    Trustworthiness, self-sacrifice and integrity are all elements of leadership and are all the more so in non-profit organizations. Clark exhibited on many occasions that he did not always ethically or morally run the organization. Leaders of non-profit organizations also “require considerable skills in motivating and inspiring their followers” (Nahavandi, 2015, p. 234). Clark essentially did the opposite. He instilled fear and dread into his employees. In order to be an effective leader in a non-profit organization the leader must empower their employees, use all accessible resources by utilizing the power of teams and participating in creatively solving problems which Clark did none (Nahavandi,

  • Poor Leadership Essay

    876 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the biggest problems for Americans right now is the direction in which our country is headed due to poor leadership from our government. This problem has been affecting the American people deeply over the last few years and is only going to get worse. The effects of this poor leadership are the the growing debt in our country, poor health care regulations causing high premiums and forcing punishments upon people who self pay, illegal immigrants at an all time high, not enough money spent for education, and terrorist groups causing fear to Americans. These problems have been caused by the recent politicians we have elected for not only president but all of the branches of government. The best solutions to fix these problems are electing new government officials and a new president that will make changes and fix the problems that need fixing. The other alternative solutions would be the American people taking action and making the government realize that we want change. These problems have to be addressed now because the longer they are put on hold the worse the problems could be become.
