Introduction
There are many forms of leadership and it is important to recognize that there is a need for variation. In order to most effectively lead, plans must adapt as necessary. Leadership is the guidance of a group to complete a goal that positively impacts each member and facilitates success of whatever project or task needs completion. If done correctly, cohesion will form among group members and potential future assignments will be accomplished with improved results. There have been several influences from leaders in my own career that have shaped my own philosophy. My chief at the time provided me with confidence through the use of small wins all the while making sure I didn’t fail. A Chief Warrant Officer empowered me as the most senior petty officer in the division. He empowered me to run the warehouse, transportation department, and later take on supervising the purchasing department simultaneously. He was quick to praise and acknowledge when a job well done. However, the most important lesson in leadership for me came from my wife who imparted humbleness. Through her example and encouragement I began to recognize certain situations in the home and at work. I learned that acknowledging when things go wrong or there is a need to do things better, one must be willing to making adjustments on the fly in order to get things done. Staying the course or freezing will not improve the situation and most likely have a bad result.
Improvement on Leadership
Leadership is the ability to prepare, coordinate, learn, and follow, a group in a quest to accomplish a specific task/mission, or a state of being over-all successful. Keeping the group’s motivation, dedication, esprit de corps, and over-all well being positive. Ensuring failures are considered learning points for improvement and successes are recognized. Furthermore the ability to foster these abilities in other members of your group as to take your place in the future should be equally as important as the primary result.
The meaning of leadership can vary depending on the person but to me leadership is the way a person, or group, leads a group of people in a task. Everyone has their own form of leadership but I personally prefer to lead by example as well as consult with the group before I make a decision. I feel that with this form of leadership I will never be asking someone to do something that I wouldn’t do myself, and it allows for members to become involved in the decision making.

I really enjoyed reading your discussion board post. You made some interesting points about leadership. I agree it takes upper management to bring order and plans. The health system I work in is partnered with clinics. The availability of services these clinics offer is great, but the financial side is lacking so much. This is due to upper management not having a complete plan. I believe other management respects the clinic management because of knowledge-based trust (Lesson 6: Leadership, 2016). The clinical side is covered, but the financial side needs improvement. The financial side lacks order and organization. I understand where management in health systems are coming from. Most of the time their background is in the clinical side. To them the

The following is a self-reflection of my leadership style and the experiences in my careers that have led me to a Captain with the Henderson Police Department. The intent is to provide the reader with some insight into why I am the person that I am and what I need to do to improve myself and in turn the department as a whole.
An individual’s personal model of leadership is essentially what is important to them and governs an individual’s actions and decisions. Donato Tallo (2017) said what we do and the attitude we have has a “direct impact on those around us and the environments in which we work.” Our values and beliefs impact not only our own lives, but also the lives of everyone we come into contact with. Through having faith in God, serving/helping others, being self-controlled through managing responsibilities, and genuinely loving others I hope to have a positive impact on others lives and point them towards Christ.
What defines leadership? There are a number of definitions of the meaning of leadership including but not limited to the theories of leadership and how leadership should work. In my opinion, every individual has different ways of confronting situations and there is not one leadership style or theory that will be flawless for any given situation. However, to be a successful educational leader, it is crucial to understand and be familiar with the various theories and styles of leadership as well as our personal tendencies to nurture a personal leadership style. Despite the method used to confront a situation, it’s the outcome of success that will determine which leadership style or theory should be used. The following

Leadership truly begins with understanding your strengths and is a continual process of learning how to use those strengths to influence others (Griffiths, 2014). To understand leadership the word leader has to be examined. Webster describes a leader as a guide, a person who has commanding authority or influence. Additionally, a leader must possess specific qualities and characteristics to be classified a great leader. I will future delve into these qualities and characteristic as well as discuss my own personal leadership strengths and weaknesses.

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. When we discussed servant leadership it was defined as this leadership model is based on the leader and the followers wanting to serve others. Basically, this means the servant leader you put your focus on the needs of others before your own. The followers goal is to serve clients and the leader’s goal is to serve the employee and implement the organization mission statement.
