Direct management should if possible, attend newly designed courses in the areas of Human Resources and leadership so they may learn how to motivate, delegate and lead associates within their department. There are many great leadership books out there, from John Maxwell to Jim Kouzes, Stephen Covey etc...The most recent and intriguing leadership book I read was: Multipliers: How Great Leaders Make Everyone Smarter by Liz Wiseman. She is also the author of Rookie Smarts: Why Learning beats Knowing in the New Game of Work. Great books for division managers. They ought to drive and revitalize their

    I would hope that in my six years prior to being promoted to an assistant principal, I would have laid the foundation for positive relationships with the students, or at least some pocket of students. Additionally, I would think about the mindset of not necessarily the students, but the current faculty and staff and begin to measure the outlook that is currently in place. From here I would want to make changes that lead the community to a more positive mindset and outlook. Green (2013) states, “Effective leaders emphasized the development of interpersonal relationships while focusing on the personal needs of followers and the development of the kinds of relationships that would motivate followers to set and achieve high performance goals”.…

    When wanting to know how to be a leader or give your employees some motivation, reading the book Business: Through the Eyes of Faith by Chewning, Eby, and Roels will give you some great guidelines. Chewning et al. give great examples and stories to which you can see what your own reaction to the situation would have been, along with some great follow up questions for reflection. I really enjoyed the parts at the end of the chapter that gives you some Bible verses to explore and see how the Bible would give you instruction on different situations. The topics that I thought pertained more to me and would help me in my husband’s business are those of motivation, communication, and being a Christian leader.…

    What is leadership? Leadership can be traced back millions of years; one could postulate that the first forms of life on earth showed forms of leadership. For instance, Insects show leader ship behaviors with their foraging skills, as do birds with flocking. Thus, people from ancient times to now have tried to explain where leadership is derived. Consequently, there are seven theories that have been composed to explain leadership, great person, trait, behavioral, situational, contingency, transactional, transformational, and big five theories; each theory building upon the other and the ever advancing definition of leadership.…
