Complete Name: Unit 1 Student Name: May, Tony ********************************************************************************************************** 1. Consider the qualities that mark a leader—vision, ability, enthusiasm, stability, concern for others, self-confidence, persistence, vitality, charisma, and integrity. On the basis of these 10 qualities, discuss the best leader you have ever had Student Answer: As I pondered this question, I realized I have been incredibly fortunate to work with several outstanding leaders over the course of the last 20 years. Subsequently, it was more difficult for me to answer this question than I initially anticipated. However, after much thought, I would have to select my current boss, Ron, …show more content…
Have you ever clashed with a supervisor or subordinate over leadership style? Discuss dynamics and results. Student Answer: Fortunately, I have not encountered many instances in which I have clashed with my supervisor regarding a meaningful variance in our approach to leadership. Nevertheless, approximately 5 years ago I began reporting to a leader that had a diametrically different leadership style than mine and for the 2 years that I reported to her, it proved to be an uncomfortable and frustrating working relationship for both of us. To begin with, both Vicki (my Supervisor) and I shared a passion for accomplishing goals and the stamina to work long hours to ensure we contributed the time, energy, and effort required as leaders to excel in our business. Furthermore, I appreciated how Vicki leveraged her unwavering self confidence, unmatched vitality, and dogged tenacity to carve out a 20+ year career at a Fortune 15 company, acquire her Bachelor’s and MBA while balancing her family and career, and ascend to the role of Vice President (Manning & Curtis, 2015). Subsequently, she and I had several things in common personally and professional and we both assumed our working relationship would
The two limitations are checking packets one at a time, and checking only some fields of the internet and transport headers. Checking packets one at a time is bad because packets will be examined one at a time, and cannot stop attacks such as DoS. Checking only some fields of the internet and transport headers is bad because will not examine all field of the internet and transport header fields, and cannot stop all attacks such as utilized attack.

I believe to be a successful leader it is important to not just focus on one particular style, but to incorporate many. If you take a few high points from each style and learn to mesh them together you should have a better understanding of leadership as a whole. This class has taught me that being a leader is a lot more challenging than people may think. Leaders have to wear many different hats in many different situations. To become an effective leader you have to work at it. It may come easy to some, but to others it is a skill that is shaped and molded over time. Different experiences and situations help mold leaders into who they become. I hope to use the different styles we have learned about to mold me into an effective leader in today’s society.
First, at all, I would let the students the rule of the classroom and consequences of certain actions at the beginning of the scholar year. I would keep them remainder through the year to prevent or anticipate the consequences of any student’s action. I can a direct conversation with the students to address the matter by letting them know that is unacceptable.
Unfortunately, this is not a trait in which any leader should try to imitate: “Steve Jobs was a known bully and would often fly off the handle at those under him. He would publicly question the intelligence of anyone he found fault with” (Bob Sanders). Like Priestly, Steve was well known for being rude and condescending, and at many times he would publicly humiliate Apple staff. It created a culture in which many out groups formed and riffs could be seen within the company. As we discussed in class, the way in which a manager handles conflicting ideas and their subordinates can have a massive effect on an organization. In this case, Steve did not act in the way you would associate with a good
It takes a long time to become an effective and respected leader but can evaporate very quickly with one misstep. It needs to be nurtured and cultivated every day. My personal leadership style is to observe and correct. As a junior member, one of my Chief told me, “I don’t care how long it takes you to do a job as long as you do it right the first time because if it is wrong you will be the one fixing it.” That resonated with me because it allowed me to take risks and learn from my mistakes making me a better technician. I firmly believe one of the best learning tools is failure. His statement let me know it was all right to fail but if you do you will be learning from it. Identifying weaknesses within my leadership abilities and striving to correct them will result in being consistently looked upon a leader within our
I had the opportunity to be employed by many organizations in my lifetime. With such experience in the work force, I gathered traits, the good and the bad, from my superiors to mold my own leadership style. Out of all the people I worked for that held management positions, two stand out the most because of their differences. Even though both men wore the United States Marine Corps uniform, their difference in leadership, appearance, and customer service made it seem as if they were not in the same organization at all.
The leadership and management styles of my superintendent and project manager are actually pretty similar. The leadership style of my project manager is laid back, and not taking very much of a leadership role until he absolutely has to. He had an opportunity to become a vice president, but did not take it because he wanted to continue to actually build things, not be stuck in the office all the time. The superintendent’s leadership style is in the manner of getting things done. He tells the workers to do what he needs them to do in a respectful manner and the workers do what they are told. If the workers do not do what they are told to do, he handles it appropriately. The management styles of both are similar in that they get the job done
When I was working in the hospital, I had a supervisor who did not quite understand what it took to be a leader. It felt as if she was part of the team rather than the leader of the team. She would gossip with her subordinates about other employees. There had been a time when I heard her call one of her employees an idiot when he was in the next room. She would also play favorites with the workers who would gossip with her. This created a division among her workers.
Each one defines different types of leadership that exist in work environments. From the laissez-faire to the supreme autocrat, leaders and organizations have a variety of leadership styles, but not every style is right for everyone. I also found my capabilities and leadership style in were I feel I am suitable and I am a laissez-faire leader because I am laid back and allowing my employees to get on with their tasks as they see fits and also in how direct supervisor and somehow fails to provide regular feedback to those under
The supervisor-leader relationship is one of the topics that has been debated the most in the past. The debate pertains to management versus leader and how they relate to one another. One of the issues is whether or not a supervisor can be an effective leader. I believe it is imperative that someone must be able to follow before they are able to lead. The greatest leaders are the ones that have served in those positions
Over the course of my professional career in different organizations in the past three years, I have worked under many managers. This has been a learning curve for me to understand the different managing styles and leadership characteristics of people. One of the managers whom I worked under, was the lead in a government project which also happened to be my last project before I took a break for continuing my studies, is a person I admire till date. I learned several life lessons in addition to the technical subject associated with the industry. This paper demonstrates the leadership styles exhibited by my manager with suitable examples.
I have had the opportunity to work with leaders of different styles, and by just watching them, listening to them and seeing how the staff reacts; I can gauge what is productive with their staff. I try not to copy or mimic their style and ensure my own style comes through in being consistent, authentic and genuine. I feel by following these traits they give me necessary foundation and help me towards achieving leadership excellence.
leadership and management styles that did not work in a particular situation would be: commanding leadership style and an autocratic management style. Autocratic style is a management style that takes a task-only focus and tends to make most of the decisions for the department without including the team as part of the decision-making. A commanding leadership style demands immediate compliance from the team. I recently transferred to a new department at my current job. I quickly noticed that my new manager has a “do as I say” mentality. Mind you, this is her first management position. I completely understand a person must start somewhere to gain experience, however, it is important for a new manager who has never held a management position before to not have such a negative mentality. My manager does not know how to successfully lead and manage the department.
