1. What is your style of developing others? Are you a shaman, a priest, an elected leader, a missionary, or a mystic healer in your approach to teaching? How did you develop your style?
Student Answer: This is a difficult choice for me. I possess qualities from two different types of leaders. After thorough research, I feel that the missionary and mystic leaders are similar to the democratic leadership.
The first one, the missionary, is goal oriented (Curtis & Manning, 2015). I set myself goals for my professional and my personal life. Setting goals for myself personally was never easy until I reached

A type of change that affected me was changing into a different role in the company and the tasks that were required. While at CIGNA Healthcare, I started as a claims processor in 2007. I started out working on national accounts and worked my way up to processing the top accounts and performing other duties. My supervisor advised me that our department was slowly fading away. Employees with high numbers would stay, but unsure of how long, and others could possibly lose their job. She told me my best choice would be to look for a new job within the company so I could advance my skills and learn more, eventually obtaining the career I desired. I interviewed and received the position in the contract department. It was new and no one had performed this job except in Connecticut. I talked it over with my supervisor before accepting the position. After discussing it with her, my counselor, I finally accepted. It was a different atmosphere compared to what I was used to, ranging from the supervisor techniques to the job itself. My supervisor in claims was very supportive and a non-micro manager. She stated her expectations up front and allowed employees to make certain decisions, such as when they wanted to come in, choose between a 30 minute lunch to an hour, and allowed us to make our schedule (as long as we put in 40 hours). The supervisor in contracts was a micromanager. We had to tell him what time we were coming in and if it changed, we had to email him, and our schedule overall (lunch, work week, time we left) needed to stay consistent. He was upfront about expectations, but weekly, it would change. With production, the claims supervisor, advised us each week of our team’s numbers and held monthly meetings with us individually, pointed out, our strengths and weaknesses, if we were meeting our numbers, and what we could do to improve (even if we were
I have demonstrated my ability to lead pedagogy by developing and modeling effective forms of teaching practice, by inviting colleagues to share resources I have created and to observe my lessons. I also engage in regular professional dialogue with colleagues regarding their implementation of new teaching methodologies and strategies.
The theory of leaders can be autocratic, a person who doesn’t consider the person undertaking the task only getting the results. A democratic leader takes opinions of the staff and understands how they believe the best results can be achieved, whereas Laissez-faire style leaves the experienced staff to implement the work processes.
College football is more fast paced, and more interesting to watch thann over paid football players making millions to play a quarter of the year. College players are more self disciplined and a good number of athletes end up doing more than just playing football. They are executives, coaches, and teachers. College football players should not get paid to play football because of the real purpose of college and it is to obtain a college degree. The coaches have already put in their time and that is why they make the big bucks.
I would be most effective as an employee with a leader that is of the transformational type and a democratic leadership style. These management styles are more effective for me personally, as they allow me to learn and grow quickly within a company.
The democratic style of the organization’s leadership mirrors my personal leadership style. I am a true believer of inclusion constantly seeking out input of others during the decision making process. At the end, the final decision rests on the shoulders of the leader. Utilizing all three styles of leadership is essential which is dependent
This transformative learning through experiences and community support continues through my spiritual formation is Sunday school. I can remember my Sunday school teacher being open to my questions and was willing at times to call
The reason why most changes fail is the lack of planning. Managers are usually the change agents in organizations (Marquis & Huston, 2015). The change agent must be proficient in managing human emotions and balancing factors within the agency that will be affected by the transition. Timing should be considered before a change is
In my previous place of employment there was pretty significant changes taking place. A long term care unit was transitioning into a sub acute rehabilitation unit. The workers on this unit were unhappy about the changes and management was not discussing with them the reasons behind it and the upcoming changes. As a unit coordinator I was able to apply what I have learned in this program about most care transitioning into the community rather than the hospital. Through studies in this program we have learned that more individuals will be seeking care in the community and the care provided in the community will be more acute. When I described this to the employees they seemed more receptive to the changes. As time passed we began to see more acute patients entering our
I wouldn’t say the example of getting a new class schedule is this life altering change I am describing, but I can think of other types of change in my life I did not like, so to tell the story, let’s go back about four years.
1. Who am I? (Name, Place of birth or residence, a personality trait or characteristic, etc.)
After completing a quick management style inventory to discover my leadership style, my results came in and I am a democratic leader. According to Marquis, B., & Huston, C. (2014). “ Democratic leaders exhibit the following behaviors: Less control is maintained.
Change can be difficult to accept in healthcare. Over the last 20 years there have been major changes in the industry; for example, electronic medical records and bar code medication administration. Sone staff may be resistance to change and may make the decision to not participate in the tasks that are change. There are ways to lessen that resistance. For example, ensuring that there is clear communication with all parties involved. When people are included in that planning from the first step they have a sense of ownership of the change (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2015). Additionally, educating people about the what, why, and how of the change can lessen resistance. When people are fully educated and prepared for implementation they

The major change I will discuss is the managerial position in my previous department. A position I lost due to a lack of the required education. I started working in an outpatient obstetrical office in 2005. In 2010, I was offered the assistant nurse manager position.
Throughout history, there have been many systems of government that have been created, and have revolutionised todays modern forms of government. Democracy, Monarchy, Dictatorship, Theocracy, and Anarchy all use various, unique techniques on how to run a civilization. Each of them require different leadership traits in order for it to work properly.
