What Makes A Good Leader?

Every person has a different definition of what makes a leader. Some feel a leader is inspirational, while others regard leadership as someone who can give criticism and make the tough decisions. Each definition is unique, and each is vague. This is why the definitions of leadership people use aren’t always accurate. Bolman and Deal, however, do an excellent job of presenting four frames of leadership people use to successfully—or unsuccessfully—support and lead a group of people. The four frames presented by the authors are: human resource, symbolic, structural, and political. The human resource frame is used by leaders to empathize with their followers, the symbolic frame is used to inspire and unite followers around a vision, the structural frame is used to emphasize the importance of a process, and the political frame establishes competition and focuses on creating allies.

I expect every member to operate in alignment of our core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to duty. A high level of mutual trust and respect is an instrumental requirement to have a good leadership experience. In addition, I pride myself in saying and demonstrating that I have done everything I am asking of my shipmates as well. If a problem can’t be solved I am the type of person to ask questions enabling my team to half step and recognize the problem, putting them on the right path to success or provide on the spot training if needed. It is fundamental to lead by example, for instance completing physical fitness activities, volunteering for outreach opportunities, and the same types of extra command sponsored committees you are asking your shipmates to volunteer for. As long as the trust factor is 100% I am a firm believer of stating objectives and boundaries, then empowering people to do the right thing, while occasionally verifying folks are on the right track. As part of my role as a senior leader I also make a point to work harder than ever to provide opportunities to further diversify my crew's knowledge and skills through new personal and professional training, or special projects, while also doing everything I can to support them while they feverishly lay it all on the line to support

A leader should always know how to empower those around them. If a sailor is doing the bare minimum than one must ask themselves what am I doing that may not be motivating this

What makes a good leader? This is a question asked constantly, especially in the educational fields, and especially by the film Dead Poets Society. This film is a portrayal of the battle between the modern view of leadership and the traditional, as it clashes in a prep school with unruly teenage boys. Here we see a struggle between a young teacher with a new vision and the leaders of a school with principles it has followed for years. In the midst of this struggle we also see the next generation of leaders rise up and fall. This is a representation of leadership at its best, and its worst, and sometimes it falls somewhere in-between. However, the main theme of this movie is the stark contrast between two leadership styles. These leadership

What qualities make a good leader? You can ask a hundred different people, and you will get a hundred different answers. A good leader is someone who accomplishes the mission, has the respect of their subordinates, and makes the difficult decisions when needed. For me, I believe that a great leader needs to have a variety of qualities, but most importantly a sense of fairness, hard work/care, and common consideration for others. Different experiences throughout my life and time at West Point have lead me to believe that these three tenants are what are most needed for a great leader.

These leaders aren’t at all from the same era, Plato was about 400 BC, Marcus about 200 common era, and Machiavelli about 1450 AD. These leaders all have different leading methods and show them through their writings. Of these three leaders I believe Marcus Aurelius is the better leader of the three. Marcus just like Machiavelli was an actually leader. Their ideas are is it better to be feared or love? Marcus thinks love, well Machiavelli thinks feared. The Plato side, is Platonism which is basically go with the flow type of leading, if you can’t control don’t worry about it. Unlike the first two Plato was never an actual leader. There are clearly different ways in which these leaders lead, they all have made clear texts for each style.

What is a good leader? What does it mean to be a good leader? Echoing the words of one of my mentors, Sean Paul Godeá: “A good leader is a servant, one who steps back to help and inspire others to reach their full potential”. This philosophy is one that I embrace dearly. A leader is not the alpha; he creates the alpha within others.

In this essay, I shall further analyze the concept of leadership, through both personal anecdotes and events that occur within Burton’s book.

Casual observation over thirty years of a business career has gotten me interested in the dynamics of leadership. Empirical data suggests that employees with good managers or leadership thrive, while employees with bad managers or leadership suffer. Researchers have long wondered about what makes a good or bad leader. Since Thomas Carlyle’s “great man” theory“ (Carlyle, 1840), which led to Trait theory in the 1920-30, through Behavioral theory and into current times when most researchers focus on the relationships between leader and follower, researchers have been trying to understand the dynamics of good vs. bad leadership (Ashforth, 1994; Bennis 1959; Cowley, 1931; Skinner, 1953; Stogdill, 1948).
