Leadership is not only significant in our daily lives but it has also a vital in management to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency (Bass & Stogdill, 1990).

In this semester I knew that a leader should have to be a good listen and he should also have analyzed any situation deeply. After knowing this quality of leadership I give preference to listen the verdict of others and as compare to my age fellows I consider myself as a good listen. In this whole semester I learned that motivation is an integral part of leadership while reading the workbooks and articles. There are many motivation theories but I prefer the Y theory and in my opinion as a leadership we should also have to apply Maslow’s theory. These motivation theories have also provided a way to me that how I can motivate myself in difficult times (Densten & Gray, 2001).
On the other hand there is much leadership characteristic that I should have to improve in future such as decision making and building relationship with other etc. I am not good at quick decision making and making relationships is also difficult me.

Being a leader for in almost any given situation has been an innate quality that I have possessed for as long as I can remember. I have always found myself nominating myself for leadership positions. My most recent and fulfilling leadership position would be my eleventh and twelfth grade school years when I held the position of Drum Major for Purnell Swett High School’s Marching Rams. Being in this position meant that I had to give up the spotlight of performance, turn my back to the crowd, and lead
it takes to be a great leader Some may argue that great leaders are born and not made. While there are, some “born leaders,” many who have never envisioned themselves as leaders have successfully honed in on their leadership skills through personal reflection and extensive practice. Effective leadership requires more than just delegating assignments and tasks. It is not just a title given to just anyone that wants it. It requires vision, collaboration,
If I were to be born into a specific faction, I believe I would most likely relate with the Dauntless group. This faction believes in its members being brave and showing random acts of bravery with everything they do. This includes standing up for other people and also standing up for what you believe in and what you know is right. The Dauntless manifesto states, “We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another… We believe in shouting for those
Not everyone can be a leader. As William Shakespeare once said, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them”. Not everyone can be a leader. Everyone has the ability to be a leader however, not everyone will use the ability they have to lead. Leadership is defined as the position or function of a leader, a person who guides or directs a group (Dictionary.com). A leader is assumed to be a know it all, be involved with decisions measured by the result he or
Leadership Vision Paper To be successful, a leader must have vision and passion towards achieving their goals. Writing a vision is an essential part of making a plan. The vision must be inspiring and be a set framework for being a successful leader. Leadership vision is used to focus attention on the most important things a leader would like to accomplish and the characteristics a leader would like to possess. Based on my past, present, and future I will use the Keirsey personality self-assessment
Adaptability: I find adaptability to be one of my talent. I am able to adapt to any given situation or environment faster than my peers. This is mainly due to the fact that all throughout my life, my family and I have been moving: Nigeria, Ghana, US, and currently Belgium by myself. This led me, at a young age, to learn to quickly adapt to my surroundings in order to continue on with my life or else I would be stuck in a situation with no escape. Studying to Belgium also proved to be useful in improving
personality. I see it all over in the world today. My friend is a firstborn and he gets what he wants, but with force. My sister is a lastborn and she gets what she wants, but with whining and crying. Middle children are usually the best of the lot. That’s me. I am just perfect, I have most of the second born qualities but I have a lot of firstborn too. First you need to know what birth order is, and the effects it can have on people. Birth order is the order in which you were born. How it affects
Conscious leaders are driven by how their services align to the purpose of the company, support the people the business touches and the world that we all live in and share. One of the characteristics of Conscious leadership is that the focus of the leader is on the people rather than on himself or herself. A conscious leader inspires, foster, transforms and brings out the best in those around him or her, including the organization’s stakeholders (Mackey & Sisodia, 2013). Stakeholder Orientation
eleven, and is still continuing to this day. Thus far it has hit many roadblocks, and I certainly have a long way to go before I will truly consider myself a successful leader. I have struggled with self-confidence and have failed to speak up many times, and no doubt will continue to do so for some time. My current obstacle in my leadership journey is learning to believe in myself. Once I conquer that task, I am looking forward to improving my leadership skills in several areas using both the authentic
sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy times seven.’” (Matthew 18:21-22). Jesus was a leader who taught forgiveness and worked miracles. His life fulfilled the promises God made throughout the Old Testament and offered a new covenant of salvation.

process by which a individual will influence others to obtain goals. Leaders will guide, direct motivate, or inspire others. Leadership is defined by not only traits but actions as well. Leaders are inspirational, trustworthy and charismatic. Many people may think a manger is leader. Although leadership and management go hand in hand, they are not the same. Everyone has their own beliefs about what characteristics an effective leader should have. To me, communication skills, critical thinking skills
do we need to follow leaders? We heard different opinion about leadership concept but the best definition of leadership will be. An influence relationship among leaders and followers who intend real changes and outcomes that reflect their shared purpose. (P5). The second question was why people follow their leaders?

great leader is the one that influences positive changes, help make an organization strong and recognizable, coach and build an efficient team and motivate people.

the easiest to practice and why? I think the foundational principle that I agree most is “leadership qualities and skills can be learned and developed”. Leaders are born and also made by education and experience. Even though each person may be born with unique leadership style, leadership is universal and can be learned. Everyone has equal right to learn this essential skill. Nowadays, tons of leadership training programs are held in order to form new leaders. I think the most difficult foundational
