successful for short term but they are not the type that looks towards long term benefits or failures for the organization that they lead. Narcissistic leaders are so caught up in their own needs and wants that they neglect those in both the organizations and those others that work there. They are about self-fulfillment and spend more time building their egos rather than building a sustainable organization. When their ideas and choices fail they blame others rather than taking accountability for their own actions and decisions, and that can cause anger and dissention among the people who work under the leader and that ends up hurting the organization and the future of it both it and the employees that work there.

Covenant leaders have the ability to empower those who work in their organizations by “giving people meaningful work to do and treating them well as they do it” (Moisan, 2007 p. 95) as this stills trust both in the workers and by the leader. Conclusion This paper has looked at two different types of leadership styles and the traits that encompass those styles. One is like night and the other like day they are the opposite of each other in most every way. One of the ways that they do share a similarity is that given the circumstances both can in their own way be effective. Question is though can they both be sustainable for the long term. Narcissistic leadership styles are only as good as the leader can feel his or her own personal needs and agenda are being met.
The covenant leaderships ways can be as they always look at how to go from good leaders to great leaders, they look towards the big picture and put others and the organization before themselves they are great mentors who can teach and pass the torch so to speak onto the next generation of leaders knowing that the style and legacy that they have shown and provided with will carry on. In James 3:16-17 “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere” (Holy

covenant leaders are more about the ‘us’, ‘we’ and ‘our’, covenant leaders are not about the fame and glory and seeking out the attention and constant admiration that the narcissistic leaders do. Covenant or “True spiritual leaders give their lives for the sheep in the same way the Lord Jesus did” (Mattera, 2013 para. 6) while on the other hand the “narcissistic leaders will fleece the sheep and financially jeopardize their organizations for the sake of their own self-indulgent lifestyles” (Mattera, 2013 para 6). Narcissistic leaders will blame those around them when the decisions and choices they make fail while covenant leaders take accountability for the choices that are made. Narcissistic leaders lack empathy, or compassion for others
Grojean, Resick & Diskson (2004) suggest that leaders are responsible for facilitating their follower’s to become capable and guide them to improving their capabilities and strengths. Differentiating between different leadership styles can be done in a number of ways. It was determined that the traditional styles of leaders include authoritian (autocratic), democratic, permissive (laissez-faire) and bureaucratic (Viinamäki, 2009).
From a business perspective, the ramifications of leadership failure differ in size depending on the severity of the situation. If market conditions are fixed and the competitive atmosphere is not extraordinarily punishing, leadership failures may not be that bad for the business. If, however, the market is going through dramatic change, which demands equally dramatic change in the organization, failure to
The single most important component associated with managing a successful organization, entails the empowerment of employees. People that are empowered are able to make smart decisions without always having to rely on authority, to point them in the right direction. Creating an empowered organization involves interest in the workplace; minimal absence from work, high retention rates; loyal and motivated team members; as well as efficient results and effective communication amongst team members. In the book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
To ensure the long term success of an organisation, strong clinical governance infrastructure needs to be put in place from the service’s inception. Clinical governance refers to the system by which a governing body, as well as the staff of an organisation share responsibility and accountability for patient care, managing risks and instituting a system which monitors and improves standards. Within healthcare organisations clinical governance aim to develop an environment and processes in which the quality of care delivered within a system is continuously improved(1) with a goal to maintaining and improving standards of clinical practice, while dealing with failures in standards of care and poor performance within the system. Many aspects fall under the umbrella of clinical governance, with the WHO defining quality into four aspects; professional performance (technical quality), resource use (efficiency), risk management (the risk of injury or illness associated with the service provided) and patient’s satisfaction with the service provided(2). This framework is appropriate in designing the clinical governance infrastructure required for the success of the new aeromedical retrieval service. This paper will look at the elements of clinical governance infrastructure that need to be developed prior to the new aeromedical service commencing operation, as well as reviewing the literature available for transport ventilators and analyse their suitability for this service.
However, unlike groupthink and aversive behaviors, which depend on the exercise of power in social interactions with others, destructive narcissistic behaviors arise from within the construct of a leader’s individual personality traits (Maccoby, 2004; Rosenthal & Pittinksy, 2006). According to Rosenthal and Pittinksy (2006), “Narcissistic leadership occurs when leaders’ actions are principally
There are good and bad leaders in every organization. This can be due to a lack of experiences, personality, or multiple other factors. If the reason a leader is not considered a good leader due to a lack of experience they can easily understand the techniques being used by the leaders around them. To know what is working for them, and what is not can be a huge advantage as a new leader begins their career. If their personality is the reason for their bad leadership, this can also be changed. It takes a lot of time and effort by the bad leader to change their personality to work with those around them. However, there are some personality traits that cannot be changed, due to their past of how
Our culture is highly influenced by television, we constantly see shows like Undercover Boss, Bad Boss, and Ect.. Most leaders are not a true reflection of the leaders portrayed on these shows and movies. Effective leaders make the best possible effort to help the company strive and compete within their realm of business. Sometimes striving for these goals leaders may fall into “bad” habits or more so known as pitfalls without realizing it, which may cause their employees to feel unwanted or unmotivated. There are a total of six pitfalls a leader can fall to; failing to provide feedback, failing to celebrate victories, showing favoritism, working employees too hard, acknowledging people only
Different types of leaders have different traits such as a narcissistic leader is egotistical; self-absorbing who basically is only concerned with their wants and needs. Covenant leaders are moral, ethical and humbly put others before themselves. Then there are the servant leaders who believe they are there to provide service to others. Anyone can be a leader, but it is in how they lead which determines the traits they carry and use. Their purpose is to lead successfully so that others may follow in their footsteps.
An effective leader influences their employees in a desired manner to achieve goals and objectives. Different leadership styles can affect an organization’s effectiveness and performance. The objective of this paper is to analyze the review of literature on various leadership styles over the past years and how effective and ineffective different leadership styles are in the workplace.
The styles today are less authoritative and more on trying to get feedback from co-workers. This change is driven by today’s individuals that want to be treated with respect and empowered to be self-driven. Today’s business environment requires managers to constantly evaluate his or her leadership style to maintain the so called competitive edge. Leadership moves through many power roles and how power vs. soft power that relates to managers as they manage people. The types of leaders are described with characteristics, as it relates to each individual. The characteristics styles that leaders show
A leader that exemplifies great leadership is not only a focus that focus on what they are doing right, but there is also a focus on what he or she is doing wrong. Leaders have habits that they practice that can be effective in their leadership and others than can cause their leadership to fail. Some leaders consistently achieve success in their organization by gaining respect, trust, and loyalty from others that they are leading. These are transparent leaders and they lead from a perspective to successful achieve positive results, while also building great work relationships with their staff. Effective leaders do not practice dismissing the viewpoints of others that are trying to express themselves, but instead they
We watched a lot of interesting videos of leaders and professors talking about the biggest mistakes that leaders can make. One thing that most of them mentioned is the importance of living up to the same moral values that they propose to subordinates. It is important to lead “from the front”, being a role model for the people who work for you. This type of leaders have significantly more chances to build a team, where people
Although, one organization can have both leadership styles at one time, but there is a phenomenon difference between the traits and attributes of both leadership styles. Both styles are critically evaluated in respect to their strengths and
