elaboration where requested.
My parents divorced when I was 11 and my mother left for Europe to be with her family. She definitely moved to USA when I was 16. I was really close to her while growing up so after she left I did not really have a female figure to look up too or to share my worries with. I grew up in the city and I was going to a private school; being the kid without a mother at home made me feel different but that was not something you could talk about in my dad’s house. He is a proud man and he put that pride in us so we had to keep our heads up all the time. Still, I had people talking on my back. I started keeping to myself from there and doing everything on my own without asking anyone help because that is how my dad wanted us to be: educated, successful, proud and independent so we wouldn’t have to deal with failure or rejection. I realize today that as people, we will always need someone’s help at some point in our life, and pride is not everything. It is hard letting go of old habits, but I am trying to be more of a people person because we can also learn from failure and rejection. They are all part of life.

2. On your Intro-Ambulatory rotation, reflect on the leadership styles you observed amongst others at your site. What was effective? What was not? What do you hope to embody in your own leadership approach? Are there any qualities that you do not want to incorporate into your own leadership style?

Leadership style research has been conducted examining multiple variables and settings, but the review of literature shows a need for more analysis of how such styles are being viewed by teachers in both high poverty and low poverty settings. School climate differences also need further examination to determine if teachers perceive their school climate differently in high poverty and low poverty schools. Chapter three describes the sampling procedures, research methodology, instrumentation, data collection, data analysis and procedures for the study of leadership styles and school climate differences in schools of different poverty levels.
Today a lot of the things we talked about really hit home with me, and I actually cried in a room full of strangers as I told them my story and why I chose to be a leader.
The three concepts that I found the most valuable during my academic lessons at Non-Commissioned Officer Academy Intermediate Leadership Experience would be the three elements of flexibility, the five traits of followership, and leadership influencing styles. These concepts are very important to me because they will make a positive change in myself and my leadership style. My goal to change my flexibility and, my overall adaptability, would be to change my default setting of dispositional flexibility to a more positive outlook. I currently may have a stand-offish/negative outlook when it comes to change. To be a more effective leader I must will myself to maintain a positive disposition to a changing environment. The next goal would be
Strong leadership is vital to the success of any business, institution, school, team, or even church. Leaders that are considered effective encompass a leadership style and qualities that work to influence and motivate their followers. Joel Osteen, an evangelical pastor from Houston, Texas is truly one of the 21st centuries most captivating leaders. So much so, that he as selected by Barbara Walters as one of her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2016 (ABC News, 2006). His appeal is a phenomenon that is unmatched by any other current leaders in his profession. Over the past 15 years he has built a church, where he ministers one of the largest and most diverse congregations in America (Romano, 2005). Aside from his 45,000 attendees at his weekly services, his sermon is broadcasted in every television market in the United States and in over 100 other nations around the world (“About Joel,” n.d.). Joel Osteen is a prime example of a compelling leader who practices an effective leadership style that resonates with people on a personal level.
Demonstration of leadership style can be either formal or informal. A formal leader is one that is selected and given authority by the hospital management to make decisions and act (Kozier et al, 2010). They are in a position of leadership thus includes the charge nurse, resource nurse, and the manager. They create shared vision, build trusting relationship through communication and initiating transformation and democracy through role directing and being role defined (Ezziane, 2012). The informal leader includes all other nurses or health care workers that are not officially appointed to direct activities of others but plays an important role in influencing colleagues to achieve the group 's goals (Kozier et al, 2010). These leaders are followers as well as learners on the unit. It includes all health care workers. Informal leader 's role is implemented when RPN nurses seek help from the RN in hanging some medication due to their scope of practice. They fully engage others and collaborate with other RN nurses when needed. They call on RPN nurses and nursing students present on the unit to come and learn. Informal leaders are relational, issue- defined and situational (Ezziane, 2012). In my clinical setting, an informal role is more predominant than a formal role leadership. According to Ezziane, (2012) "informal leadership are more appropriate to provide high-quality services, promote creativity and innovation"
A leader is assumed to be an individual who is always involved in the right activities at the right time to ensure everybody in their circle are benefiting. Leaders must maintain confidential appearances to accomplish obligatory aims. A leader must be professionally responsible and self-restraint as everyone will follow you. When someone follows the leadership line, he/she will possess weaknesses and strengths. The writer will talk regarding the weaknesses and strengths that she own as a leader in individual and professional accountability, career planning, personal journey, personal journey discipline, and reflective practice reference behaviors.
