Personal Reflection On My Personal Experience

One of my personal experiences that I had was when my family decided to move from New Jersey to Florida. I never planned on moving with them but my mother basically forced me into moving with them. It wasn’t really all that moving stuff because the new house was actually pretty nice, it was just I had all my friends there and I was doing well in school. Nothing I said convinced my mother so after a week of packing we was off to Florida. The first week being there was a horrible week. Nothing was going right for me, I missed the school bus for a whole week, dropped my milk on my new shoes, and tripped over nothing in lunch. It was just trying to move back but parents always have this life lesson speech about trying to make new friends and try to get used to being here until we move again. It’s been about a month since we moved to Florida and I met about zero friends but I got used to living here since I’ve found something that interested me as an after school hobby and that was fishing. There’s barley any lakes or ponds in New Jersey so fishing wasn’t really something you do as a time waster. I usually fished right after I got home but on that day it was rainy and it wasn’t really a good time to fish so I just decided to practice my free shots until it started raining hard. I think I was outside for about 20minutes and suddenly a couple kids from my new school asked if they can shoot

Transactional leadership relies on the workers behaviour being influenced by means of reward by the leader.

The theme of leadership is relevant today for many areas of life. After consulting the dictionary, one can construe the leadership as an inner force that manifests in the ability to influence and to control others. A person possesses this quality when he/she can guide masses and move them to the goal, take the consequences and realize the responsibility for himself/herself and others. Shakespeare once remarked that to be a good leader, first of all, one should serve faithfully and loyally. Otherwise, leadership is a destructive force: either you succeed, or it destroys you. “Macbeth” and “Lord of The Flies’ are epitomes of both leadership patterns and worth.

This paper is a briefing document that proposes a logical philosophical, hypothetical cover on leadership, assessing the ways the theory and practice connected into a synergistic shape, by evaluating structures of leadership. I will endeavour to illuminate, by examination, the significance of thoughts and ideas around leadership; I will give an individual reflection towards the end of this paper on the collaborative effort and an individual personal

There are many definitions for the term leadership. This term have different meanings to each individual. Leadership is defined as a complex phenomenon involving the leader, the followers, and the situation (Hughes, Ginnett & Curphy, 2012). Leadership is a quality that one can gain through employment experience and/or through education and can also be gained through mentorship. There are many different leadership styles that a leader may fall under. Each type of leadership style has its own uniqueness that makes the leader fall under that particular

The organization that I am apart of requires both transactional and transformational leadership skills and traits. Throughout the paper I have explained the effectiveness of leadership for the purpose of organizing and influencing followers in order to achieve organizational goal. The theories of transactional and transformational leadership expounds on the aforementioned by further “ explaining the

Leadership in any profession is represented as a critical component in successfully completing an outcome; a successful leader must obtain the ability to adequately influence and motivate their followers in the completion of any changes. Furthermore, leadership is described as an individual’s ability to prioritize and in understanding which areas are in the most need of assistance. Likewise a leader must obtain the knowledge of problem-solving as well as, their understanding that they must be able to acknowledge that they may not always have the necessary tools immediately to provide their assistance immediately, therefore they are required to improvise allotting for them to effectively develop a strategy, implement their strategies, as well

The transactional leadership style is understood to be the exchange or trade between leaders and followers who are compensated for performance and achieving organizational goals. Transactional leader tends to focus on task completion and employee compliance and these leaders rely quite heavily on organizational rewards and punishments to influence employee performance. These leaders validate the relationship between performance and reward and then an exchange for appropriate responses and rewards, encourages subordinates to improve performance (Saeed, Almas, Anis-ul-Haq, Niazi, 2014)

Transactional leadership (Tomey, 2009) focuses on management tasks and trade-offs to meet the goals by exchanging rewards for performance, and in maintaining the normal flow of operations (as cited in Marquis & Huston; Ingra, 2016). Transformational leadership is inspirational leadership that promotes employee development, attends to the needs and motives of follower, inspires through optimism, influences changes in perception, provides intellectual stimulation, and encourages follower creativity (Tomey, 2009), that goes beyond managing day-to-day operations (Ingra, 2016). Both leadership styles are needed for an organization to succeed in this modern age, due to diversity of workers and customers we have.

