The theme of empowerment is found both in “When It Changed” by Joanna Russ, and “A Rock Trying To Be A Stone” by Sergio Troncoso.Additionally, the characters in both stories express their eagerness, self sufficiency, and self awareness. It is essential to discuss self characteristics as such, along with empowerment because of the simple fact that it is relevant to society, and we can learn from it. Empowerment is something people should be aware of today, because it encourages, and motivates to…

requirements of work. Although Alibaba does not follow a rigid bureaucratic hierarchy, it is influenced by democratic centralism of the government. Thus, it is the senior managers who are capable of making changes within the company. According to Hofstede’s Model of national culture, China is a highly collectivist culture in which people enhance groups’ interest more than their self-interest (Hofstede Insights. (n.d.)). This explains why Chinese workers do not put too much value whether they are…

3. Concept- Situational leadership style Leadership has always been hotly debated with countless traditional and contemporary models postulated by countless discussions and research. The situational theory draws its main view from contingency thinking as developed by Kenneth Blanchard and Paul Hersey states that successful leaders rather than using one leadership style should adapt their styles in relation to the maturity of the people being led and the details of the task. In using this theory…

Coaching Reflection #2 Aly Daniels In my work, I have taken on a new role, but am still also doing my old job. This has caused for some difficulties and differences in opinion about the new employee who is beginning to work to make up for me not being able to help as much in my old job. The new employee is not meeting the standards that I have set for all managers. I am the head manager, and the director of administration for Kansas State Women’s basketball, and the new employee is not meeting…

The three leadership theories that I identify the most are servant theory, transformational theory, and path-goal leadership. Transformational Leadership is the stronger theory I identify the most. “Transformational leadership’s popularity might be due to its emphasis on intrinsic motivation and follower development, which fits the needs of today’s work groups, who want to be inspired and empowered to succeed in times of uncertainty.” (Northouse, 2016). I believe that the role of the teacher is…

Section A2 Personally, I believe that the contingency theory for leadership most relates to my leadership style. I tend to adapt my leadership and directions to the people I am managing. Depending on the level of skill, knowledge, and readiness, I change my methods of direction for certain employees. Just like previously mentioned in the Synergy section of the Seven Habits Profile, everyone has different methods of communication and difference strong suits. One method of leadership, or…

One theory I disagreed with was that of Frederick Fiedler. Through Fiedler 's theory, leaders are asked to think of their least preferred co-worker and rate that person on a multitude of traits using the Least Preferred Coworker questionnaire. A scale from 1-8 with opposing traits on each side is used to calculate the leader 's LPC score. An example LPC questionnaire can be seen in the attachment (Northouse, 2013). Fiedler believed that a low LPC score was indicative of a task-oriented…

Some of the points she made on leadership skills was that authentic leadership is important as opposed to just being a leader. I think she made a great point because someone can’t just be a leader because they feel the need to be one, great leaders will be authentic by ensuring that they are being leaders in a way that is natural not because they feel the responsibility to be one in the situation. Authentic leaders are better equipped to deal with others and inspire others to be more effective…
