This document discusses leadership styles and organizational culture. It begins by defining leadership and describing Blake and Mouton's managerial grid model, which identifies five leadership styles based on concern for production and people. It then analyzes the leadership styles of Coach Krzyzewski and Coach Knight, concluding that Krzyzewski exemplifies team management while Knight alternates between country club management and authority-compliance. The document also examines organizational culture and the impact of different leadership approaches.

In the previous chapter, we reviewed how theorists’ view of lead-ership has changed, from the belief that leaders are simply born
to the idea that the best way to learn about leadership is to study
the behaviors or practices of people who are viewed as leaders. The-
orizing has evolved even further into an understanding of leader-
ship as a complex process. Indeed, leadership is a transforming
process that raises all participants to levels at which they can
become effective leaders.
Leadership may best be understood as philosophy. At its core,
understanding philosophy means understanding values. “Affect,
motives, attitudes, beliefs, values, ethics, morals, will, commitment,
preferences, norms, expectations, responsibilities—such are the con-
cerns of leadership philosophy proper. Their study is paramount
because the very nature of leadership is that of practical philosophy,
philosophy-in-action” (Hodgkinson, 1983, p. 202). When we exam-
ine historical leaders, we often are analyzing the values and ethics
that characterized their leadership. It is critical that we each
develop our own personal philosophy—one we hope will include
the elements of the model presented in this chapter.

Relational Leadership
Leadership has to do with relationships, the role of which cannot
be overstated. Leadership is inherently a relational, communal
process. “Leadership is always dependent on the context, but the
context is established by the relationships we value” (Wheatley,
1992, p. 144). Although a person could exert leadership of ideas
through persuasive writings or making speeches, most leadership
happens in an interactive context between individuals and among
group members. We emphasize once again: we view leadership as a
relational and ethical process of people together attempting to accomplish
positive change.
Chapter Two presented an overview of how leadership theories
and models have changed over time. These changing frameworks
are reflected in the descriptive terms that have been affixed to the
word leadership. Examples of these leadership theories and concepts
include situational, transforming, servant-leadership, authentic lead-
ership, and principle-centered leadership. We have used the term
relational leadership as a reminder that relationships are the focal
point of the leadership process.
Relational leadership involves a focus on five primary compo-
nents. This approach to leadership is purposeful and builds com-
mitment toward positive purposes that are inclusive of people and
diverse points of view, empowers those involved, is ethical, and rec-
ognizes that all four of these elements are accomplished by ...
The Study is titled ―Leadership Styles: A Case Study of Syria‖. The main objectives of the research work are to identify and then analyze the political leadership style in Syria, to generate a profile of past, current and emerging leaders of Syria, to study the reasons that led to the uprising in Syria and to assess the future consequences of the decisions taken by the Political Leadership. The study will be descriptive in nature. Keeping in mind the objectives of the study, appropriate data will be collected from people and organizations from both, official and non-official, taking a look at the current and emerging leadership Styles in Syria. Survey for the political, security and economic situation will be carried. Both primary and secondary sources of data will be used for present research. For analysis and conclusion of the results of the survey, appropriate statistical tools and analysis will be done

Abstract: Leaders play a critical role in the success or failure of their organizations. Leaders can
be effective in implementing changes, building their organization’s capabilities, and improving its
performance, or the opposite, they could be ineffective. In this systematic review, the authors aim
to summarize the findings of previous quantitative research, published between the period from
2000 to 2018, to identify the effect of various leadership styles on organizational Knowledge
management (KM) capabilities and activities. The authors reviewed 50 articles found in well-
known databases included Emerald, ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis, Ebsco, Google Scholar,
and others, concerning the impact of leadership when implementing KM in business organiza-
tions. The review revealed that transformational, transactional, knowledge-oriented leadership,
top executives, and strategic leadership have evidence of their constant and positive effect on the
KM process. The authors encourage organizations to use a combination of those styles to max-
imize the effect of leadership on KM. The authors also recommend conducting further studies
on the effect of the remaining leadership styles, such as the ethical and servant leadership styles
on KM and the other specific KM activities.

Introduction
According to the literature, KM has
a significant impact on organizational per-
formance and innovation. Researchers have
found a strong link between KM and differ-
ent aspects of management innovation that
provide an organization with a competitive
advantage. KM’s implementation in business
organizations could be affected by sever-
al factors, such as the organization culture,
budget, infrastructure, technology, and lead-
ership.
The impact of leadership on business
and organizational management has been
recognized as a significant factor that could
make a difference in organizational perfor-
mance. The academic gurus proposed sev-
eral theories, such as the great man theory,
various behavioral theories, Lewin’s theory,
the contingency theory, the situational lead-
ership theory, the transformational theory,
the transactional theory (or managerial lead-
ership), and many others.
Based on the existing literature, the out ...

