The Importance Of Being A Good And Effective Leader

The present case study outlines the importance the leadership skill and identifies it as the most sustainable competitive edge in a progressively more competitive and boundary less business world (Hoch and Dulebohn, 2013). The case study on performance coaching with reference to the role of Darcy Gallagher gives the opportunity to comprehend the qualities and skills that need to be nourished to become an effective leader. The kingpin of the case study is the important elements of competency that affect the leadership outcomes and are influenced by the individual characteristics of the leader as well. The main purpose of the Coaching Performance to be conducted at Elmwood is to develop responsiveness to coaching facilities that are available in the daily work routine and aids the mangers to identify the problems of the members, the prompt responses to address their problems and add to the contribution made for long term career growth of the leaders as well as their subordinates.

“At times of change or dealing with uncertainty or in a crisis-- that is when the best leader will shine” (Ellis, 2016). A leader who can work effectively in a complicated, unpredictable situation is a competent leader and he tirelessly works to improve his capabilities (Ledlow & Coppola, 2010). All great leaders are known for communicating effectively what they want to achieve. They are visionaries who have the ability to lead others toward a shared goal (Gibson & Weber, 2015).

What is a leader? A leader is a person who commands a group, organization, or country. Throughout my life I have encountered the chance to experience position of being a leader. I have experience democratic leaderships through playing on a high school football team, being apart of groups in college for class presentations, being a youth leader in my church, and also being apart of a family. I have gain important qualities of being a good leader through these experiences. Some of valuable leaderships traits that I obtained and strengthened are: how to be a team player, to be a better listener, to have more patience, to be not afraid of constructive criticism, to be outspoken, and to be a problem solver. Even though I have gained a lot, I

Who am I? At this point in my life I really only participate in three groups. My family, my work and my school. I do not currently choose not to participate in social circles as my family, work and school dominate the majority of my time and I dedicate the rest of my time to personal activities that are typically solo activities.

Five weeks of training seems rather lengthy, just to check off the box so one can move up in rank. At least that’s what I heard from several people in the first few days of class. While some people had their doubts as to the reasoning for this mandatory class, I held on to my optimism, knowing that this class would help better myself so that I can become a more proficient leader for the future of our Coast Guard. The Chief Petty Officer Academy focuses on leadership styles and shows you a vast array of tools so that you can be better prepared to coach and mentor the newer generations that will someday lead this great service. A few things that I will take from this course is ability to be the Chief, learning someone’s personality, and stress mapping to know when someone may need help.

After watching the six-minute video clip from “Facing the Giants,” the clip reminded me so much of persons I have had the privilege of working with, present company included, and even myself. What was most impressive was the transformational leadership style of the coach. The coach’s transformational style confirmed what I had been taught in Marine Corps boot camp about a thing called intestinal fortitude. It was drilled into us that the mind can and will give up before the heart. When it is on a person’s mind to quit, one must do like a Marine and allow the heart to kick in! Ignoring the mind has allowed numerous Marines to push themselves quite a bit farther than they thought they could go.

As community members, we have a concern that involves the upstanding of your FFA chapter as well as the National Organization. As we all know by now, you have a pregnant officer on your officer team. Frankly, as grandparents, parents, and community members, we do not consider the officer in question fit for the position. According to the Ava FFA Chapter Constitution and Bylaws, as well as the 2017-2018 Officer Contract that the officer in question was asked to sign, we can prove that she is not fit for the leadership position as an Ava FFA Chapter Officer. We are requesting that she be removed from her office position immediately. In the Ava FFA Chapter Constitution and Bylaws, it states in Article III, Section C,

Central Theme: Article one focuses on the idea that in order to have an efficient or successful environment, whether it be a business, project, or group, a leader must be effective in their way of working and addressing such environment. The first article focuses not only in what a leader needs to do but why those factors characterize an effective leader. An effective leader is someone who essentially does what needs to be done, and they complete the work needed by obtaining information, creating an action plan, by acting upon that plan, focusing on opportunities instead of problems, by working productively with others, and by incorporating others under one common purpose, plan, mission, or vision.

There is leadership in all of us, although some of us may not realize that we are capable to lead others in some degree. The world has seen its fair share of leaders, both effective and ineffective ones; some had used their leaderships in negative lights such as Manuel Noriega, former Panamanian Dictator or positive ones such as that of Franklin D. Roosevelt. [The use of the pronoun ‘his’ to refer to the leaders is incorrect. Since you discuss a variety of leaders here, it must be used in the plural form.]Despite their differences, both leaders were very effective in their crafts. One may ask “What make an effective leader?” In my opinion, communication is the key. In order for leaders to succeed, they should be able to strategically communicate to their audiences.

What are pitfalls in leadership? Pitfalls are everyday mistakes made by most, if not every leader. The mistakes are simple to make and often go unnoticed for a long time until the leader can see why the team members are suffering. Once the leader realizes their pitfall, there is an easy way to fix the problem with the way they are conducting their leadership skills. There are six main pitfalls that lead to failure in good leadership; failing to respond to employee emails, failing to provide feedback, acknowledging people only when they make

The most important trait of leadership is referent power, highlighting the ability of a leader to engage and influence others to follow. “Referent power derives from employees ' respect for a manager and their desire to identify with or emulate him or her. In referent power, the manager leads by example” (“Leadership Styles”, 2009, p.459). In order to successfully guide staff and obtain respect, one must have the ability to influence others. There is a broad range of leadership concepts; but referent power is pertinent enough to measure the success of a new leader.

There are numerous reasons why leaders succumb to pitfalls in the workplace. The best laid plans are often derailed throughout the day by continuous interruptions; such as, telephone calls, emails, business meetings, various deadlines, on-going projects, and political reasons. The leader must assess priorities that are constantly changing in order to withstand common pitfalls of leadership. These six pitfalls are the most common reasons why leaders fail: Failing to respond to employee emails, failing to provide feedback-positive or negative, acknowledging people only when they make mistakes, failing to celebrate victories, showing favoritism, and burning out employees.

As a result of this intensive session, I now have a clearer understanding of how and why my spiritual autobiography and my church context intersect in the formulation of a topical thread for my ongoing research. Likewise, from the plenary, there were a plethora of themes covered during morning sessions pertaining to the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 13, and the “Parable of the Sower.” These sessions were about growth and maturity, and had a direct connection to the adaptive challenges within my church. As leaders we must be careful not to fall into “thorn” like activity; such as being caught up in comparing one church to another, material wealth, internal politics &

When asked to envision myself in a future leadership role, the first thing that comes to mind is my future self as a first class midshipman, simply because that will be the first actual role I will get to assume. Exactly what billet I would hold is hard to say, but I do not believe the position is all that important. What is important, I feel, is how you treat those around you and those under you. However, for the sake of writing, I will assume I will be a squad leader. Throughout this course, we have discussed multiple parts of leadership that are central to being an effective leader. While each part we have studied is different, they all have the same idea: being an effective leader for your people. I will best be prepared to succeed by putting to practice these different parts and focusing on their development for the future. Specifically, those leadership traits I would aim to develop are the ability to reflect better and servant leadership.
