Self Reflection

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.

There are four main leadership styles, the first being Autocratic style which the manager retains as much control and decision making authority as possible, the manager does not give employees any input or consultation. The next is Bureaucratic which is where the manager manages ‘by the book’ which is where everything must be completed according to procedure and protocol. Mangers using this style will only consult with those above them in the chain of command. They simple enforce the rules of the workplace. The next style of leadership is Laissez-Faire which is also known as the ‘hands off’ approach to management. The manager usually provides little or no direction and give employees as much freedom as possible. All power is given to employees and they are to dictate their own work ethics. The last leadership style is the Democratic style which is also known as the participative style and this is where employees are encouraged to be a part of the decision making process. The democratic manager keeps their employees informed about everything that affects

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

Additional styles are consultative and paternalistic. On the contrary to democratic style, managers make decisions after having consulted. Efficient management does both – points out the most viable suggestions and raises motivation of the team. Paternalistic style means that kind of relationship similar to the way a father fosters his children. As a leading role of the management, this style has a lot in common with autocratic style. However, managers pay more attention to what their subordinates need and strive for. They tend to give detailed explanation of matters, care about the feedback they receive, form the direction of actions employees could follow, forge necessary qualities and qualifications, and make common decisions (“Leadership,”

Out of these three Lewin found that the best style of leadership is Democratic, Autocratic leads to an upheaval where the Liaises-Faire approach creates unmotivated individuals who lack effort. (Lewin, LIippit and White, 1939).

This is the type of leadership exhibits by dictators. A leader exerts high levels of power over his or her followers. An autocratic leader gives his or her idea which the team must follow. He or she has no time for deliberations on others ideas before chosing one. In autocracy, time wasting in long deliberations is reduced but most followers will not like being treated as bench warmers without having anything to contribute. For leading unskilled workers who do not have any skill about a job, this leadership style is appropriate.

According to organisational behaviour by McShane, leadership is defined as influencing, motivating and enabling others to contribute towards the effectiveness and success of the organisation of which they are members (page 382, McShane).Becoming an effective leader depends on the leader’s leadership style. Successful leaders have vision and charisma, also the leader should have an ongoing personality, talkative, careful and self-disciplined. The leader must also have self-concept

During the presentation, the team adapted the demonstration method inside of welcoming, did not perform encouragement for the audience to join the movie night and help out the charity. The plain slides style did not provide secure engagement and visual appeal. Ticketing system explanation was made

I plan to develop rapport with myself and work on learning how to avoid seeing crises as insurmountable problems, which refers to a person’s being able to accept the fact that highly stressful events happen, but you must learn how you can change the way you interpret and respond to these highly stressful events and learn to develop certain characteristic to overcome and improve your physical and mental abilities for future predicaments. My research study showed that working with yourself. (The American Psychological Association, Para.4)

The first style is Laissez-Faire. Most people at one time or another have experienced this type of leader. This leader would be totally disconnected from his/her subordinates. They may be sitting in a position of authority, but they

2.3) Louis Litt- An autocratic leadership style is one used to make workers disciplined and usually with inexperienced and unprofessional people. Here the leader makes all the decisions and no- one else gets a say. Louis uses this style with the new associates, teaching them the ropes of the firm in a harsh and direct manner, this is a good leadership style to use with them because it instils a good work ethic and a thick skin which is what they’ll need. It also makes sure that decisions are reliable because the associates don’t have enough experience and knowledge to have a say and make critical decisions.

Being placed in a judgmental society such as the one we have today has diminished the self-confidence we as individuals have begun to shape for ourselves. “…our preferences for particular body types are not biologically ingrained but… shaped by the cultural norms of beauty communicated through magazine ads, commercials, and movies” (EOS pg. 50). As weak individuals living in a controlling society we tend to examine our own personal qualities and the depiction that others have for us, and morph ourselves into beings crave social acceptance, even if we lose sight of our own identities . The question I ponder is how can individuals truly see and value their selves in a society full of judgement? There comes a point in our lives where we truly

In management, nothing happens without engagement, and goals are not reached without motivation. A Laissez-Faire management style may just get bye, but nothing will ever progress. A Laissez-faire management style is directly related to an external locus of control. This type of management would believe they are unable to control, or influence the performance of employees, therefore there is a belief that results will happen on their own. When the results are not achieved, this type of manager will not take responsibility for poor results. Instead, this manager would blame his followers for not completing a task successfully. This laissez-faire management style is in direct conflict with a leader with an internal locus. A leader with an internal locus would engage with his followers, continually work at the development of each individual, and take full responsibility for unsuccessful results.

The last style is called laissez-faire leadership. Here leader usually participates minimally and let team members find their own way out by allowing complete freedom in decision making (Simmons and Striley, 2014).