Abstract
The article is based on descriptive theoretical research and focused on two notions such as ‘leadership
values’ and ‘values based leadership’. These two concepts are not compared, but every of them is
described separately by highlighting general characteristics and showing their broad complexity. Both
notions are not related to ethics and / or morality, as the aim the literature review was to provide
insights on leadership values and values based leadership. The research question was the following:
What aspects include two concepts such as ‘leadership values’ and ‘values based leadership’? Fourteen
leadership values are provided and in the summary the three unifying aspects are presented and
discussed – personality, interaction(s) and relationship(s), and action(s) / work. The common and
flexible leadership values are presented. Values based leadership is discussed generally and four
principles of this leadership are distinguished – self-reflection, balance, true self-confidence, and
genuine humility. Also positive and limiting values based leadership shortly is discussed. The
conclusion is focused on the idea that the leader needs to regain and maintain trust. Positive values
based leadership goes beyond leveraging strengths and making meaning. Values based leaders who
engage their employees and help them flourish in life. And for their organisations they boost
productivity, creativity and financial returns. Leading and evaluating success based on values is the
best way to build a high-performance culture in organisation.
Keywords: Core leadership values; Flexible leadership values; Limiting leadership values; Positive
leadership values; Values based leader; Values based leadership.
Background
‘Leadership chaos’ might be used to describe the political, social, economic, religious, and
environmental conditions for much of the first decade of the 21st Century. The difficulties faced
in all of these various domains are so drastic that it is difficult to refrain from being sarcastic
about the effectiveness and utility of what is referred to as “leadership development.” In the

Evaluation
Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations.
Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations.
Explanation of Usefulness
Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves.
Explanation of Impact
The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

1. Traditional Approaches to Leaders’ Impact on Organizations
Scores of research studies are built on the assumption that effective leadership is a key component essential for organizational success. From the battlefield to the boardroom, we are told, wins and losses are determined by decisions and behaviors of those who lead. The plethora of leadership-training programs may be an indicator that many perceive (or even assume) that there is a direct relationship between leaders and organization performance. In The Leadership Gap: Building Capacity for Competitive Advantage, Weiss and Molinaro (2005) established their premise by stating “leadership has become the primary source of competitive advantage in organizations around the world” (p. 4). These authors used case-study methods to reinforce the ideas that organizations’ lack of leadership capacity can be addressed through leadership development.
But both in research and organizations, there are those who challenge the “effective leadership = enhanced performance” supposition (Dihn, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, & Hu, 2014; Storey, 2010).
LePine, Zhang, Crawford, and Rich (2016) conducted a three-part study to test relationships among charismatic leadership, stress, and performance. Subjects were members of the United States Marine Corps. Findings suggested that charismatic leader behavior negated the negative effects of stressors on performance according to assessments by the leaders or their supervisors. And these authors found that high-level stressors were more positively viewed when charismatic leader behaviors were exhibited. However, the researchers discovered that charismatic leader behavior did not influence how Marines perceived stressors. An underlying assumption in LePine, Zhang, Crawford, and Rich’s (2016) research was that leaders do affect performance. The results, while not conclusive enough to reject the assumption, did open avenues for new dialogue and recommendations for further testing.
Dihn, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, and Hu (2014) suggested that the preponderance of research on leadership behaviors and traits may have led to assumptions about an overstated influence of the individual. In Module 1 we examined the evolution of leadership approaches from the early modern era to the postmodern era. We know that context—such as environment, capital, and goals—influences organizational design, structure, and management/leadership practices. We learned that a stable organization relies on controls to gain efficiency. Leader-centric thinking was readily accepted in the modern organization. And, research studies were designed around those assumptions, perhaps even reinforcing those assumptions.
More recently, organizations shifted structures, philosophies, and operating procedures to adapt to social, economic, political, and technological pressures. Even so, leadership researchers continued to outpace other scholars who investigated additional variables that might impact org ...

Post #1
Practical Approach
Authentic leadership is both a practical and theoretical approach to leadership. As a practical approach, authentic leaders are those that lead passionately and with purpose, act with self-discipline based on strong values, and create quality relationships (Northouse, 2016, p. 197). In other words, they have a vision and work diligently toward it, do what’s right, develop trusting and compassionate connections with others, and are self-driven.
Theoretical Approach
As a theoretical approach, authentic leadership is defined as “’a pattern of leadership behavior that draws upon and promotes both positive psychological capability and a positive ethical climate, to foster greater self-awareness, an internalized moral perspective, balancing processing of information, and relational transparency on the part of leaders working with followers, fostering positive self development’” (Northouse, 2016, p. 201). In other words, leaders can be authentic when they strongly aware of who they are, use ethical decision-making, consider all perspectives, and communicate openly with others.
Similarities
The similarities between the practical and theoretical approach are that both include the use of ethics, integrity, self-discipline and self-knowledge, and transparent relationships. Both view authentic leadership as an ongoing process.
Differences
The differences are that the practical approach is an intrapersonal perspective in that it outlines the qualities of authentic leaders and how to develop them. On the other hand, the theoretical approach is a developmental perspective that identifies the components that define and create authentic leadership.
Personal Meaning
When I think of authentic leadership, I think of leadership born of strong character and virtue, in the service of the common good. The idea of character meaning, “I must value my character, be invested in it, see it as an end in itself” (The Picket Line, n.d.). The practice of virtue in authentic leadership means being honest, trustworthy, diligent, responsible, humble, and just (The Picket Line, n.d.). When leadership is based on strong character and virtue it will lead to trusting and open connections with others. This is similar to the high-quality exchanges that Leader-Member Exchanges theory suggests should be developed.
Strategies
One strategy that leaders can use for authenticity is to continually seek personal mastery. Personal mastery is “a set of specific principles and practices that enables a person to learn, create a personal vision, and view the world objectively” (Grimsley, n.d.). As authentic leadership stems from knowing oneself, the discipline of personal mastery will help leaders reflect on life experiences to broaden their awareness of how things really are and to deepen their understanding of self.
Another strategy that can be used is being open to the ideas, feedback, and criticisms of others. There is much to learn if leaders can humble themselves.

Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Compare transformational leadership to non-leadership (laissez-faire).
•SLP ◦Explore and discuss the impact of a transactional leadership environment on the tribal stage of an organization.
•Discussion ◦Apply the situational leadership style to tribal leadership.
◦Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of using situational leadership to increase an organization’s tribal stage to the next level.
◦Apply the non-leadership factor (laissez-faire) to tribal leadership.
◦Determine whether a non-leadership style (laissez-faire) impacts an organization’s tribal leadership stage negatively or positively.
Module Overview
We are at the half-way point in the course, and it is time to change gears from traits and skills; but we will continue to apply all the concepts we are studying to tribal leadership.
For Module 3, we will focus on leadership styles, including situational leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and even non-leadership (laissez-faire).
By now, the different parts of leadership theory we have studied will start to form the basis for strategic leadership decisions, especially as they apply to tribal leadership. With a large chunk of key leadership theories under our belt, we should have no trouble beginning to discern which approaches are best in certain situations and scenarios.
Module 3 - Background
Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Style Approach
Around the same time that Katz (1955) was questioning the trait theory of leadership in favor of a more skills-based approach, Stogdill (1948) was also looking for a better model to define what makes a leader. We discussed Stogdill’s work in Module 1 (his discovery that “…the traits of leaders around the world were not distinct from the traits of non-leaders”). As we discussed, this led him to explore characteristics beyond innate traits.
As the style approach was coming into focus, several important studies were conducted to learn more about “what leaders do and how they act” (Northouse, 2018, p. 69). What leaders do is classified as task behaviors, while how leaders act is classified as relationship behaviors. Among those important studies were the Ohio State Studies, which focused on the way leaders acted when they were leading, and the University of Michigan Studies, which focused on “the impact of leaders’ behaviors on the performance of small groups” (Northouse, 2018, p. 71). While both of these studies are critical parts of understanding leadership, they are covered heavily in elementary leadership studies, and will not be further explored in the context of strategic leadership. Instead, we will move on to the prevalent style-based theories that took hold as a result of these studies and the work of Stogdill and Katz (1948; 1955).

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT:
A REVIEW IN CONTEXT
David V. Day*
The Pennsylvania State University
Interest in leadership development is strong, especially among practitioners. Nonetheless, there
is conceptual confusion regarding distinctions between leader and leadership development, as
well as disconnection between the practice of leadership development and its scientific foundation.
The present review examines the field of leadership development through three contextual
lenses: (1) understanding the difference between leader development and leadership development
(conceptual context); (2) reviewing how state-of-the-art development is being conducted in the
context of ongoing organizational work (practice context); and (3) summarizing previous research
that has implications for leadership development (research context). The overall purpose is to
bridge the practice and science of leadership development by showing the importance of building
both human and social capital in organizations. Specific practices that are reviewed include 360-
degree feedback and executive coaching, mentoring and networking, and job assignments and
action learning. Practices and research are framed in terms of a general need to link leader
development, which is primarily based on enhancing human capital, with leadership development
that emphasizes the creation of social capital in organizations.
In the traditional organization—the organization of the last one hundred
years—the skeleton or internal structure, was a combination of rank and
power. In the emerging organization, it has to be mutual understanding and
responsibility.
—Peter F. Drucker, Managing in Times of Great Change
Interest in leadership development appears to be at its zenith. One indicator of
this interest is seen in survey results highlighting the increased attention and re-
sources given to leadership development (The Conference Board, 1999). Many
organizations are viewing leadership as a source of competitive advantage and are
investing in its development accordingly (McCall, 1998; Vicere & Fulmer, 1998).

