    Personal leadership / management style analysis During my first few weeks in the field experience course, I have noticed the complexity of leadership and management that is involved in the work field. Both, a leader and a manager are very important people in an organization. According to Collins (2001), managers and leaders “exist in different forms, roles and responsibilities”; as a result, Five Level Hierarchy exists, where level one has highly capable individuals, two is contributing team member, three is competent manager, four is an effective leader, and finally five is an executive. A great leader must be an effective communicator in order to lead a group of people in order to accomplish a goal or vision.…

    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…

    I learned from Eric that health care does not necessarily have to be your passion for you to be good at it, and this goes for any field you want to go into, but our career does not have to be something that you learn to do or that you learn to be good at. Your career should be something that you are passionate about, and you should be able to answer yes to two very important questions; if you had to do what you did yesterday, today and tomorrow for free, would you? And would you be ale to say that you enjoy doing it, yesterday, today, tomorrow and 10 years from now? So I take away from this experience a new understanding of what m future looks like as well as the understanding that I can enjoy what I do, what I want to do and there is a natural progression of how and when I will get…
