use of intelligence for problem solving, and provide personal attention and coaching for followers. This type of leadership is concerned with emotions, values ethics, standards and long term goals (p.185). “Charismatic leaders act in unique ways that have specific charismatic effects on their followers”(p.188). Charismatic leaders are strong role models for the beliefs and values they want their followers to adopt.

The book The Heart of Change shows the practical side of the theories that are taught in the course textbook. It presents stories of successes and failures based in the application of concepts discussed in Organizational Behavior and Management and in class. Although we talked about several different concepts the ones that are evident in the examples in The Heart Of Change are the more progressive and individual centered approaches. The leadership characteristics that are important to successful change in an organization are those that are espoused in the transformational theory of management. It makes sense that ideals in line with the transformational management theory

Based on the results of the DISC Assessment, my results were inconclusive and an accurate result couldn’t be determined. This proves that as a leader, I try to please everyone and look for common grounds between differentiating groups that satisfy their expectations. This can be a disadvantage because acting as a “perfectionist” on most occasions can cause stress and lead to further problems in the future both mentally and physically. My behavioral tendencies tend to target

The followers willingly accepted him, trusted the mission/vision he had and were emotionally involved in the process of change within the organization. In addition, they were transparent, they communicated well with the team, they articulated goals and most importantly, they gained everyone’s trust. According to Northouse, “a transformational leader would be a manager who attempts to change his or her company’s corporate values to reflect a more humane standard of fairness and justice. In the process, both the manager and the followers may emerge with a stronger and higher set of moral values” (Northouse, 2016, p.162-163). A transformational

I grew up in a conservative family. My father has served in the Philippine military and the Philippine government most of his life, and my mother was a dedicated nurse midwife and professor at a university hospital. Serving and caring for people has become second nature to my family. My father was strict and a disciplinarian; he did not allow my family to be out of the house after 6:00 p.m. He believed that it was important to have every member of the family home for dinner. It was from him that I learned the value of self-discipline, respect, and the importance of good education. Meanwhile, my mother was the go-to person for most of our relatives and family friends. Our home was open to anyone who was in