1. Traditional Approaches to Leaders’ Impact on OrganizationsSTatianaMajor22
1. Traditional Approaches to Leaders’ Impact on Organizations
Scores of research studies are built on the assumption that effective leadership is a key component essential for organizational success. From the battlefield to the boardroom, we are told, wins and losses are determined by decisions and behaviors of those who lead. The plethora of leadership-training programs may be an indicator that many perceive (or even assume) that there is a direct relationship between leaders and organization performance. In The Leadership Gap: Building Capacity for Competitive Advantage, Weiss and Molinaro (2005) established their premise by stating “leadership has become the primary source of competitive advantage in organizations around the world” (p. 4). These authors used case-study methods to reinforce the ideas that organizations’ lack of leadership capacity can be addressed through leadership development.
But both in research and organizations, there are those who challenge the “effective leadership = enhanced performance” supposition (Dihn, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, & Hu, 2014; Storey, 2010).
LePine, Zhang, Crawford, and Rich (2016) conducted a three-part study to test relationships among charismatic leadership, stress, and performance. Subjects were members of the United States Marine Corps. Findings suggested that charismatic leader behavior negated the negative effects of stressors on performance according to assessments by the leaders or their supervisors. And these authors found that high-level stressors were more positively viewed when charismatic leader behaviors were exhibited. However, the researchers discovered that charismatic leader behavior did not influence how Marines perceived stressors. An underlying assumption in LePine, Zhang, Crawford, and Rich’s (2016) research was that leaders do affect performance. The results, while not conclusive enough to reject the assumption, did open avenues for new dialogue and recommendations for further testing.
Dihn, Lord, Gardner, Meuser, Liden, and Hu (2014) suggested that the preponderance of research on leadership behaviors and traits may have led to assumptions about an overstated influence of the individual. In Module 1 we examined the evolution of leadership approaches from the early modern era to the postmodern era. We know that context—such as environment, capital, and goals—influences organizational design, structure, and management/leadership practices. We learned that a stable organization relies on controls to gain efficiency. Leader-centric thinking was readily accepted in the modern organization. And, research studies were designed around those assumptions, perhaps even reinforcing those assumptions.
More recently, organizations shifted structures, philosophies, and operating procedures to adapt to social, economic, political, and technological pressures. Even so, leadership researchers continued to outpace other scholars who investigated additional variables that might impact org ...

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

they strive willingly and enthusiastically towards attainment of group goals".
According to Yukl (1994), "leadership is a process which one member of a group influences other
group members towards attainment of specific group goals".
Thus, leadership is a process of influencing the behavior of people by making them strive
voluntarily towards achievement of organizational goals. The above definition focuses on certain
important features of leadership– Leadership indicates ability of an individual to influence others It
is a group process. A leader is of no use if he has no followers and similarly a group or an

Specifically, consideration was more strongly related to the individual. In other words, the followers
or leaders who were high in consideration were more satisfied with their jobs and more motivated
and also had more respect for their leader. Initiating structure was more related to higher levels of
group and organizational productivity and more positive performance evaluations.
In a large correlational study, Fleishman and Harris (1962) reported that turnover rate was
negatively correlated with consideration, and positively associated with initiating structure, although
they emphasized the nonlinearity of the relationships. Also grievance rates are higher when leaders
are high on initiation. "There appear to be certain critical levels beyond which increased
Consideration or decreased Initiating Structure have no effect on turnover or grievance rate." In a
summary of literature, Yukl (1989) reports that the effect of consideration has been confirmed, but
the results of studies on initiating structure have not been clear or consistent.

Introduction
We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it
in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching let him teach; if it is
encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously;
if it is leadership, let him govern diligently...
–Romans 12; 6–8
Leadership is an influence relationship between leaders and followers who intend real changes and
outcomes that reflect their shared purposes.
The explanation would be, influence is involved in leadership. Leadership is reciprocal, in many
organization the superiors influences their subordinates but in some organization subordinates
influences their superiors. Leadership involves creating change and the changes are towards the
outcome which the leaders and followers both want. An important aspect would be influencing
others to follow a common vision. Leadership is a people activity. Since leadership involves people,
there are followers. Every individual who has a great skill and is expertise in their field is a leader
for example musician, scientist, etc. In the leadership process follower is very essential. Those who
are a good leader knows how to follow, it's when they set an example for others.
There's one stereotype belief that the leaders are different and they are above all. But the thing is the

with a number of other things. This paper will examine the unique leadership approaches of two

Concern for production speaks to how a leader accomplishes organizational goals and objectives
while concern for people pays attention to the staff in the company or organization that are chartered
to reach goals (Northouse, 2013). The Leadership Grid is established by drawing the horizontal axis
representing the leader's concern for results and the vertical axis representing the leader's concern
for people. A score is assigned for each of these dimensions with a range from 1 (minimum) to 9
(maximum) concern. Plotting the respective scores from each axes provides a look at various
leadership styles. There are five styles of leadership identified: Team Management, Middle of the
Road Management, Impoverished Management, Authority–Compliance, and Country–Club
Management (Northouse, 2013).
Coach Krzyzewski embodies the Team Management approach to leading. This style focuses
particularly strong on both tasks as well as interpersonal relationships. It includes a level of
participation and teamwork that provides satisfaction for team members and their need to be
involved and committed to their work or goal. Coach Knight would be considered to have the
Paternalism style using both the Country–Club Management and Authority–Compliance models
interchangeably. This style is the "benevolent dictator" who acts graciously but does so for the
purpose of goal accomplishment (Northouse, 2013).