I feel that I am a leader, but I believe that I have different leadership styles for the different occasions. For instance, when playing sports, I was a captain and had to lead to more or less just set an example for the rest of the team. In that scenario, I feel I was both a democratic leader and an expressive leader. When deciding what drills to run, and the order of things such as practices, I would give the team the best options that I thought were fit, but I would want the majority vote. I had to be an expressive leader because if we were down in a game, or things were not going well on the team, there has to be one or two leaders who can step up and change the mood. I have learned that when the typical expressive leader fails to encourage
Management and Leadership are two different skill sets and positions, however, it is believed by some organizations that they go hand in hand. I believe that management is a learned concept that is taught in schools. Universities and colleges offer degrees in Management and/or Leadership. Authentic leadership is not actually taught but can be learned as a practical skill through being coached and mentored by a true effective leader. Leadership skills are gained by completing research, gaining ideas to inspire and help others achieve new skills to move into a better position or advanced career. Achieving new leadership skills is always a work in progress. In my IMG 233 class I learned that Management is the formal influence of the organization. Managers develop strategic goals, establish performance control mechanisms, and communicate instructions and information to ensure probability and production to meet the overall demands. Leaders are the heart of the organization and their role is to informally influence and inspire employees while creating visions and direction and at the same time building strong team relationships. An effective and dynamic leader empowers their team with the knowledge to be innovative and generate new ideas to increase productivity and performance.
In reflecting on my one specific leadership style is difficult because my leadership style sometimes changes depending upon the particular employee I am leading, the situations I am faced with and what I am trying to accomplish. Being the second in command of a small police agency with only twenty-two sworn officers, as well as six non-sworn employees, they all have small differences from one another. These employee differences vary widely from generational, skill sets, needs, wants and personal motivations. One particular leadership style may work well with one employee I am trying to get to complete a specific task while that leadership style may cause another employee to resist or shut down. I believe one of the true characteristics of a strong leader is the ability to recognize and appreciate the differences between my subordinates and then lead them based upon the style that they will best respond to in order to succeed.
This paper is a critique of preceptor leadership methods. I will describe my current preceptor’s leadership style, giving an example of an observed valuable leadership strategy and why I found it to be successful. Shadowed by an example of an observed unsuccessful leadership strategy, how I responded, and a recommended strategy for the situation described. Ending with the type of leader I aspire to be in the future and my final thought regarding leadership.
Leadership and motivation styles vary from person to person, that is why it is essential for managers to know and understand their leadership style and how their particular leadership affects their workplace. Leadership is influenced by many things that is why it is so important to know how and why your leadership style is what it is. There are many contributors that come into play when a leadership style is developed within a person. During the course of the last eight weeks I have been taking a hard look at my own leadership style and what I can do to improve myself to better serve both my co-workers and subordinates. Upon being tasked to disburse the LPI forms to my managers, co-workers and subordinates I become somewhat distressed
One of my favorite lectures for this course was the “leadership skills.” This lecture caught my attention from the beginning to the last second of it. It was very useful especially for the medical students because in the future they may become leaders for their medical health team at their work or be leaders in their classes at the universities. Therefore, as a medical student I studied this lecture to improve my skills in the leadership skill. In the past I didn’t know how to treat the problems between the members in the group and how to influence and motivate the behavior of the other members. However, after I had studied this lecture I learn many things. First thing I had learned was how to deal with the conflicts in the group by doing some important things which are focusing on the process and not the people as the source of conflict, developing common team purposes and values, emphasizing on collaboration, and recognizing that differences in the view points are inevitable and must be discussed openly. another thing I had learned was how to motivate the members to contribute by treating everyone with respect and courtesy, making people feel appreciate for the work they have done, making suggestions not demand, making people as though they are contributing something unique, and making sure all the members of the group understand the discussion. I hope in the future all these skills can help to provide better quality care to the patient and
In this essay, I would like to discuss the relevant theories about leadership styles and will explore the key theories and models critically. Also, I will examine the Chinese, Indian and Turkish cultures represented in my group. In order to describe these cultures, appropriate cross-cultural models will be followed. Next, I will identify the key differences in terms of management style between these cultures and how these differences might have affected the leadership in the team. Finally, I will talk about the experience of being managed in the team.
When I was writing my college application essays and trying to dig out some daily experiences to show my leadership skills to admission officers, I always asked myself a question: when did my first act of leadership emerge? Should the honor of the first leadership act go to becoming a part of class council in middle school or should it go to leading a biology research team in high school? I spent a long time wondering if making all my classmates follow a clean-up duty schedule back to middle school was a real act of leadership. At that time, I took it for granted that the acts of leadership must somehow relate to those fancy names of positions and statuses. However, after coming to college and studying more about leadership, now I realize, the acts of leadership are amorphous and are not necessarily related to any position and status. So if I want to trace my very first act of leadership, I need to rewind a bit more. Maybe rewind to the family gathering when 5-year-old I led my 3-year-old cousin to paint with crayons on a perfect white wall in my grandparents’ house while all the adults were chatting. Or maybe rewind even more to the time when 2-year-old I sat in a baby chair in a restaurant and tried to attract attention of another toddler across the room and let her repeat the actions after me. These insignificant behaviors are actually my very first acts of leadership. They meant something, although not big enough to change the entire world. The acts of leadership
