Now is the time when most of you are working on your final papers .docxcherishwinsland
Now is the time when most of you are working on your final papers for your BUS 119 course. I wanted to encourage you, acknowledge that this is a challenging assignment, and I wanted to give you a little help.
1) As you determine what kind of leader you're recruiting for in this paper, consider the parameters set down in the assignment -- justify the qualities you are seeking with a rationale that points back to the specific needs of the organization. If you say you are looking for a task-oriented leader, tell me what it is about the organization that requires this kind of leader. The announcement I posted last week covers this in depth.
2) Don't be afraid to get creative. Add more parameters -- is this a company that's had problems with community relations in the past? Has there been a major scandal to deal with in the past five years? Has a new competitor entered the marketplace? The more you can describe your company, the more you will be able to target the kind of leader you will need. The more creative you are, the higher your critical thinking score will probably be. Again, I know I've already said this, but I think it bears repeating.
3. If you need help creating citations for the sources on your reference page, or for in-text citations, you might try an automatic citation generator like
www.citationmachine.net (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Just know that in order to get a correct citation on a site like this, the information you put into the generator must be correct.
4) For help with other aspects of APA style, you can go to the Library and Writing Center on the left side of your course home page. There's all kinds of other writing help there, as well.
5) For more help with writing, go the the Course Resources link on the left side of your course home page, where you'll find Writing Reviser and turnitin. I've mentioned these resources to you once before, but now may be the critical time when you need it.
6) Here's a sample paper (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. that uses APA formatting.
7) Be sure to review the grading rubric. It will help you cover all the points that will be scored on your paper.
https://ashford.waypointoutcomes.com/assessment/4681/preview (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
The BEST of luck, everyone; I can't wait to read your papers. Have fun with this and write something that will make me laugh or cry or care!

Module 1 - Case
Leadership Traits, Behaviors, and Styles
Assignment Overview
All of you have probably read quite a bit about the world’s wealthiest man—Bill Gates. But some of you are probably not nearly as familiar with Bill Gates’s main rival and world’s seventh wealthiest man—former Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. Ellison recently retired as CEO but is still active as the chair of Oracle’s board of directors. Unlike Gates, who is relatively reserved, Ellison is known for his extravagant lifestyle and boastful interviews.
The rivalry between Ellison and Gates is legendary, but not quite as much is known about Ellison’s leadership style. He has been described as a “jerk,” and his managerial style has been described as “take no prisoners.” While he is unquestionably a very strong leader, he has also been criticized for spending a lot of time playing golf while leaving many leadership duties to his subordinates.
For this assignment, read up on leadership traits, leadership behaviors, and leadership styles in the required background materials. Then read up on Larry Ellison and find as much as you can about his personality and leadership style. Finally, try to apply what you’ve read in the required background materials about leadership traits, behaviors, and styles to what you found out about Larry Ellison.
Here are some articles to get you started on your research about Ellison:
Mendleson, R. (2010, November 8). Why it pays to be a jerk. Canadian Business, 83, 28-30, 32, 34. [ProQuest]
Leibovich, M. (2000, October 30). The outsider, his business and his billions series. The Washington Post, p. A1. [ProQuest]
Hymowitz, C. (2005, July 12). Working fewer hours is hard for most CEOs, but some find a way. Wall Street Journal, p. B1.[ProQuest]
Case Assignment
Once you are finished with your research on Ellison and have thoroughly reviewed the background materials on leadership traits, behaviors, and styles, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the questions below. For each answer, make sure to cite at least one of the Case Assignment articles listed on this page as well as one of the required textbook chapters from the background materials—for example, Hiriyappa (2009), or Bauer and Erdogan (2012).
1. How would you describe Ellison’s personality and leadership traits? Refer to the specific leadership traits discussed in Hiriyappa (2009) or Bauer and Erdogan (2012).
2. Would you describe Ellison’s behavior as being task-oriented, or people/relationship-oriented? Refer to Hiriyappa (2009) and Bauer and Erdogan (2012).
3. How would you describe Ellison’s leadership style? Consider the leadership styles discussed in the “Types of Leaders/Leadership Styles” section of Chapter 10 of Hiriyappa (2010).
Assignment Expectations
· Follow the assignment instructions closely and follow all steps listed in the instructions.
· Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials

Name:
James Burke (Partnership for a Drug Free America)
Why you selected them:
I chose James Burke because he had a deep concern back in 2012 of an epidemic of illicit drug use that was and is becoming wide spread and had an urge for a drug free America. Having young children myself and constantly being in fear of them learning about drugs and constantly fearing that they may or may not experiment with them this “Leader” jumped out to me and I really want to get to know more about him and his motivations and the things that he has accomplished.

Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources Sou.docxanhlodge
Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources
Source type What is it? Examples Best used for
Scholarly
A source written by scholars or academics in a
field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is
to report on original research or
experimentation in order to make such
information available to the rest of the
scholarly community. The audience for
scholarly sources is other scholars or experts
in a field. Scholarly sources include references
and usually use language that is technical or at
a high reading level.
*Note: Different databases may define
“scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus
a source that is considered “scholarly” in one
database may not be considered “scholarly” in
another database. The final decision about
the appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
Scholarly Journals
• Journal of Management Information
Systems
• American Journal of Public Health
• Early Childhood Research Quarterly
Scholarly Books (published by a university
press or other high-quality publisher)
• Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and
Society in the Modern World
• The Grand Design: Strategy and the
U.S. Civil War
• The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise:
Molecules That Move Us
Journal articles:
• Recent research on a topic
• Very specific topics or narrow
fields of research
• NOT good for an introduction to
or broad overview of a topic
Books:
• In-depth information and research
on a topic
• Putting a topic into context
• Historical information on a topic
Peer Reviewed
A publication that has gone through an official
editorial process that involves review and
approval by the author’s peers (experts in the
same subject area). Many (but not all)
scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
*Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed,
some types of articles within that journal may
not be peer reviewed. These might include
editorials or book reviews.
**Note: some publications (such as some
trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not
scholarly. This is not common.
See “Scholarly Journals” above
Books go through a different editorial process
and are not usually considered to be “peer
reviewed”. However, they can still be
excellent scholarly sources.
See above
Credible
A source that can be trusted to contain
accurate information that is backed up by
evidence or can be verified in other trusted
sources. Many types of sources can fall into
this category.
*Note: The final decision about the
appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
See above. Also:
• Newspapers
• Magazines
• Books
• Trade journals or publications
• Government websites
• Websites from educational
institutions (like universities)
• Websites or other publications from
reputable organizations (like the Mayo
Clinic)
• Encyclopedias (general or subject)

For this assignment, read up on leadership traits, leadership behaviors, and leadership styles in the required background materials. Then read up on Larry Ellison and find as much as you can about his personality and leadership style. Finally, try to apply what you’ve read in the required background materials about leadership traits, behaviors, and styles to what you found out about Larry Ellison.

Once you are finished with your research on Ellison and have thoroughly reviewed the background materials on leadership traits, behaviors, and styles, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the questions below. For each answer, make sure to cite at least one of the Case Assignment articles listed on this page as well as one of the required textbook chapters from the background materials—for example, Hiriyappa (2009), or Bauer and Erdogan (2012).

Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources
Source type What is it? Examples Best used for
Scholarly
A source written by scholars or academics in a
field. The purpose of many scholarly sources is
to report on original research or
experimentation in order to make such
information available to the rest of the
scholarly community. The audience for
scholarly sources is other scholars or experts
in a field. Scholarly sources include references
and usually use language that is technical or at
a high reading level.
*Note: Different databases may define
“scholarly” in slightly different ways, and thus
a source that is considered “scholarly” in one
database may not be considered “scholarly” in
another database. The final decision about
the appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
Scholarly Journals
• Journal of Management Information
Systems
• American Journal of Public Health
• Early Childhood Research Quarterly
Scholarly Books (published by a university
press or other high-quality publisher)
• Shari’a Politics: Islamic Law and
Society in the Modern World
• The Grand Design: Strategy and the
U.S. Civil War
• The Hidden Mechanics of Exercise:
Molecules That Move Us
Journal articles:
• Recent research on a topic
• Very specific topics or narrow
fields of research
• NOT good for an introduction to
or broad overview of a topic
Books:
• In-depth information and research
on a topic
• Putting a topic into context
• Historical information on a topic
Peer Reviewed
A publication that has gone through an official
editorial process that involves review and
approval by the author’s peers (experts in the
same subject area). Many (but not all)
scholarly publications are peer reviewed.
*Note: even though a journal is peer reviewed,
some types of articles within that journal may
not be peer reviewed. These might include
editorials or book reviews.
**Note: some publications (such as some
trade journals) can be peer reviewed but not
scholarly. This is not common.
See “Scholarly Journals” above
Books go through a different editorial process
and are not usually considered to be “peer
reviewed”. However, they can still be
excellent scholarly sources.
See above
Credible
A source that can be trusted to contain
accurate information that is backed up by
evidence or can be verified in other trusted
sources. Many types of sources can fall into
this category.
*Note: The final decision about the
appropriateness of a given source for a
particular assignment is left to the instructor.
See above. Also:
• Newspapers
• Magazines
• Books
• Trade journals or publications
• Government websites
• Websites from educational
institutions (like universities)
• Websites or other publications from
reputable organizations (like the Mayo
Clinic)
• Encyclopedias (general or subject)

Talk about the wars of the United States.
C.
What were the outcomes of some of those wars?