What is Leadership?
Leadership may be considered as the process (act) of influencing the activities of an organized group
in its efforts toward goal setting and goal achievement. (Stogdill, 1950: 3)
Leaders set a direction for us all by giving a vision .leaders inspire and encourage. Without
leaderships a group of individuals would degenerates into argument and conflict, because we see
things in different ways and lean towards different solutions. Leadership helps to point us in the
same direction and harness our efforts jointly. (Mills, 2005)

Abstract
This study presents a review of conflict management approach. It presents the various views and
definitions on conflict types of conflict. It further looks at five conflict management styles of Blake
and Mouton. In addition, it provides some insight into conflict management from a Malaysian
perspective.
Introduction Whether conflict within an organization is viewed as desirable or not, the fact is that
conflict exists and is endemic. As human beings interact in organizations, differing values and
situations create tension. Conflict is thereby viewed as a situation in which two or more individuals
operating within a unit appear to be incompatible. When such conflict is recognized, acknowledged
and managed in a proper ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Nature of conflict
Conflict arises due to a variety of factors. Individual differences in goals, expectations, values,
proposed courses of action, and suggestions about how to best handle a situation are unavoidable.
When we add to this an amount of unease because of uncertainty as to a business's future, conflict
often increases. Perhaps this is why we see such a high amount of conflict today. Changes in
technology, global shifting of power, political unrest, and financial uncertainties are facts of life.
These factors – and others – make conflict unavoidable. To some managers, this inevitable
disharmony is lamentable and should be avoided at all costs. To others, conflict presents exciting
possibilities about the future – if managed in a positive, constructive fashion.
Traditionally, conflict within an organization has been seen as a sign of a problem. Conflict meant
there were differences of opinion, alternatives which needed to be considered, and opposing points
of view to be studied. Adaptation, accommodation and flexibility are the keys to survival in such a
situation.
Organizations are often found to be in similar precarious situations, and the same survival skills
apply in the organizational environment. Changes in personnel, clientele, product line, financial
climate, and even corporate philosophy and vision will happen. A manager needs to develop flexible

26. Reflection As A Leader Essay
Every leader needs to know themselves better than they know anyone else on their team. To admit
that one has vulnerabilities means that they are not perfect so they cannot and will not expect
anyone else to be. The thing is, that leader must admit those mistakes and learn from them in order
to be able to help others to become their own type of leader within their own discipline.
Reflection as a Leader
When does one come to the realization that they are ready to be the leader of an organization? A
principal, or administrator of any kind, has to have the ability to be the final decision maker for a
group of people, but also has to inspire people and motivate them towards a common goal, such as a
vision statement.
Am I Ready?
In the article "Emotional Intelligence and School Leadership," it makes the assertion that "emotional
intelligence means having the ability to manage one's own emotions while being sensitive to the
needs of other people" (Gray, 2009). As a current curriculum writer and curriculum liaison between
the English departments on their respective campuses and the Curriculum and Instruction
Coordinator, I feel that I have handled the stresses and demands of the title with finesse and grace.
Have there been instances where things have been difficult to handle and control my emotions, yes;

management system used. I think that it was a good intend however, it is using more of human
relations than human resources. We will try to get to get this business into the human resources
management. Human relation is task– related communication is still used but it is accompaniers by
communications that attempted to maintain the quality of human relationships with the
organizations. While if using human resources you are considering interactions and input from the
employees. The reason I think Marshall is using more of a relation than a resources is because yes
he is asking for advice. however, he is still listening and doing what the actually head team wants
and not really listening to what the company needs and what the employee thinks is best. The
employee are feeling unheard and thing that it is pointless for them to be having these meeting so
they are trying to avoid them as much as possible now to get everyone involve, Marshall needs to

34. Human Error : Crew Resource Management
Since 2000, out of all the fatal accidents aviation accidents, 75% of them were caused because of
human error according to the NTSB. Human errors can occur in three different ways say Ramón L.
Rivera. He states in the article, Managing Human Error, "1. A person intends to carry out an action,
does so correctly, the action is appropriate, and the desired goal is achieved. No error has occurred.
2. A person intends to carry out an action, does so correctly, the action is inappropriate, and the
desired goal is not achieved. An error has occurred. 3. A person intends to carry out an action, the
action is appropriate, does it incorrectly, and the desired goal is not achieved. An error has
occurred." The easiest way to counter human error is through crew resource management. Crew
resource management trains people to think outside the boxes and look at the problems in different
ways. It takes daily procedures and show what the outcome is if certain action is taken. Crew
resource management was first brought to the airlines in the 1980's by United Airlines. During this
time, airlines where more focused on the management training approach; which fixates on the
concept of changing the person's behavior. United Airline's crew resource management concept was

for people and results. The Grid approach to change takes a four–step organization development
process that builds a culture of mutual trust respect and candor through discussion of personal
values, norms and behaviors against soundest behaviors needed to accomplish standard of
excellence set by participants themselves. The process begins with individual development, then

between management and unions.
The concept of strategic human resource planning is seen in the final stage of Grid approach to

forgotten. Upon return from a successful mission Savage has a run in with Pritchard. Pritchard asks
why Savage did not return when the return call was made. Savage tells him it must have been a
"radio malfunction", which it clearly was not. After an argument Savage tells Pritchard that the men
deserve recognition for their success and that there might be some "Radio Malfunctions" in the
future also. Savage is starting to move up in his relationship status while he is trying to motivate the

removed their transfer requests and they still are not exhibiting any pride in their work. Motivation

Ms. Geis feels that the communication skills that one must possess in order to make advancements

the people you work with.
Edmondson (2009) discusses four different basic communication styles. The first style is expressive
which have a tendency to speak quickly, focus on the big picture, and have a high energy level. They
can be perceived as unpredictable, vain, or excessively jovial. Next are systematic who tend to focus
on small details, not on the larger picture, and try to avoid conflicts. The third type listed is
sympathetic. These individuals focus on people and relationships. They are good listeners and so
concern for everyone's needs. Sympathetics also do not like be at odds with others. Lastly, the fourth
communication style identified is directs who generally keep dialogue short and are perceived as a
multitaskers. The study recommends that the individual discover her own communication style and
adjust the style according to the situation.

