Leadership Practices
Over the course of my professional career, I have worked with great leaders with tremendous leadership qualities and I have tried to model my leadership practices based upon their successful leadership. Putting into considering my current leadership strengths, I will use a participative leadership theory to analyze my own competencies. Participative leadership is defined as shared influence and joint decision making between a leader and their followers (Armenakis, Harris, & Mossholder, 1993; Koopman & Wierdsma, 1998), and its goal is to give followers greater discretion, extra attention, and support, and involvement in solving problems and making decisions (LAM, C. K., XU, H., & CHAN, S. H, 2015). Participative

    Personal Experience: Autocratic Leadership In Kelowna General Hospital

    Throughout the project, I have faced many challenges. Out of many challenges throughout, the most challenging challenge was on leadership. I do not have autocratic leadership where I can order others to do something. My leadership is more participative leadership, where I consult with group, making group decisions and sharing power, and authority. When the word “leadership” arise, I automatically think of autocratic leadership as I was taught that people who have leadership leads the group with controlled authorities.…

    Examples Of Leadership Philosophy

    There are three theories that can best describe my leadership philosophy: servant leadership, situational leadership, and path-goal leadership. Throughout the course of the semester and when researching the before mentioned theories, there was a sense of validation that this is who I am, and would like to become. Another recent but important influence in my leadership philosophy has been the book “Leading in a Culture of Change” by Michael Fullan. Leading in a Culture of Change conveys the idea of how leaders in different types of organizations can become exceptional leaders and accomplish their goals. Fullan (2001) explains, how leaders in a culture of change are not judged only by how effective and/or ineffective they are, but rather by the leadership they develop in others.…

    Personal Narrative: My Personal Leadership Philosophy

    My personal leadership philosophy is built on enhancing and growing others, and continuing the process of self-examination and self-improvement. Without a doubt, titles and positions increase the level of influence, but leadership is not necessarily about title or position. Discovering the potentials of others to collaborate and produce the most optimal outcomes with joint efforts is what I consider a successful and effective leadership. Having the ability and opportunity to lead from behind allows a leader to build and maintain positive relationships for fostering a cooperative work environment. As there are many elements to master the leadership development, and theoretical components to compare several styles in leadership studies, I have…

    Personal Narrative: Assessing My Leadership Style

    Murdock (2014) points out that the participative leadership style is best used in situations where time is not vital and creativity or multiple solutions are desired. This makes this style an ideal approach in companies that need those skills. In addition Kushalappas and Pakkeerapa (2014) highlight that change is a necessary part of life while pointing out that businesses that employ the participative style ease the struggles of changes in the workplace for employees. Kim (2002) also states that research has shown that when manager’s use a participative management style, employees report higher levels of job satisfaction. As a result many corporations are utilizing this style more and more over more the traditional management style where roles are more strictly defined.…

    Three Types Of Participative Leadership

    Participative leadership is a type of leadership where decisions are shared and others are allowed to have a say. The leader allows employees and other stakeholders to share in how tasks are completed and how changes are implemented. Participative leadership involves “consultation” and power is decentralized (Yukl, 2013 p.106). This is a democratic way of decision making and increasing employee participation (Yukl, 2013). Abraham Lincoln used this type of leadership because he persuaded others to his way and not force them.…

    Personal Leadership Philosophy

    Leadership Style Leadership is the process of influencing others to accomplish common goals and improve the organization as a whole. My personal leadership philosophy has three major tenants: develop subordinates, communicate efficiently, and innovate. Developing subordinates includes placing strong individuals in strategic roles. The advantage of this leadership tenant is outlined in the book “Good to Great” where the author explains that the first step to developing a successful organization is ensuring that the right individuals are properly placed in roles that support their strengths; in doing so, organizations work more efficiently because individuals are passionate about their work. To influence others one must communicate efficiently,…

    Leadership Kathy Dunlap Bethel University MOD 310 April 24, 2017 Kameke Payne Leadership No one theory of leadership has ever been accepted by all, but the common thought of leadership is that it is an influence process, occurs within a group, involves goals, and attainment. Some people think leaders are born with a trait that innately makes them leaders, while others theorize that it is a characteristic of an individual, but we have learned that leaders are a product of their development and life experiences. Leaders are concerned with understanding people’s beliefs and gaining their commitment. They function without focusing on the opinions of others, which allows them to think of new ideas and motivate others to develop these…

    Ever since the dawn of man, there has been one common ability that has appeared in every part of humanity’s history. It is known as the ability to lead by example.

    Reflection: The Leadership Challenge

    Leadership is both a science and an art. Good leadership requires an accurate sense of self, a well-communicated vision, the ability to earn the trust of others and the capability to take effective action. In order to “build your house of leadership” your actions must inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more. (Duren, Lec. 2). Throughout the semester, I have learned that some of the five Kouzes and Posner leadership practices in The Leadership Challenge come naturally to me while others do not.…