1.
Cost of war.
2.
Using money in other Departments other defense.
3.
Killing innocent civilians and soldiers.
4.
Helping unknown rebels
5.
Involvement of foreign wars
IV.
Arguments:
A.
The cost of war is rising by the minute. The Obama Administration proposed a budget of $553 billion dollars for the department.
B.
Instead of spending all that money on war, we should be investing that money on health care and education.
C.
This conflict has caused the lives of many innocent civilians. NATO openly admitted to have killed innocent civilians, due to misguidance.
D.
The rebels fighting against Gaddafi are in need of military supplies. I don’t think that it is a good idea to help unknown rebels. We helped the Afghanistan rebels when they were fighting Russia. After they were victorious, they later became the “Taliban” and used those weapons to attack the US.
E.
Getting involved in foreign wars is not a good idea. The US has been involved in many foreign wars lately. These wars have been in foreign countries where Islam is the prominent religion. Libya is one of these countries. The involvement of the US in these places, builds a bad reputation worldwide and among the Muslim community.
V.
Refutation:
A.
Gaddafi’s actions against the civilians of Libya are totally wrong. Killing your own people is bad and therefore, we should help the rebels overthrow him.
B.
Gaddafi has been in power for many years. In fact, he holds the record for most years in power in a single country. This type of power can potentially lead to corruption and mistreatment of civilians.
C.
The people of Libya deserve to have democracy. They should have the right to elect their own leader.
D.
If Al Qaeda is threatening NATO and Libyan mercenaries then we should help them fight terrorism.
VI.
Conclusion:
A.
Summarize my arguments.
B.
State why we should not get involve with Libya’s conf.

According to Aristotle, virtues are traits of character that are good for a person to have and that are developed through habitual actions over time. Acting virtuously leads to morally correct actions. The document discusses Aristotle's view of virtue ethics and how it differs from normative moral philosophy by focusing on the character of the moral agent rather than just determining the right action. It asks how virtue ethics would analyze two different medical ethical dilemmas.

Title: Rebellious Libya
Thesis: The United States should not get involved with Libya’s conflicts.
I.

Talk about the wars of the United States.
C.
What were the outcomes of some of those wars?

Cost of war.
2.
Using money in other Departments other defense.
3.
Killing innocent civilians and soldiers.
4.
Helping unknown rebels
5.
Involvement of foreign wars
IV.
Arguments:
A.
The cost of war is rising by the minute. The Obama Administration proposed a budget of $553 billion dollars for the department.
B.
Instead of spending all that money on war, we should be investing that money on health care and education.
C.
This conflict has caused the lives of many innocent civilians. NATO openly admitted to have killed innocent civilians, due to misguidance.
D.
The rebels fighting against Gaddafi are in need of military supplies. I don’t think that it is a good idea to help unknown rebels. We helped the Afghanistan rebels when they were fighting Russia. After they were victorious, they later became the “Taliban” and used those weapons to attack the US.
E.
Getting involved in foreign wars is not a good idea. The US has been involved in many foreign wars lately. These wars have been in foreign countries where Islam is the prominent religion. Libya is one of these countries. The involvement of the US in these places, builds a bad reputation worldwide and among the Muslim community.
V.
Refutation:
A.
Gaddafi’s actions against the civilians of Libya are totally wrong. Killing your own people is bad and therefore, we should help the rebels overthrow him.
B.
Gaddafi has been in power for many years. In fact, he holds the record for most years in power in a single country. This type of power can potentially lead to corruption and mistreatment of civilians.
C.
The people of Libya deserve to have democracy. They should have the right to elect their own leader.
D.
If Al Qaeda is threatening NATO and Libyan mercenaries then we should help them fight terrorism.
VI.
Conclusion:
A.
Summarize my arguments.
B.
State why we should not get involve with Libya’s conf.