Thus, if employees are treated in a Theory X manner, they will become lazy. If they are treated in

McGregor believed that Theory Y assumptions were more valid than Theory X. Therefore, he
proposed such ideas as participation in decision–making, responsible and challenging jobs and good
group relations for maximising employee job motivation.

and review their pattern of behaviour
As I am responsible for managing a group of employees, then it is important for me to find an

What Leadership Means
Leadership is 'the behaviour of an individual when he is directing the activities of a group towards a
shared goal'. (Hemphill and Coons,
1957, p.7)
A leader is interpreted as someone who sets direction in an effort and influences people to follow
that direction. How they set that direction and influence people depends on a variety of factors. To
really comprehend the 'territory' of leadership, one should briefly scan some of the major theories,
notice various styles of leadership and review some of the suggested traits and characteristics that
leaders should have.
There are many leadership theories. Arthur G. Jago (1982) proposed a framework that organizes
leadership theories based on each theory's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Initiating structure: Initiating structure, also known as job–oriented behaviour, refers to leadership
behaviour that is aimed at careful supervision of employee work methods and performance levels.
Some research indicates that those leaders that were high in consideration would be more effective
than those who were high in initiating structure, particularly in regard to maintaining employee
satisfaction and performance and reducing turnover and absenteeism.
Subsequent research argued that being high in both dimensions was necessary for effective
leadership.
As the early researchers ran out of steam in their search for traits, they turned to what leaders did –
how they behaved (especially towards followers). They moved from leaders to leadership – and this
became the dominant way of approaching leadership within organizations in the
1950s and early 1960s. Different patterns of behaviour were grouped together and labelled as styles.
This became a very popular activity within management training ? perhaps the best known being
Blake and
Mouton?s Managerial Grid (1964; 1978). Various schemes appeared, designed to diagnose and
develop people?s style of working. Despite different names, the basic ideas were very similar. The
four main styles that appear are:

63. Maslow 's Hierarchy Of Needs Essay
In social work, leaders are in charge of motivating their employees to perform their jobs to the best
of their abilities. Sometimes leaders must apply a motivation or leadership theory in order to
motivate their employees. (Fisher, 2009)
Motivational theories are important for leaders in social worker. One of the most important tasks of
a leader is to stimulate productivity among employees. This requires motivation. Employees work in
the social work field for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is important for leaders to understand
what motivates employees. The three main motivational theories include Maslow's Hierarchy of
Needs, Hertzberg's Two Factors and Motivator Hygiene Theory, and McClelland's Trichotomy of
Needs. (Fisher, 2009) Leaders can use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to motivate employees. The
motivational needs in this theory form a pyramid. Leaders must recognize that employees may be on
different levels of needs from one another. The needs at the bottom of the pyramid must be met
before the needs at the higher levels. In order for this theory to work, leaders must identify the level
of need that each employee is currently facing. The first level of needs is the physiological level.
This level has motivators of food, shelter, and clothing. The second level of needs is security.

Although trait and skill theories have ideas that can be intertwined and can be compared
to one another, style leadership theory differs quite drastically. Instead of focusing on who the
leader is, if there is some type of genetic makeup to leaders, or whether skills can be learned,
style leadership focuses on what those leaders do, not who they are. Style theory refers to three
main theories or styles of leadership. These theories are known as the Ohio State University
studies, the Michigan University studies, and the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid.
In 1945, a group of researchers at Ohio State University sought to identify the observable
behaviors of leaders instead of focusing of their individual traits. To document their findings,
they generated a list of 150 statements designed to measure nine different dimensions of
leadership behavior. These statements were used to develop the Leaders ' Behavior Description
Questionnaire (LBDQ). The surveys were then given to members of a group, who were asked to
respond to a series of statements about the leader of their group. Respondents of the LBDQ–rated
leaders on how frequently they engaged in a certain behavior. The results of the survey
showed that two main behaviors, consideration and initiating structure. Consideration is how the

CULTURE
"A set of basic assumptions – shared solutions to universal problems of external adaptation (how to
survive) and internal integration (how to stay together) – which have evolved over time and are
handed down from one generation to the next." (Schein, 1985). Culture is divided in into 2
categories one is National Culture and second is Organisational Culture. NATIONAL CULTURE
National Culture is regarded as "the pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting" (Hofstede, 1991, p.4),
which every person has acquired in childhood and carries along throughout life (Hofstede, 1991).
National culture is something a group of people or society or a city or a country follows. Its customs
traditions. As Quin Marrow's company is based in Los Angeles and was going to have a joint
venture with a Peruvian company. These both have very different national culture. Hofstede in his
study identified six major cultural dimensions.
Power distance index
Individualism
Uncertainty avoidance
Masculinity
Long–term orientation
Indulgence

and the concerns are ideally balanced to the respective situational context of leadership. The model
is graphically illustrated below. Source :www.mindtools.com.leadership skills (2.09.2012)
* Concern for People relates to the degree to which a leader considers needs of employees and team
members before deciding how to accomplish a task. A high degree of concern could be coupled to a

