Leadership in an organization often plays a critical role, and is frequently, though not always, one of the major drivers of the success or failure of a company. (Bass, 1990) Effective leadership helps a company through times of peril and brings a future of brightness. It makes a corporation successful. However, what is leadership? According to Kouzes and Posner, it is the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations. (1995, p.30) Leaders set a clear direction for us; they help us realize what is ahead; they support us to achieve and win; they encourage and inspire us when we feel depressed. Without leadership, an organization will degenerate into chaos and unstructured because people view things in different ways.

“Understanding leadership in early childhood has been plagued by its confusion with the concept of management” (Rodd, 2013, p. 19). The quotation highlights the overlapping of different roles of leadership and management. It is true in respect that people misunderstand the true nature, roles and responsibilities of both the roles because the educational leaders play the role of manager in early childhood setting and the managers perform the duties of educational leader. The following essay will discuss the role of the leaders, which is different from the managers in early childhood settings.

Communities are a crucial element to society. This being said, as leaders it is equally critical to evaluate and understand communities.

The article titled Relational Leadership written by James Freeman takes a look at the impact of Child and Youth Workers in the lives of youth, specifically the work of Brian Gannon. Brian Gannon is an experienced Youth Worker who took on a leadership role at St. Johns Hostel in Cape Town, South Africa in 1967, at the age of twenty-seven. St. Johns consisted of sixty four boys, with many of them left alone in the aftermath of World War I along with the influenza epidemic. Outside of the care provided for the boys, the program offered them a life parallel to anyone living in the city. Activities such as afternoon sports, free time and contact with friends and family outside of the institution were provided and endorsed by the institution for the boys. Gannon’s approach to working with youth focused on the following things highlighted in the article: “creating smaller living groups for the boys, less regimented routines, more experiences of childhood and adolescence in everyday life, and a focus on developing meaningful relationships with one another” (Freeman, 2015, p. 37). In other words, Gannon’s main goal was to lead and guide the youth so that they are given an equal chance at succeeding in life. Gannon is also a co-founder of CYC-Net where he has published a collection of approximately two-hundred child and youth care practice hints, each hint containing a background theory and a how-to element. The article then analyzes an excerpt from the works of Gannon, complimenting

In today’s business world employees, industries, and consumers look toward company leaders like Steve Jobs (Former Apple CEO), Anne Mulcahy (Former Xerox CEO), Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO), Elon Musk (Former PayPal CEO), and Eric Schmidt (Goggle CEO) to understand the dynamic roles of leadership and management.

Leadership, management, and followership are three concepts which are all interrelated. Nurses do each of these in the workplace regardless of his/her position on the chain of command (Yoder-Wise, 2014, p.5).

The four approaches in understanding leadership have their own advantages in explaining leadership. However, I would say that the relational approach is the most comprehensive way in explaining and understanding leadership. According to Hackman and Johnson (2013), “leadership is “human (symbolic) communication that modifies the attitudes and behaviors of others in order to meet shared group goals” (p. 11). From the definition, we could see that leadership emphasizes on communication, task, and relationship among leaders and followers, and those aspects are well explained in the relational approach which has focus on leader-member relationships, while other approaches have focus on personal characteristics (for traits and contingency approach)

GDD derived its leadership concept through the relational leadership theory on account of their view of leadership as a relational and ethical process of people attempting to carry out positive change within an organization (Exploring Leadership, n.d.). GDD focuses on the idea that leadership effectiveness is an ability of the leaders to create a substantive relationship within the company (Exploring Leadership, n.d.); additionally, this idea encompasses the following components: inclusiveness, empowering, purposeful, ethical, and process oriented. GDD developed an organizational structure and culture to encourage and foster a business environment that reflects this leadership theory.

Every day the things around us begin to change without us taking much observation of what is truly going on, weather it be big or small. The business world is one that is constantly changing and the people associated in this world have to adapt to those changes. Peter Drucker, the “creator” of management, knew change happens everywhere especially in the business world, so the changes were no surprise to him.

Leadership is crucial in every aspect of any business and leadership is made up of the ability to make decisions along with the personality of a person. Collaboration plays a large role in well-run organization; within collaboration the correct skills need to be attached to the right person and a high level of communication through out the organization.

These three areas of business feed off one another and together they help improve the business world.

After reviewing my biggest take-aways from Drucker, it made me think about how I learn and work but also how I can improve