Additionally, leadership and followers share objectives pertaining to attending to immediate needs of organizational fluency. “Transformational Leaders are often charismatic, but are not as narcissistic as pure Charismatic Leaders, who succeed through a belief in themselves rather than a belief in others” (Bass). Transitional leaders also impact changes within organizational structure. Utilizing this approach renders greater levels of extrinsic motivation, trust, commitment and produces devoted followers. "However, it is important to note that transactional leadership is an essential prerequisite to effective leadership and that the best leaders learn to display both transactional and transformational leadership, which, leads to superior performance when it “augments’’ or adds to transactional leadership" (Kinicki & Kreitner, 358).

Leadership is often an ambiguous term used to describe those individuals who are managing people and processes. There are as many styles of leadership as there are industries who utilize them. Most often, the culture of an industry creates a particular type of leader or manager, and individuals who wish to become leaders must change their style to reflect that of the culture. However, I believe that everyone has a leadership style that reflects who they are, and if provided the opportunity to utilize their natural tendencies toward leadership, can create a style that is uniquely theirs. This paper will reflect on the leadership style that I feel is closer to the unique style I possess. I will also discuss the style in which I feel less

Transformational leaders are those individuals who communicate a vision and a sense of strategic methods to battle obstacles, are concerned with the qualities of services their organization can provide, and motivate members to buy into the idea (Swail, 2003). In contrast, transactional leaders specify that rewards are contingent on achievements, which may make individual task performance salient and thereby set followers apart from one another regarding their achievements (Lord, 1999). Hence, transactional leadership, emphasizing individual as

The theory of transformational leadership is compelling and exciting. In our text, Leadership: A Communication Perspective, we read that the idea of transformational leadership was developed into a theory in the 1970’s by James MacGregor Burns; Burns saw transformational leadership as a more “complex and potent” form of management than mere transactional leadership (Hackman & Johnson, 2013). Transactional leadership simply offers a traditional model of leading and following. Within this model, leaders offer to meet a follower’s basic needs, and provide reward in exchange for effort. Transactional leaders see a work day as a series of transactions between themselves and their followers, and a manager’s most important function is to “maintain the status quo” (Hackman & Johnson, 2013). On the other hand, transformational leaders offer their followers the opportunity to become leaders by inspiring, empowering, and nurturing them. In these pages, we will explore how transformational leadership theory could provide a dynamic roadmap for a century-old business as it evolves and transforms to meet new needs.

Leadership to guide and encourage the follower’s direction by established goals, clear roles and tasks (Humphries, 2001).In exchange, the leadership supply his subordinates compensation, in-kind rewards, promotion opportunities, honor and etc, which meet the needs and aspirations of follower and follower obey the leadership of the command to complete their mission for return. Salient features of transactional leadership is that it is very emphasis on performance. Through clearly defined division of roles and tasks assignment, transactional leadership can lead or mobilize subordinates to achieve the stated objectives. Such leadership keywords include: control, evaluation, scheduling, results and more. For pursuing predictable, sustainable results, is endogenous dynamic of all transactions leadership. In a transactional leadership chaired by business organizations, we will see the following

The term “leadership” has no specific definition; people have tried to understand and defined its’ concept, but there are no correct answers that could be implemented. According to (Benis, 2014) “the most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born—that there is a genetic factor to the leadership”. The author (John F. Kennedy) observed that Leadership learning is indispensable to each other, leader learning how to become leaders and they are continuing to learn in their own role as leaders. In fact, there are several theoretical approaches that have been conducted to determine the impact of leadership. In this essay the impact of these approaches and understanding of their main tasks will be discussed. In the end of this essay Leadership Questionnaire (by Donald Clark) will be presented.
