The Ethics Of A Leadership Program

In the second scenario, the parties in conflict are in a student-teacher relationship. Notably, the professor has the higher power in the relationship, and is better with usage of conflict styles than the student is. Furthermore, the results of the questionnaire determine that I exhibit very strong habits of collaboration in impersonal interpersonal conflict. “Integrating shows a high level of concern for one’s own goals, the goals of others, the successful solution of the problem, and the enhancement of the relationship” (Wilmot and Hocker 165), which I seem to possess even in an impersonal relationship. Particularly, the results of this situation, shows that I have strengths in avoidance, compromise, and accommodation-conflict styles. I understand my stance in this circumstance, and acknowledge the fact that I could use some improvements in these habits when dealing with conflict. Notably, the following discusses the benefits of knowing my conflict

Based on the Robert F. Kennedy High School case I feel the leadership challenges are very complex having multiple layers. As King pointed out there was no clear leadership. The leadership that was present experienced difficulties with balancing power. The assumed leaders displayed they held more clout and powers over the established leaders. There was open disagreements and lack of communication among the staff which resulted in high tensions. When looking from the human resources frame the staff, administrators and student alike were not getting their needs me. There was problems such as safety concerns that created an atmosphere of fears coupled with administrator staff that was not wanting to provide adequate safety precautions to address

My ethical philosophy of leadership would consist of different theories. I don’t believe that just one theory is right or wrong. I feel that for me to be an affective manager that I must utilize many theories to have a better understanding of how to work with my employees. However, to be that affective manger I must also understand that I will need to say “no” and sometimes be stern with my employees. I have to be strong and define myself, my values, my character as well as my beliefs. This will not only help me in the work world but also in everyday life.

We had to set an example for our peers around us and for the students that were younger than us. Leadership was taught to me by my teachers and my parents. They set the standard that I will always try to reach. Being like them will always be a goal of mine. My high school offers a leadership class that I decided to take during my senior year. Learning more about being a positive and reliable leader was something I knew would be beneficial to me before going out into the real world. Leadership class was full of the best leaders that our school has, and people who wanted to learn more about the traits that make someone a leader. From week to week, I was taught the value of being a leader and the significance of possessing those traits. Leadership class turned out to be a very positive experience, and it gave me many of the skills and traits that I will continue to carry with

On a crisp autumn day in 2016, while hidden away from the cares of my daily routine in my family room, I was called upon to elaborate on an important aspect of my life. It took some time for consideration to determine how to best portray a journey I have taken in managing conflict, as I am not a young woman. Decades filled with the blessings of being the mother of disabled children, years lived as a single parent, as well as the process of maturation, tempered by the fires of adversity, have molded me into who I am today. As I reflected, I wondered if would I know how to deal with conflict as I do now without the life experiences I have had? Certainly not! The following paragraphs will describe my primary conflict style and why I use it, how I have changed constructively in this area, how the other four styles of conflict management may serve me, and where I hope to arrive as I continue to make my way along the journey of my life.

I find that my desire to avoid can put off the wrong vibe to those under my care. The last thing I want people to think of me when it comes to conflict is that I attempt to avoid it at all cost. That can be casted in a negative light. The greatest room for improvement for me in this area is using this style more out of habit than using it when necessary. Since I scored high, there is a good chance I am overusing this style. I have to be more intentional in how I deal with conflict. Though I tend to see conflict as a disruption in the flow and the work at hand and in my opinion it causes unnecessary stress so I only attempt to address it when it is unavoidable. This can hurt my leadership position in a lot of cases and I must learn to use it

