Charismatic authority

After reading about Dr. Gerald Napoles’s impressive background, rise to the presidency in a short amount of time and his ability to utilize a servant leadership framework, gives hope to new leaders in the community college arena. The overview describing Dr. Napoles characteristics aligns directly to the servant leadership style that he owns. One of the points made by Dr. Napoles is he “believes in servant leadership and uses that framework in all of his actions." This comment led me to…

Conclusion Contingency theory of leadership considers their supporters as one of the situational factors that leaders need to manipulate in order to achieve specific outcome (Uhl-Bien et al., 2013). This theory signifies that whether ethical or unethical, leaders influence their followers. Using their own convincing skills as an asset, leaders are successful in making followers work their own way. Unethical leadership thus impacts the organization. sometimes It is difficult for followers to…

Hitler was a leader. It may sound funny because if someone was asked to find one word to describe Hitler they would most likely choose a word like murderer, corrupt, or predigest . Although he was a corrupt and predigest murderer he was a leader as well. A leader can affect his followers in both positive and negative ways. Leadership is the relationship between a leader and his followers. Being a leader means that your actions, whatever they may be, influence another to do or think the same.…

traits. The “great man” leadership theory proposed by Thomas Carlyle in the mid-1800s declares that some people are born with the essential characteristic that set them apart from others and that these traits are responsible sites of power and authority. The advantage of the trait theory is that it presumes leaders come into those traits that they cannot obtain them later throughout life. I believe this supposition is correct in that I too believe most leaders are born, thus, with the traits…

Leadership Leaders are individuals who leads or commands a group of people. To be an effective leader an individual must have characteristics of leadership that inspire their followers. There can be many types of leaders. Some leaders are strong leaders that want nothing but to rule and have war. Other leaders want peace, and they will only offer help if needed. Some leaders are in the middle and may lean either way. Leaders express their leadership in different ways. Many great leaders have…

The term “leadership”, as described throughout Unit 1 of our reading, is portrayed by one’s ability to influence and or develop those around him or her in a positive direction (Manning & Curtis, 2012). Personally, I find that being a leader, in today’s society, is only as difficult as maintaining that influence through personal growth and experience. Additionally, a leader must possess the ability to motivate and direct others through collaborative communication in the attempt to achieve…

Different leaders have different qualities, attributes, values, passions, goals, and priorities. Though all leaders have these things. A good leader knows what he is striving to do in life. An even better leader knows how to get it done. A good leader knows what he is good at and what he is bad at. An even better leader knows how to enhance his strengths and eliminate his weaknesses. A good leader knows his priorities. An even better leader knows to stick to these. So, my question to you is,…

I believe that Robert Allies is right to say that being likable is the magic bullet of communication. In our book it states, “‘With it, your audience will forgive just about everything else you do wrong. Without it, you can hit every bull’s eye in the room, and no one will be impressed”(Pg 304 Lines 12-15). Allies is correct by saying this. Being likable gives a speaker several advantages. One of those advantages is the connection with the audience. This connection will most likely foster a lot…

In Lindquist 114). A charismatic healer gives hope to…
