The Wing Safety Office At Xyz Afb

The intention of this paper is to introduce my leadership philosophy. I will start off defining leadership as well as explaining my leadership philosophy. I will then share a summary of an interview with a Squadron Commander about a difficult situation that he needed to use his philosophy to work through and analyze how my philosophy applies to the same situation followed by a brief summary.

In Col J. William DeMarco’s essay, Leadership Philosophy 101: Who Are You?, he states that every leader must have a direction and a personal vision. Col DeMarco calls this concept “Leadership Philosophy,” a concept which resonates through many of the assigned readings. My personal philosophy focuses on servant leadership at its core. Servant leadership is defined as “serving subordinates as much, or more, than they serve their bosses.” Servant leaders don’t stay behind desks, they address the needs of their Airmen, and take care of them like family. The commander interview highlights the critical nature of this leadership method. This paper will compare my personal philosophy with those of my commander and his past leadership crisis

Toxic leadership and climate defines the critical leadership problem within 4th ABCT. In conjunction, a lack of care for Soldiers and their families, favoritism, SHARP issues, and hazing have caused a unit to lose all trust in the previous Command Team. To correct these issues I will develop and implement my vision and a way ahead for the BCT using the 7 Step Model. Furthermore, I will place a great deal of emphasis on a specific portions of the Rocket Model, Organizational Culture “Iceberg”, and correcting the Five Dysfunctions of a Team

In the assigned readings there three viewpoints about leadership are presented: transformational leadership; the warrior ethic; and a blending of transformational and warrior leadership. All three bring forth a number of differing opinions and perspectives on leadership and how it pertains to the CAF.

There are many models of leadership that exist across a range of fields (e.g. social work, education, psychology, business, etc.). The ability to transform an organization successfully requires a different set of attitudes and skills. Transformational leadership is an approach where a leader utilizes inspiration, charisma, individualized attention, and intellectual stimulation with their employees (Iachini, Cross, & Freedman, 2015, p. 651). Transformational leadership helps to clarify organizational vision, inspires employees to attain objectives, empowers employees, encourages employees to take risks, and advocates the seeking of alternative solutions to challenges in the workplace (Transformational Leadership, 2015). It allows the leader to engage and motivate each follower identify with the organization’s values and goals.

When an organization wants to better and improve itself the leadership is the most important resource available. They are the rock of the organization and the engine that pulls the weight of the cars. In order for the organization to help grow a comprehensive leadership development plan must be established and used. A leader can make or break the organization as they are the ones that make things happen or let things fail. This paper will discuss how the Mississippi Army National Guard (MSARNG) can grow their leadership by creating a new leadership development plan using new strategies and objective.

Mission Command The purpose of this paper is to describe how I will utilize some of the principles of mission command to build leaders that act on disciplined initiative and can operate without the commander’s supervision to reach the desired end state. Today, mission command plays a vital role in our modern military force; it provides the subordinates with the ability to function on their own. This gives them the capacity to tackle particular problems and accept prudent risks to reach the commander’s desired end state. Some of the principles that I will be talking about in this paper are; build cohesive teams through mutual trust, create shared understanding, exercise disciplined initiative.

MEI can improve this process during bi-monthly company-wide safety meetings and through the meetings of the Safety Committee. MEI Supervisors shall assist all employees in the proper completion of FSO forms. MEI Safety Personnel can also assist an employee when on field visits or whenever the employee returns to the office. The observer must be trained so that they can:

Several leadership qualities listed in the Army Leadership module were to be courageous rather than passive, to adjust ones actions according to circumstance, the power of collective leadership. Courage is the decision to take action during stressful times, rather than be passive to its effects. With practice, a courageous leader not only betters their ability to lead under pressure, but strengthens their confidence and consistency of thoughtful action under pressure. Situational leadership is related to this, in the ways that not all stressful situations are the same. A situational leader must be trained to confront complex problems with understanding and an open mind. Collective leadership expresses a goal that is shared amongst leaders at

Everyone works as an individual in the office rather than as a team that shares a drive to accomplish the mission together. There are no personal or public recognitions of accomplishments, no time allotted for morale events and no real interest in knowing who each individual is or what they stand for. Unfortunately, this is a shared problem among other field offices at other districts who fall under this same command. HSWL parent command and field offices must be able to communicate and do so effectively in order to bypass this leadership challenge and in this way revitalize the value of our overall mission of safety and health for those we

Effective leadership involves using the right leadership style at the right time by adjusting the leadership behavior and approach to match the needs of those being led (Hersey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2008). Beck (2014) stated that “great leaders act one way in one set of circumstances and a completely opposite way under different circumstances” (p. 16). There are leadership styles that may be extremely effective and helpful in some situations, yet a hindrance in others (Mohamed, 2014). Based upon the findings of a case study performed by Rashid, Edmondson, and Leonard (2013) entitled “Leadership Lessons from the Chilean Mine Rescue”, the purpose of this paper is to present the JKD Corporation leadership team with some best practices in leadership, particularly in dynamic environments/situations.

Most imperative to an organization’s success is the achievement of each employee’s goals as a part of the whole. Clearly it is evidenced that transformational leadership is an effective means by which leaders help others become more valuable and productive in their roles in the organization. Why do some organizations excel at implementing productive leadership elements and others fail? Perhaps they fail to recognize the value of one single solitary individual and their influence as part of the whole, and this attitude should be changed. Certainly, the discussion regarding inherent leadership traits that produce the greatest amount of influence in an organization will continue, especially as more research is conducted regarding the

Leadership comes in many facets. It is important to pick the right leadership depending on the situation. In this paper the key leadership that will be discussed is transformational leadership. Transformational leadership is a leadership style that has been adopted by a lot of individuals in the 21st Century. It is also a leadership style that leaders in the military have utilized to effectively train new Soldiers. Throughout this paper I will speak about the implementations of the transformational leadership style, the different attributes that are associated with it, and characteristics and qualities of my supervisor. My supervisor was given a leadership scorecard to self-assess her how leadership