In modern IT market, leadership plays a vital role. However, everyone feels they know leadership,

difficult to perform effectively. Furthermore, there are few different models of leadership which suit
various sectors.
Therefore, to be able to perform leadership coherently in organizations for hiring, development,
promotion and assessment, it is essential to make fundamental distinctions and expose assumptions.

It should not be confused with operational effectiveness or best practices – what is good for
everybody and what every business should be doing, such as TQM, benchmarking, or being a

from the competitors. However, determine where the opportunities lie that you can best exploit
rather you are willing to do anything.
For example, you cannot put E–learning and knowledge management at the front position of your
strategic goals, if the leaders have principles and variety at the forefront of their strategic ideas.
There are certain steps involved into strategic leadership planning as mentioned here under:

resemblance of French market with French products while on the contrary, the company were
selling more Japanese products and lost all ability to distinct itself with highly competitive local
supermarkets (Yamakawa, 2005, Choi & Mukoyama, 2009). There was the discordance between the
image that Carrefour tried to portrait as high quality, luxurious and sophisticated products when it
was following the EDLP model– 'Everyday low price', multi–store, convenience, retailing format.
Moreover, Carrefour Japan didn't make any adjustment regarding Japanese people as its shop signs

1. The average human being does not inherently dislike work.
2. Employees will exercise self–direction and self–control if they are committed to objectives.
External control and the threat of punishment are not the only means to make employees to work

It is not so, Good leaders are made not born. If one has the desire and willpower, heshe can become
an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never–ending process of self–study, education,
training, and experience.Leaders must be able to cope with complex technological change in their
organizations; general leadership skills are not sufficient in IT enriched environments. Specific
technology–related knowledge is required and it must directly relate to the tools, medium, strategies
and competencies found within the culture. An IT leader must possess analytical and listening skills
as true listening involves insight into what will work today, tomorrow and in the future. The IT
leader must take the initiative to try new methods without fear of failure, an enormous task facing
the IT leader when deciding on solutions to technology–related issues within his scope of influence.
Attrition rate is high in IT industry due to the work pressure wherein managers are not able to spend
enough time with their subordinates. In the fast–paced IT work environment, there is very limited
time and mind share devoted by a manager to his team member's personal training and thereby, the
manager is not influencing the employee's perception of growth. The only key to solving this

a higher priority. Coach K. was a genius in the ability of knowing his professions; this just means his
technical skills took a lower priority.
The capacity model by Michael Mumford contains five components. The skills that attributed to the
success of Coach Knight are the individual attributes. The skills of competency, motivation and
more specifically problem solving skills were the skills he possessed according to this model. He
had a deficit in his social judgment skills and environmental influences that, in turn, worked well for
Coach K and to his success. Coach K. often remarked on his upbringing and how this influenced the
quality of his communication. Coach K. struggled with the area of motivation, especially as it relates
to dominance. As stated above, Coach K. did not want to be a dictator, which simply meant
domination skills where not his priority.
The leadership styles of Coach Knight and Coach K. are different in a few aspects using the Blake
Mouton Managerial Grid. When referring to this leadership grid, Coach Knight falls under Produce
or Parish leadership. He views the players as being the means to an end. When we look at Coach K

Leadership and You Leaders play a crucial role in the society and organizations, especially with
regards to helping the organization achieve its objectives and purposes. These individuals use
varying approaches to leadership that inform their practices in motivating organizational members
towards the accomplishment of common objectives. Through their practices, leaders not only
influence the behaviors of their followers or subordinates but also help in shaping organizational
culture. The use of different leadership styles and philosophies is also attributed to the difference in
concept and practices of the leader. Moreover, leaders can improve their effectiveness through
adopting strategies that address the weaknesses of their leadership approaches since every leadership
style or approach has certain weaknesses.
Definition of Leadership Leadership is a term or concept that means different things to different
people depending on the context of where the leadership practice takes place. As a result, different
people have different definitions of what leadership is, which generates considerable problems in
attempts to effectively define leadership. From a personal perspective, leadership is a means for
talented individuals to influence others towards common objectives through sharing their knowledge
and perspectives (Mielach, 2013). This is probably the most suitable definition of leadership given

Strengths and Weaknesses
I will identify few of the strengths and weaknesses, which I found out through the research I did
about the ENFJs on the intranet. According to Keirsey & Bates, only 5% population in general has
the ENFJ leadership style. ENFJs may find themselves feeling responsible for the feelings of others
to an extent, which places a burden on the relationship (Keirsey & Bates, 1984).
I found some of the strengths in me, which is common for most of ENFJs. All the personalities are
not same and it may vary person to person though. One of the common strengths I found is I am a
very reliable and tolerant person and yes, this is very true of myself. People I know have trust on my
decision. They found me reliable and they know I am a very tolerant person in any strange
situations. I always listen to them, value their opinions and try to help and see it through. I am
always ready to take a stand and avoid the contradiction. Most ENFJs are like that and they usually
avoid contradictions. ENFJs are selfless and so am I. I didn't realize this quality in me before I did

