My Leadership Situation : My Life As A Leader

The text will cover a number of different aspects of leadership. We will consider my personal understanding of leadership and it relates to certain leadership theories. In my philosophy of leadership, I will address what role I believe a health care leader should play, what leadership theory they should follow, and why leaders should follow that theory. It will describe my current sphere of influence and how it has shaped my understanding of leadership. I will explain how I am a leader in my current position and how I apply my leadership philosophy within my position. Then I will provide how I see the use of informal, formal, positive and negative power as it applies to my personal philosophy of leadership.

My personal leadership philosophy is based upon a few core values that I follow. I live by honesty, hard work, loyalty, and strong support and care for family and friends. Some of the key attributes of a good leader are: providing direction and guidance, inspiring followers to always do their best, show courage and confidence to stand up for your beliefs, have a passion and commitment for what you are doing. A good leader will share their vision of success with the group and make sure everyone understands the direction that they need to go in. The leader needs to make sure that each member knows their expectations and how important their efforts are in reaching the goals of the organization. This means that a leader must empower others to have a sense of ownership for their work. This is accomplished by giving clear goals and objectives and then giving them the freedom to complete their objectives without micro managing them. Another leadership trait is the ability to motivate and inspire the group. The leader needs to be the spark that ignites inspiration and passion for the job. This can be accomplished by positive reinforcement while rewarding and recognizing good results. Good leaders will always lead by example and demonstrate the values of honesty and integrity. There is no grey line between what is right and wrong. To me honesty is being truthful to others while keeping your uprightness of character. It is matching what you say with what you do. A leader will always

Typical conceptions of leadership associate this word with authority and power. On the contrary, the role of effective leadership means quit the opposite. The virtue of leadership is not to hold power, but rather to empower others. A real leader selflessly devotes his or her efforts and time for the prosperity of the organization as a whole as well as the thriving of individuals. The epitome of this oxymoron can be found in how I strive to emulate the leadership of Christ, who had all the power and authority to rule, but instead humbled himself to eat with prostitutes and wash feet. Leadership shouldn’t be about being higher than others. It should be about encouraging and inspiring others to step up, staring first with the example of my own

Accomplish the mission by cultivating competence is my leadership philosophy. Competence is “the ability to do something successfully or efficiently” . It refers to the asset of knowledges and skills required to perform a given activities. My career field requires skills and adherence to technical instructions in every technical task. To achieve this, in my daily management I prioritize the discipline, the exemplary, and the courage. These values have marked my view of leadership throughout my career, by professional and social experiences, observations and our cultural realities.

In terms of my leadership, I think I grew much more confident and strict as a leader. When I started, I remember thinking that all my residents would be wonderful and would listen to their RA, because I always did so everyone else would too. That was clearly not the case, especially when it came to quiet hours. Confrontations are frightening to me because I have had bad experiences in the past. But as an RA, it is part of what I need to do. Once residents started complaining about one another, I realized warnings were not sufficient. So I started documenting residents who were loud during quiet hours. I also grew as a confident leader through my trivia week. I remember feeling really nervous to knock on everyone 's door to do trivia. I am

I learned early on that the bedrock of any organization, corporation, or military unit is the personnel who work or serve within. Understanding the skills, capabilities, and experience of the people within your group is vital to help them personally excel and the group to succeed. My first experience with the complexities of personnel management were as a teenager some thirty-five-years ago.

Leaders take time to share blessings with others. In the summers, I volunteer with children during summer camps. In addition to my typical duties I make it a point to ensure every child feels included. Regardless of what they wear or difficulties they face, they are children who want to be just seen as the same. It breaks my heart when someone feels left out. Teaching children that everyone is special, have feelings and need inclusion is leadership.

I have been working in my family’s business since I was 12 years. I come from a business-oriented family, both my sister and I have worked the family business. Through sheer hard work, I have been able to rise up to a management position by virtue of being made an assistant store manager. In my life as a leader, I have always strived to apply the path-goal leadership theory, by Northouse (2013). I have come up with a clear-cut leadership model. I have learned what works best, what works and does not work for the family business. I continually emphasize to the employees the importance of working together as a team and try as much as possible to be a role model to other workers. I continually encourage other workers to do their best and be

Before discussing and describing my personal leadership style and synthesize the course material of different leadership theory, I want to talk about the development of my personal leadership style. In order to develop my personal leadership, what I did for the first five week of class was journal and observe my weak area of leadership and then comparing it with theories, given approaches and situations to find ways to improve and develop my weakness. I always have had a problem breaking down issues into manageable pieces, I tend to focus on the whole issue rather than breaking down the issue into manageable pieces and sometime I get overwhelm with the problem. Analyze: I think this is because I am always in

During the course of my career and personal study of leadership practice, I have had the good fortune of becoming acquainted with a number of leaders whom I admire. When considering a choice for this paper number strong leaders from a wide range of backgrounds came to mind. I considered Alan Mulally, former CEO of Ford Motor Company, Milton Hershey founder of The Hershey Chocolate Company, Jack Welsh former Chairman and CEO of General Electric, and Lee Iacocca former CEO of Chrysler. All of these leaders are well known and would make excellent candidates for a leadership profile. Instead, I chose John Hand former operations executive of Georgia Pacific Corporation.

The ways in which my leadership strengths are capable of being used within in organization had never been something that I had thought about prior to the strength finder activity. For me a position of leadership had always been a potential future responsibility of mine. However, upon taking the strength finder quiz, three of the results that I received were developer, connectedness and learner, and I began to see how I could use these in my work upon graduation. The future of the way in which individuals approach work is changing, no longer is the need of the organizations paramount over the employers. In order to be a productive member of the future of organization, I need to understand how I can use my leadership skills within the

The purpose of this personal assessment is to devalue an incident in which I believe I performed my very best, within my leadership capability, according to organizational policies, and lawful regulatory compliance while protecting cultural competence and our organization from any legal repercussions. Business environment will continue evolve and it is pivotal to the success of the organization that all potential leaders acquire the fundamentals of understanding human behaviors within a multicultural atmosphere. Different situations will arise in which leadership will need to focus on the many aspects of one’s personal beliefs, culture as a whole, and productivity at the least. What is evident is the diversity within

Part Four: Be a Leader – How to Change People Without Giving Offense or Arousing Resentment

There isn’t a need for me to think for three minutes as I have decided long time ago to become the 11th Prime Minister of Malaysia, InsyaAllah. Why do I want to go that far? It is because, I love this country and I want to bring Malaysia and the Malaysians to the next level. Malaysians had enough of being in a developing country. Why do I set that as my goal? I believe 90% of Malaysian will agree with me that the current leadership of the country is not doing enough for the betterment of the people. Politicking will continue even so long after the General Election had finished. And there goes the 23 years of Malaysia rapid growth under Tun Dr. Mahathir