With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 1
Leadership Development
Capstone Research Paper
PO Adam Bradford
National Tactical Officers’ Association Command College
Abstract
In this research paper, the author will discuss the importance of
14. leadership development during the early stages of all SWAT
Operators on the team. The author will also discuss various
leadership principles that apply to the tactical leadership and
development of young and old leaders on the team. The author
will reference numerous articles and books researched while
developing this research paper. Lastly, the author will discuss
the argument presented by some that leadership should not be at
the forefront until an Operator has been on the team and
"earned" his or her spot as a leader. By the end of this article,
the author hopes to clarify to the reader how crucial it is to
develop leaders sooner rather than later.
Leadership development is likely one of the most popular topics
among SWAT teams around the nation. Throughout this article,
the author intends to discuss the importance of leadership
development almost immediately after new Operators have made
it through the indoctrination process. The author also intends to
discuss the various leadership principles he believes are most
important when developing a new leader. Lastly, the author
hopes to dispel a common myth, that leaders should be
developed at the later stages of one's SWAT career.
As a SWAT Operator, the author believes everyone on the
team is a leader, from day one. It is common to hear SWAT
15. teams say we want “thinkers”, the issue the author has found is
no one wants to take to time to develop young Operators
properly. Developing leaders should be one of the most
important aspects when developing new Operators. When given
a task or mission it is imperative the Commander, Assistant
Commander, and Team Leaders believe all their subordinates
can follow through and accomplish such task or mission. The
most damaging aspect of leadership is micromanaging. As a
leader, when you micromanage, you remove any ability for your
subordinate to think through the issue at hand. This is why it is
important to allow them to make decisions. Comment by
Selleg, Jeff: Should have citation. Who says this is the most
damaging aspect? Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing Citation
In a training environment, this holds, as making a mistake in a
training environment is much more acceptable than on an actual
mission. The purpose of training is to improve upon one's
weaknesses. As leaders, we all have weaknesses and areas that
can be improved upon. The issue, if we as leaders do not allow
our subordinates to lead in training, allow them the opportunity
to fail in a controlled environment, they may never get better.
In Lincoln on Leadership the author spoke of "Lincoln
Principles", which stated, "If you are a good leader when your
work is done, your aim fulfilled, your people will say, we did
this ourselves." He also wrote "Try not to feel insecure or
threatened by your followers" Phillips, D. (1992). The message
here is simple, allow your subordinates to do their job, and if
they excel, even past your expectations, as a leader one should
not feel threatened, they should be proud. This would only
demonstrate that you as a leader have done your job properly by
developing your subordinates and allowing them to lead.

Needs to be repeated through out.
Often Operators spend numerous years on a SWAT team
16. before they are allowed to lead, even if only during a training
evolution. As Commanders and Team Leaders you are failing
your subordinates if you do not allow them the opportunity. As
mentioned earlier the author will discuss developing leaders as
soon as they are on the team and out of their probation period.
This can be accomplished by building in classes during a
training day, even if there is only time for a one hour class at
the beginning of the training day. Many topics can be discussed
during this time and all will benefit. Comment by Selleg,
Jeff: Missing citation, says Who?
The author believes each SWAT team should have specific
leadership principles written out that all Operators can access.
By having leadership principles specific to the team it allows a
defined attainable and measurable goal. The issue most teams
have is they lack defined goals for their teams. Examples of
leadership principles can vary, depending on what is most
important to each Commander. Referencing The Founding
Fathers on Leadership, the author stated the following “Have a
pretty good idea of where you want to go before you act or
attempt to inspire others.” Phillips, D. (1997). The message here
is simple, as leaders everyone needs to be on the same page and
agree on the principles which they want to build their team on.
Once all the command staff has agreed on the mission statement
and leadership principles they can disseminate it down to the
lowest level. They can then begin to develop leaders at all
levels, in turn allowing for a more successful SWAT team.

