My First Reading Reflection By Carson F. Dye

A leader is described as a person who guides or directs a group, but I believe it is so much more than that. A leader is a person that inspires people to do good and does good themselves. Due to my extensive volunteer work, I believe that I qualify as a fairly good leader. My outstanding leadership is shown clearly in my participation in community theatre. I have participated in the theatre community at Top Hat Productions, a theatre company located near me, for a couple years. My leadership in this company is shown through my ability to get people involved and my own participation.

Leaders in health organization must set an positive example by doing daily actions that determine their deep commitment towards their work and beliefs so people understand what is expected to do from them and how to it. Effective leader in health care setting must be able to set the clear example doing personal actions following shared values. They must be clear about their vision and always clarify all members in an organization so that they can act together to having same vision to achieve common goal (Kouzes, Posner & Biech

A leader is someone who will step up in the times of crisis and is able to think and act creatively in a difficult situation according to businessdictionary.com. A leader can also inspire others to be engage and to work together to achieve a common goal.

Being a leader is a fulltime commitment to the group, the leader role runs into chaos, confusion, and ambiguity of accountability, the staff will lose sight of the value and begin to develop uncertainty towards the leader, that can lead to conflict within the organization.

By definition a leader is a person who leads or commands a group however, I believe a leader should be a person who inspires his team excel in the worst of conditions. A leader should be extraordinary reliable as the team should know that the leader could guide them to the best of his abilities toward their goal. A leader should be persistent as they should be the motivational force leading the group. A leader should be patient and calm knowing that quality takes time and that the individual member of his team have obstacles to overcome on their own part.

Leadership is a difficult task, by which a person impacts others to accomplish an objective. While this is a challenging situation in any field, it is of extreme significance in the healthcare setting, where quality of service, trust, and ultimately people's lives are dependant. In addition, leadership-- whether it be positive or

To me, a leader is somebody who exhibits exceptional devotion to his or her team, and is willing to do whatever it takes to unite the team. A leader injects a feeling of positivity and guides others to achieve predetermined goals. This leadership is the process in which a person influence a group (adherents) to accomplish a shared objective. The objective is achieved by mutual affirmation and a cohesive behavior. One of the end goals of leadership is to get results through others, and the method for achieving this include the ability to develop goal oriented, cohesive groups. Since knowledge is power naturally, for the individuals who trust power is the quintessence of leadership will presume that the individuals who have more knowledge and insight will make great leaders. This is not generally correct. I think

A leader is the foundation of the organization, the individual who represents the values, purposes, and direction of the organization. A leader is one who creates connections between members of an organization for the purpose of promoting increased performance and quality results (Sullivan & Decker, 2009). Leaders motivate, console, and work with people, to keep them bonded and eager to move forward (Stanley, 2006, pp. 33). The leader is an individual who has his or her own personal goals and want to show everyone what he or she has to offer others. These traits are needed to inspire the employee and make him or

A leader is a person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. A leader is someone who helps others achieve something. Throughout my four years in high school, I have found myself in many leadership positions. This could range from being the leader of an extracurricular activity, an activity going on outside the school, or being a group leader in the classroom.

Leadership is defined as the process of visualising to a better future; whereby one motivates and enticing others to think and plan ahead as to facilitate the change (Jones, 2007). However, according to Bishop (2009), healthcare professionals have a poor leadership skills due to lack of strong leaders, who mainly emphasise more on traditional models of management. Therefore, they require leaders who have a good communication and decision-making skills to be able to handle stress and time management efficiently (Tomey, 2009). Thus, the fundamental concepts of leadership are important, as to help leaders to look at the different surroundings of situations and to be able to adjust their leadership style accordingly (Tomey, 2009).

A leader, by definition, is a person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. To me there is so much more to being a leader than what the definition states. A leader is someone who leads with his or her heart and not by their mind. A leader also is a person who leads by their examples and not just by their words. Additionally, a leader is someone who doesn’t necessarily change a million people’s lives, but at least changes one. A leader by my definition is someone of any age who changes at least

Leadership is a highly sought-after and highly valued commodity. Over the past decade organizations have become increasingly captivated by the idea of leadership. It is often questioned as to what makes a good leader. Many people believe that leadership is a way to improve their personal, social, and professional lives. Healthcare facilities seek those whom have leadership ability because they believe they bring special assets to their organizations. Collaborative, transformational, and patient- and family-centered leadership are all leadership models that can help shape the culture of an organization.

Being a leader does not always mean that you are the owner of a fancy title, know the most information or have the ability to recite policies and procedures. The true essence of the leader is showing courage, tenacity and patience when others lose their cool, having faith in others while taking responsibility for your own actions and having the ability to listen while being a successful communicator.

For me, a leader is someone who is able to, promote passion, listen intently, motivate, and most importantly, to genuinely lead by proper example. As a leader you must be confident in your own abilities, so that your followers are confident in you. In the military we often say that the best leaders, are the very best servants, and I believe that there is much truth to this statement. A leader must take the time to get to know their followers on a personal level, know their strengths, and weaknesses, and know what it takes to motivate them each individually. When each member of a team is motivated properly, to include its leader, greatness will be achieved.

“Leaders have been around since the beginning of man,” says the authors of ‘Introduction to Health Care Management.’ (Buchbinder, 2012) As a result, time has taught us the true definition of leadership. For years, the method by which a person has persuaded and motivated others to participate in accomplishing a goal has become monumental. The commitment that great leaders encompass are not defined with a simple definition of leadership. The mutual theme with great leadership is that success is not their ultimate objective. They are leaders, driven by an idea or a vision to achieve a goal, with confidence and determination to generate success.