120. Comparing Three Types Of Managers
2. Katzenbach and Kahn (2010) compare three types of managers in regard to motivation and pride
building (p. 79). This is similar to the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid. What insights from these
categories of managers and the Grid can you use to motivate performance in yourself and others?
Katzenbach and Khan believe there are three categories of manager: a good manager, a people
person and a pride–builder. A good manager is fair and rational working toward equality and
efficiency. They focus on the development of individuals with potential using formal development
plans. A people person is typically hands on and explains the reasoning behind their decision. This
individual is easy to work with and uses their connections to create development opportunities for
their favorites. A pride–builder encourages staff to be actively involved in problem solving and
empowers staff to pursue ideas. They strive to get the personal best effort from every team member
and are often a role–model for expected behaviors (2010). A good manager is focused on meeting
metrics and mastering the processes often using a standardized approach for all employees. A people
person creates a happy and social environment providing perks such as lunch and snacks. A pride–
builder realizes different approaches are needed for different individuals and tailors the motivation
and pride building to the individual or specific groups. A pride–builder is often called a master

128. Leadership Is The Best Course Of Action For Leadership
Leadership is a complex subject, but for our purposes can be defined as the act of one person
influencing another person or group of people towards a common purpose that is beneficial for both
the leader and their followers. Many approaches have been taken by academics in attempting to
understand what leadership is at its core. Useful information has been unearthed by studying
leadership qualities in individuals and by studying the dynamic between leader and follower.
However, the abstractness of these studies left researches at somewhat of a loss for practical and
relevant information, that is until research began on the observable behavior of leaders. The Style
Approach is a useful way to look at the leader–follower relationship because it incorporates
elements of behaviorist psychology and applies them to the study leadership as a phenomenon. The
goal of this essay is to use observable behavior in the context of the Leadership Grid to determine
the best course of action for leadership in any scenario.
Findings on Leadership via the Style Approach The Style Approach differs from other ways of
understanding leadership in that it is focused on the here and now rather than traits or tendencies
which are more difficult to quantify. This approach allows room for the subject of a study to change
over time, rather than being rigidly casted as something because they displayed certain

the non–cooperative sealed–bid method where the tasks are auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Second, the semi–cooperative n–round bid method in which each site delegates the task its work to
others if it cannot perform the work itself. Last, the cooperative method in which all the sites
cooperatively perform all the tasks as efficiently as possible. The simulation model has various

What is leadership?
Leadership is "the behaviour of an individual when he is directing the activities of a group towards a
shared goal". (Hemphill and Coons, 1957, p.7)
A leader is interpreted as someone who sets direction in an effort and influences people to follow
that direction. How they set that direction and influence people depends on a variety of factors. To
really comprehend the "territory" of leadership, one should briefly scan some of the major theories,
notice various styles of leadership and review some of the suggested traits and characteristics that
leaders should have.
There are many leadership theories. Arthur G. Jago (1982) proposed a framework that organizes
leadership theories based on each theory's focus and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In this style, leaders look upon their followers as people – their needs, interests, problems,
development and so on. They are not simply units of production or means to an end.
Directive leadership. This style is characterized by leaders taking decisions for others and expecting
followers or subordinates to follow instructions.
Participative leadership. Here leaders try to share decision–making with others.
(Wright 1996: 36–7)
Contingencies theory.
The central idea of this approach was that effective leadership was dependent on a mix of factors.
Fred E. Fiedler argued that effectiveness depends on two interacting factors: leadership style and the
degree to which the situation gives the leader control and influence.
Devices Fiedler used to determine leader personality and the situation was Least Preferred Co–
worker (LPC) Scale. The LPC is used to measure a leader's motivation: "Task motivation" vs.
"relationship motivation" (these are the trait versions of the "concern of production" vs. "concern of
people" categories in the Managerial Grid).

A deontologist focuses on doing what is "right". Like stated above, a lot of my ethical background
has come from the characteristics I was taught as a child such as honesty, fairness, and respect for
others.
Although I do not have much professional leadership experience, in my personal and what I believe
my profession style would be is a coaching approach. "A coaching approach is a high directive–high
supportive style. In this approach, the leader focuses communication on both achieving goals and
meeting followers' socioemotional needs (Northouse, 2016, p.94). These types of leaders are
approachable, provide personal and professional support, and are friendly. This is the kind of leader
I would want to be, efficient in work productivity, but also welcoming and supportive of my
employees. This style of leadership builds trust and honesty, which makes employees more likely to
present ethical dilemmas to you, because they know the issue will be dealt with in a fair and just
manner.
One leadership model that I value is Blake and Mouton's Managerial (Leadership) Grid. "The
Leadership (Managerial) Grid joins concern for productions and concern for people in a model that
