    Influencer Chapter Summary

    As a leader the books that made up the course material for class can be used every day. The book Influencer and Three Signs of a Miserable Job are beneficial to leaders at every level of an organization and I would recommend them to almost everyone. The books are neither manipulative nor forceful in their approach to leadership. The two books were not the only methods of leadership to take and use. John Boyd’s OODA loop, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and the list of Logical Fallacies all can be used to become a better leader when practiced every day.…

    Adaptive Leadership Course Analysis

    In terms of processing the course teachings, I found the Handbook for Transformative Learning difficult to retain at times. Although this is a topic of great interest to me and the current context in which I serve; the material has often caused me to gravitate more towards The Adaptive Leadership textbook by Heifetz. All things considered, I believe that the development of the Synergy paper actually presents the student and pastoral leaders with a unique opportunity to shape the destiny of the local church and the AME denomination by virtue of two major advantages at their disposal. First, the availability and accessibility of successful nationally recognized experts in the area of Adaptive Leadership and Transformative Learning. Having a full arsenal of proven experts present during our first semester at Payne Theological Seminary caused a hunger in my spirit.…

The persons that I chose to be my ten leaders are individuals who I think have had enough experience to become the great leaders that they are today.

    Peter Sege Theory Of Change Management Study

    Theory of Change Management Peter Senge promotes the idea of a Learning Organization as a theory of change management in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’. Senge (2006) encourages the “rethinking of corporate philosophy” and a commitment to individual learning to establish a learning organization. Individual learning, according to Senge (2006), does not guarantee a learning organization, but without it, learning organization is impossible. Individual learning, therefore, is key to the establishment of a learning organization. Encouragement for individual learning requires “tapping the potential of people” according to Senge (2006).…

    The Importance Of Change Management

    It is important that the message be sent loud and clear to all employees within the organization that the change must be attacked with an extreme sense of urgency. It is also important for the top level of the organization to have a realistic plan in implementing change. Many times top level management overestimates how many big changes they can force early on. They also underestimate how hard it is to drive people out of their comfort zones (Kotter, 1996). In order to achieve this management must create a powerful…