Phillips also wrote, “Make your vision simple and clear so that
everyone may understand it. Begin communicating your vision
slowly and softly so that others may first think it over. Invite
17. people to participate in your vision, building it with their own
hands, on the broadest possible foundation.” Phillips, D. (1997).
As a leader, the mission statement must be clear, concise, and to
the point. There cannot be any room for interpretation, as that
will cause doubt among your subordinates. Once the mission
statement and leadership principles have been developed allow
your subordinates to have an open conversation among the team
on how they interpret the message. This in itself will be a
lesson or even the beginning of the leadership development for
the young Operators. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Direct

Once an Operator has successfully made it through the
indoctrination process, and finished their probation period, they
are now considered a SWAT Operator. With this title, for most
departments, they will be the ones Patrol Officers turn to for
answers when dealing with difficult calls to service. Most
SWAT teams across the nation are considered "part-time",
meaning they have other duties, considered primary duties, with
SWAT being a secondary duty and voluntary. Since most teams
across the nation are part-time teams, all Operators must begin
leadership development early on. These young Operators may
be asked by senior Police Officers, Sergeants, Lieutenants,
Captains, for advice on how to best resolve an issue on patrol.
If the young SWAT Operator is not developed properly they
may fall short, or be incapable of providing the correct course
of action. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Should be collateral duty,
no one is on a part time team. Comment by Selleg, Jeff:
Mission citation. Who says collateral duty teams require
immediate leadership development. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Is
this leadership training or training in tactical resolution of in
progress incidents?
As mentioned earlier let us discuss leadership in training.
All Commanders and Team Leaders should take advantage of
18. every training hour provided. Allow your subordinates to run
through scenarios, make their own decisions, and succeed or
fail. Once the scenario is complete allow them to explain their
mindset and decision making throughout the process. If there is
a mistake made, try and walk them through the mistake, and if
possible, allow them to conclude on their own. By doing this it
allows the Operator an opportunity to reflect, acknowledge, and
correct any issue they may have had. If they run through a
scenario with little to no issues praise them. Many leaders fail
to realize the positive impact praise has on their subordinates.
People strive to be perfect; if they are constantly beaten down
and only told what they are doing wrong they will eventually
give up and stop trying to lead. Comment by Selleg, Jeff:

this is standard adult learning theory, but which theorist is the
author crediting.
There are numerous times as a leader you may not have the
best answer to a solution. As stated in It’s Our Ship: The No-
Nonsense Guide to Leadership Abrashoff states “As a leader,
you don’t know everything, you don’t always have the best
ideas,” Abrashoff, D.M.(2008). This reinforces the concept that
as a leader you should be open to suggestion. As a leader, you
must allow your subordinates to provide perspective. It is also
crucial as a leader you can control your subordinates when there
is no time for recommendations and decisions must be made
your subordinates understand and can execute without question.
When developing your subordinates as leaders it is your
responsibility to educate them. Part of educating is
demonstrating the ability to be led and empowering your
subordinates. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing page number

Paul Howe, Leadership and Training for the Fight stated:
"We have all seen the typical movie roles of the leader out
front, leading the bayonet charge into the enemy. It is a
technique, one that I don't recommend. Effective combat
leadership should empower the fighting troops to take initiative
19. and decisive action at the lowest level to support the common
goal. Leaders that have properly trained troops and have
confidence in their tactics and capabilities are not afraid to do
this. Not all troops are up to this level, but this is where we
should strive to be." Howe, P.R. (2011). Comment by Selleg,

This goes back to what the author mentioned earlier with
developing one SWAT Operators as leaders once they have
finished their probation. By putting in the extra time, allowing
your subordinates to develop as leaders, it will, in turn, benefit
you as a Commander/Team Leader, by developing a sense of
trust in your subordinates. If, as a leader, you are constantly
looking over your subordinate's shoulder it will eventually
cause the subordinate to doubt themselves. In turn, without
even realizing it, you are crippling that Operator and any chance
they had in becoming a leader or a thinker. Comment by

