Leadership Paper

When we think about what a leader and manager is, most of us will use the same meaning. But in actual fact this is incorrect. We have to look at these two terms differently. What is a manager? A manager is someone who is responsible for directing and controlling the work and staff of a business, or of a department within the organization. So what is a leader? A leader is someone whom people follow, somebody who guides or directs others. Looking at both terms they both are very different. The question is always asked is a manager can be a leader and leader a manager. The true answer is managers are not always leaders, while leaders can be

Leadership is essential to the growth and facilitation of any organization. At the University Eye Clinic (UEC), leadership drives the organization to function and maintain its policies, vision, and mission of the agency. In Effective Leadership Masterclass, Adair states, "the word leader has developed from the root meaning of a path, road, or course of a ship” (1997). This means having leadership is the path that brings a community practice and organization together. Leadership is rooted in teamwork and a shared common goal between members of a team.

Leadership perspectives are very important when making decisions and strategies. A leader that only sees information on one side does not have the grasp on a situation. A leadership perspective such as understanding that there are more than one way to see things and it does not have to be what you see is what you get as a leader. When a leader uses their surrounding and employees the perspective may change and rather than seeing one side they see a variety.

What makes a good leader? Everyone has different opinions on this, but a good leader is strong enough to make the right decision even when it is unpopular, holds up under pressure, and decisive when reacting to threats and opportunities. Great leaders do not need to be a certain race, religion, or military background, but they need to tolerate others and accept different views. Great leaders can gain respect by being knowledgeable of the field they are leading, whether it be engineering or finance. A good president favors a decision that benefits the nation, regardless of their personal or party views.

Motivator, director, inspirer --- appellations that every leader strives to be. Young leaders set these titles as their goals, striving to become a greater motivator, director, and inspirer everyday. However, they recognize that there is no time that one can exhibit outstanding leadership because, simply, outstanding leadership does not exist. No matter the act, no matter the exuberance of prosperity that comes from it, these acts are something that should be sought after every single day plainly for the reason that it is what they should do, not because they are looking for recognition or view the acts as outstanding. They view these acts of leadership as normal day to day occurrences that every person should strive to experience. This is

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have been influenced by some amazing people. When I think about the ones that have had the lasting impacts of my view of effective leadership, they all have one characteristic in common, humility. I believe to be an effective leader you should understand that you will not always be right and you will not always have all the answers.

When taking the two leadership surveys, it was interesting to see my personal leadership profile. My leadership style according to the survey is the instructional type, which in another world is direct leadership. My culture, upbringing, and work environment have transformed me to be direct leaders that are looking for stability. My staff members sadly do not have the opportunity to have a job that is autonomy; working in a manufacturing occupation, one has an organize agenda that cannot be deviated from the task ahead. When team members are needing help or trying to build the familiarity to run their equipment my personal leadership profile can be helpful, since being direct is a starting point to build knowledge. The more one individual shows knowledge, familiar, and passionate for their own results, the further laissez-faire I will become when proving they

In class, so far, we have discussed many different topics about leadership. One being different leadership theories. The one that I feel most represents the leader I want to be in the future is servant leadership.
