Part A. A transactional leader would be someone who influences their followers by power and persuasion. A more “do as I say, or you are dead” leader. This style does not aim to create new leaders for the future. Instead, wants to stay in control. (i.e. Hitler, Donald Trump) A transformational leader aims to create more leaders, and has a more open mindset that looks beyond the conservative ways of old. This type of leader has a more proactive approach, and seeks to innovate. (i.e. Martin Luther…

Social behavior is defined as “the study of how people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by other people”. My life and the lives of many surrounding me have often been shaped and influenced by society. Through conformity, compliance, and obedience, many have changed their actions for other people. Conformity is a change in one’s behavior done to mimic the actions or responses of another. Compliance is a change made in response to a direct request. Obedience is a response in…

In this chapter what stuck out most to me was the social perspective. It seems like people engage in behavior based on feelings or what we would like to partake in. Now when we look at how social experiences and social surroundings really affect what behaviors we tend to have. We see that it’s not just a personal feeling or reaction it really is an effect of what has happened around us or what society is doing around us. After reading about this specific topic in chapter one and then…

norm to conform and obey. From a very young age we learn that if we do not obey then we will suffer the consequences for these actions. People within society have a desire to be accepted and to belong; whether to a group or a family this social influence can change our thoughts, feeling and even our behaviour. So can we truly be an individual or are we pre-defined by a set of social boundaries? ‘Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth’ (J F. Kennedy). Kennedy feels that by…

leadership has been widely adapted, demonstrating a correlation between the “roles of leadership and followership” (Northouse, 2016, p.162). Theorist have determined that this leadership style has four core characteristics, including Idealized Influence: This refers to how leaders are able to reach a “larger-than-life status” (Odumeru & Ifeanyi, 2013, 356).

Many people believe to have leadership is just to take charge of a situation but leadership, as defined by the dictionary, is the ability to lead a group and having certain qualities such as acknowledging different points of views, trusting one's intuition and being honest in all situations possible. Throughout the movie, Koro gives orders and makes decisions without listening to other's opinions. Paikea's father is against the tradition of the first born male becoming chief yet Koro continues…

EDU 505 Lesson 8 Write 8B Life is all about relationships. Leadership also is about the relationship - how a leader relates to people around him to influence them. Biblical leadership adds another dimension to leadership by operating on a different level of relationship. Biblical leaders are a different kind of leaders because of how they relate to God and people. First, they willingly admit that they are the followers before they are leaders. They obediently put themselves under the authority…

My definition of leadership is very simple: leadership is having the ability to mobilize and empower a group towards a common goal. I find that with a much general definition of leadership as a base, it allows for different styles and theories to come from it. My preferred leadership style, for example, is the servant leadership model. The servant leadership model was formalized by Robert K. Greenleaf. My leadership model, as similar as it may be to that of Greenleaf's, came from home. More…

The meaning of leadership is being a leader to others whether that be a group, an organization, or to younger/older kids. I have demonstrated leadership in several different ways. One way is through my school. By showing leadership, I do what is expected of me from showing others how something is done when it’s either on the court, in the classroom, in the hallways, or downtown. People are always watching and looking up to the older ones and for me that is a big responsibility to take on and…

Leadership is something I found over this class period to be something more than just someone telling you what to do. It is something that should help everyone to be a part of and enjoy being apart a group. Leadership is having the capability to have everyone work together as a whole, and being able to successfully finish a task. Kevin Kruse from Forbes magazine has said “Leadership has nothing to do with seniority or one’s position in the hierarchy of a company” which I completely agree with.…