Earlier we talked about “leading by being led”. In Lincoln
on Leadership, Phillips, D. (1992) mentioned Lincolns approach
“was to always give credit where credit was due and,
conversely, to accept responsibility when things went wrong.”
As a leader not only does this keep you honest and on point, but
it also allows your subordinates a perception of where they are.
If a subordinate fails to realize the lessons learned from such
circumstances, at minimum, it will allow the subordinate to feel
good about their work. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing
page number for direct quote
Lincoln on Leadership yielded many useful tips as far as
developing your subordinates as leaders. Again, referencing the
material read, Phillips, D. (1992) Lincolns principles hold to
this day. In talking about developing leaders we can reference
the following "Try not to feel insecure or threatened by your
followers, and the greatest credit should be given to those in
your organization who render the hardest work." The author
20. discussed earlier the importance of a leader not being threatened
by his/her followers. As a leader, one should be flattered if
their subordinate is excelling among their peers. This can be
considered a direct reflection of your leadership. The other
Lincoln principle referenced, rewarding those in your
organization who render the hardest work, should hold for any
organization throughout the world. Comment by Selleg, Jeff:
Missing page number for direct quotes
As a Commander/Team Leader you should always strive to
do better. With that being said, building classes/training into
the SWAT budget every year is crucial to the proper
development of your Operators. The NTOA, TTPOA, LTPOA,
and many other SWAT organizations host numerous classes
every year, all over the country. Many of these classes are
leadership development courses. As a leader, you should be
registering and sending your subordinates to these training
events to assist them in their development. Many departments
have no issue with Operators attending these courses, as it will
benefit the entire Police Department. When the Operator
returns, they can share the information learned with the rest of
their peers. By doing this the department will continue to
evolve and develop more leaders, more Officers who are
capable of executing a mission with little to no guidance.
Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing citation. Who says
As mentioned earlier, leadership principles are imperative to
the success of your team. Earlier the author mentioned
leadership principles and the fact they can vary from department
to department or SWAT team to team. The Founding Fathers on
Leadership, Phillips, D. (1997) mentions a few principles that
could be applied to any SWAT team and young Operator to
successfully develop them as leaders. “Obtain information and
make timely decisions, understand what people think and feel,
keep people informed, obtain feedback, and inspire and
motivate”. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing page numbers
for direct quotes
Let us address "obtain information and make timely decisions"
21. first. As a leader you must be in the field, with the
subordinates, gathering real-time information. Once the
information is gathered, a leader needs to have the ability to
decide to act. Another important aspect of this, while in
training, your subordinates should be put in positions that force
them to gather information quickly and efficiently, then makes
decisions. This allows them to develop a sense of confidence
and it also allows them to better understand the leader's job in
the field.
Second, “understand what people think and feel”. Phillips,
D. (1997) states in The Founding Fathers on Leadership: "If
leaders perpetually seek personal contact with people, they will
then know exactly what others think and how they feel. Therein
lies the most fundamental of all leadership principles, which
ties back to the definition of leadership: Leaders act for the
wants and needs, the aspirations and expectations of the people
they represent." As a leader, you must understand every one of
your subordinates. If you fail to do so, you fail as a leader.
Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing page number for direct
quote
The next principle mentioned, "Keep people informed". As a
leader sometimes we forget to disseminate information to the
troops. There is nothing more demoralizing then "not knowing".
This can easily be fixed by simply getting the word out to your
subordinates; in return, it will boost morale and performance.
This will motivate the troops to "want" to work for you.
Another principle mentioned is "Obtain feedback". As a leader,
if you show interest in your subordinate's opinion it gives them
a sense of empowerment and pride in the team they worked so
hard to be part of. With that being said, as a leader, it is
important to be open and receptive to new ideas and criticism.
All good leaders possess this trait and should be one of the first
lessons taught when developing young leaders on the team.
Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing citation Comment by
Selleg, Jeff: Missing citation
The last principle the author mentioned from The Founding
22. Fathers on Leadership is the ability to "inspire and innovate".
Phillips, D. (1997) states: "Being in the field allows leaders to
quickly size up a situation and implement new ideas (conjured
up from both leaders and followers) that arise in response to
specific events. It also provides many opportunities to inspire
people by reminding them what they are fighting for, by
charging into action, or by elevating the cause to a higher
plane.” Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Same incorrect citation of a
direct quote
When a leader is leading from the field, especially a pre-
planned operation, it shows the subordinates they can be
confident in the plan. It is also reassuring to your subordinates
when they see you leading from the "battlefield" instead of over
a radio. Granted, there are some situations where some leaders
will not be able to be out with the "troops". However,
confidence in a plan starts at the top and works its way down to
the most junior Operator. As a leader how can you expect your
subordinates to carry out a plan of action if you, yourself are
not confident in the abilities of your team or the plan they are
expected to execute. Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing
citation Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing citation and not
tied to a specific leadership role. Does the author mean Team
leaders or Commanders? Comment by Selleg, Jeff: Missing
citation
Throughout this paper, the author discussed the importance of
developing leaders early on in their career as a SWAT Operator.
Many points have been discussed, but it is the author's belief
the SWAT team as a whole will benefit if leadership training is
implemented early and consistently. Developing sound
leadership principles and clear guidelines for your team is
crucial to the proper development of young leaders. There are
many opportunities to provide leadership training and
opportunities for your subordinates. It is the responsibility of
the training staff and those in charge to ensure the leadership
training is executed efficiently. By doing this it will allow a
sense of trust and confidence in the abilities of every Operator
23. on the team.