In class we defined leadership as using relationships to influence others. Before I came to the Academy I believed that a person could only lead their peers or subordinates. I did not believe that a subordinate could lead their superior. In high school I had many opportunities to develop my leadership with peers and subordinates. I was an officer of National Honor Society, and using that influence and my prior knowledge of NHS activities from the year before I was able to practice my leadership with my peers. I learned how to communicate in a manner to convince them to take action quickly, but not in a way that would seem overbearing or condescending. Furthermore, I was able to be a small group leader for a number of middle school retreats at my parish. In working with sixth grade boys I learned how to deal with insubordination and chaos, and with both of these groups of people I began to understand what was needed in a relationship between a leader and a follower. Our relationship had to be characterized by sincerity and respect. In both of these activities, those that I was leading could have easily stepped back and not paid attention to anything I was asking them to do. I had to convince them that I was absolutely dedicated to what I was trying to do, and that I had their best interest in mind. When leading middle school retreats I had to be a role model and show I valued my relationship with

When I was younger, I always thought being a leader was all about telling people what to do. Glenwood taught me that was not the case at all. Here at Glenwood, I learned to lead by example. I am the battalion commander in our military program. When I teach our new students how to do a certain commander, I demonstrate it. When I have to teach them how to make their own bed I demonstrated it. Lead by example. I as well learned how to control my emotions and when I lead to lead with my head. All leaders are not perfect. It is not the mistakes that show me who I am, but I how I deal with

Ten years ago, I was employed with my local school district a school secretary at one of the district elementary schools. On a Friday afternoon in mid-April as I prepared to complete my weeks work, my administrator called me into her office. The administrator explained that due to a cut in funding, the district issued a list of individual that would be let go at the conclusion of the school year. The individuals on the list would be allowed to interview at other schools within the district, but were not guaranteed a position for the following school year. I had worked for the district for four years at the time, however, I had the fewest years in service of any other paraprofessional on campus. My

The assessments that I have taking and given are to four of the people that have been closest to me in my lifetime. Even though we are very close, being around these individuals for a while surely brought many conflicts. Now that I was able to analyze which styles of conflict I used with each person, thanks to Wilmot’s assessments, I can now see the difference in each category of conflict. First I will be covering my own styles on how I handled any disagreements, arguments, or conflicts with my most recent ex-girlfriend Megan, and my uncle Robert (Rob). The conflicts covered will not be one single situation but rather all of them as a whole, since there were so many conflicts throughout my life with these people. I will start off with Megan. Upon completion of how I handled our conflicting situations, I was able to see that out of the

Comic books should be considered valuable resources in education because of their power to motivate students to learn. Comic books can also be used as resources to teach students about ethic and morals. Teachers who have utilized comic books or graphic novels as classroom resources have found that there is an increased level of participation in classroom activities among students which may help those teachers to motivate and instill good moral values into their students through this genre.

While I attended Wichita State University for my bachelors of Social Work, I was afforded the opportunity to participate in a leadership program two consecutive years. We learned tips on strategies to become more effective leaders. Whenever I participate in activities that require me to take a leadership or supervisory role, I tend to think of what I learned in the program. The conflict that I identified as a supervisor in this activity was mainly that we had a student with erratic behavior, with firearms at home, and a mother who not only, saw nothing wrong with it, but wanted him removed from public school and is largely uncooperative with the school regarding his psych eval.

For this assessment, the industry is defined as the handful of top business schools within the world that provide elite MBA degrees to Executives.

There are four distinct conflict styles which are the levels of assertiveness and cooperativeness that are employed by a person in a conflict situation. Everyone has their own individual conflict style; my own style tends to be accommodating. This means that I am not very assertive and I am very good at cooperating with those I am in conflict with. In this essay I will examine each conflict style and my own choice of style and why I tend to default to this style. I will also examine whether or not my choice of the accommodating style is the best approach to resolving conflict, and discuss the advantages of learning to use each of the styles in specific situations.

Ethical leadership is leadership that is involved in leading in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of others. As leaders are by nature in a position of social power, ethical leadership focuses on how leaders use their social power in the decisions they make, actions they engage in and ways they influence others. Leaders who are ethical demonstrate a level of integrity that is important for stimulating a sense of leader trustworthiness, which is important for followers to accept the vision of the leader.
