Q.1. Individuals compare themselves with groups of people who occupy the role to which that individual aspires. The term means: any person who serves as an example whose behavior is emulated by others. Role modelling can serve to reinforce the desired behavior in the role model themselves as well as encourage others to emulate them. A role model in a organisational context is no different from a role model in a family or social context.Their actions, values and behaviors are up held as the ideal and to be desired.

This will keep the lines of communication that are essential to operational productivity open and enable effective information sharing. Managers/leaders will actually see and understand what employees do,as a result they will identify what rules stifle rather than empower staff,they can also work with clients/customers to find out what they really think of the organisation and to ensure that the product and service quality meet the customers/clients value perceptions.Q.No.3.Ensure personal work goals,plans and activities reflect the organisation 's plans,and your own responsibilities and accountability.Managers usually have a greater degree of discretion in how they go about achieving the outcome required of them than non-managerial workers do. rather than being told how,when and where to perform a job,managers are more likely to be given a broad direction of what is to be accomplished and are then required to set their own goals and plans their activities to ensure goals are realised. This flexibility can be liberating;it can encourage creativity,assist with personal work/life balance and might even result in outcomes that far exceed those initially anticipated. However, it also requires innovation, and the ability to priorities.The manager needs to have a good understanding of the organisational long-term vision strategy and
Though there are many good qualities in a leader, Catherine Meliniotis sums it all up in her article written for Advance Healthcare Network. For example, she discusses how it is always imperative to begin with good communication, continue to request feedback from staff, patients and families, encourage staff to provide their own ideas and suggestions, and ask your staff if you are focusing on the right concerns. Meliniotis also encourages emphasis on interpersonal skills, being adaptable, and showing empathy. In particular, it is essential
One may wonder exactly what it is that qualities a strong leader possesses. A strong leader is determined, and strong willed. They must be of good judgment, and without bias. They cannot easily be persuaded, and they are firm, yet at the same time, a good lead must also empathize with his subordinates, and have the best interest at heart for said subordinates, at all times. However, with that being said, a good leader cannot be afraid to discipline his subordinates when necessary. Unmistakably, being a leader is a very difficult feat – one which not everyone can accomplish. A leader must be an authority, a friend and a counsellor, all at once. They must be responsible, and always take into account the disadvantages of a situation. Not everyone is suitable to be a leader, whereas, just about anybody can be a good role model.
An example of this could be how a boy is a son to his father or Obama being a president, those are statuses. Within someone’s status, there is a certain way the person is expected to act to live up to the status they hold, this is called a role. The role the person performs while holding a status (Macionis, Jansson, Benoit 2014:89). A role is defined as a “behavior expected of someone who holds a particular status” (Macionis, Jansson, Benoit 2014:89). Best example of this would be a teacher and their role to educate the students. Currently the status I am holding is being a Marianopolis student. I could say I am a student but the reasons for being specific is because the school you attend as a student can make a huge difference in role expectations. You’re considered a student in high school and college but in college you have higher expectations especially in Marianopolis where it is more competitive. Furthermore, my role is to attend all my classes, stay on top of everything and pass everything. As a marianopolis student, it can be quite difficult; your role expectations can lead one to behave
Introduction Through identification and ongoing assessment of her leadership style and ability, this leader is able to develop and understand her own strengths and limitations in order to grow and develop into a more effective leader. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of servant leadership, contingency, and path-goal styles of leadership to gain an understanding of current leadership models, identify this author’s style of leadership, and explore why leadership is important to organizations, society, and this author. A Personal Model of Leadership Servant leadership was a term that was first used by Keifner Greenleaf (1970) in his first essay, The Servant as Leader (as cited by Crippen, C., 2005). Greenleaf based his essay on his belief that a servant leader is a servant first, and explained that it would begin with the natural urge to serve and then the leader would make a conscious choice to become a leader, in doing so he makes the choice to ensure that others needs are met first (2005 ). As a servant leader develops he should always keep aware of those who he serves and strive to ensure that they are becoming healthier, wiser, freer, have an increase in autonomy, and become more like servants themselves (2005).
ideals of leadership which could apply in a general case. This model emphasizes the fact that most leadership occurs in interpersonal interaction over an exposition to a large crowd. According to Scholl who performed a study at Jr. Labor Research Center, because leadership is constantly being evaluated by organizational members, superiors, and the public, there are always groups involved in the process as opposed to having a “formal leader” take charge (Scholl, 2003, pp. 2). He goes on to state that even though leadership assigns value to the individual role, there is never a point where the leader in that specific role exerts an absolute sphere of influence without competing claims (Scholl, 2003, pp.3). The process of exercising this type of leadership is inclusive and ethical because it gives an agency to everyone who is a part of the organization (Komives, 2007, p.74). Each person is a part of the leadership process because just be being a follower under a leader there is a relationship attached to oneself. This model is not descriptive but rather prescriptive. It tells one how to act and how to effectively lead rather than simply describe a process which can be observed in nature. The components of leadership involved include inclusivity of others views, the empowerment of those involved, being purposeful with one's goal and aligning others with that goal, and being ethical with good morals. As part of this model each component of this model must be part of a process which includes knowing, being, and doing (Komives, 2007, p.76). Knowing, being, and doing is an interrelated process which influences the leaders thinking and behavior. Knowing i...
The concept of a role model is very easy for children to understand because children learn through imitation and example. Having a role model is a clear way to have a person physically visualize the type of person that they, in this case, want to grow up to be. Many children have role models and deciding from a young age someone that one looks up to is very important. By acknowledging that another person has qualities and characteristics that one themselves wants to possess is a suitable way to set goals. A substantial role model is someone who has the qualities and characteristics of a person that someone should admire.
Many Scholars characterize the core qualities and skills necessary for an effective leader. Useem defines leadership as “Creating a vision and translating that vision into actions”. Historically, an effective leader was assumed to be exceptionally knowledgeable, authoritative, and dominate. Those leaders applied the command and control method to lead an organization. With the passage of time, this definition has been changed. The modern definition of an effective leader is honest, courageous, trustworthy, inspirational, and result-oriented. Today’s leaders create shared values and vision, and empower others to achieve their targets.
The term role model is defined as someone that is, in essence, a person that others look to as an example. At this time there is no one to be considered as a role model in regards to the endeavors or challenges that have been presented in this past couple of weeks; in regards to the classroom setting. Throughout the journey of becoming a nurse, many individuals will present themselves in the clinical sessions and in the classroom setting as someone that nursing students should look up to as being an ideal nurse.
In developing my own educational leadership model (MELM) I began with establishing what I believe the goal of education should be, since leaders by definition are leading people towards something. The goal of education is to effectively teach students the essential skills and knowledge they will need to establish a productive, positive, self-sufficient life where they can be active members of their communities. An effective leader, while working towards this goal will need to consider the present conditions and demands of the environment they are a part of. In the field of education, both internal and external factors are of crucial importance when developing a plan to lead for success. However, one must note the variables in education are different than those the business sector face, for example; student performance, ability and cultural differences; availability/condition of supplies and materials; goal; educator’s capability, views and attitudes; conditionality of economic support; openness/hostility of influencing communities; state or government performance mandates. A leader who knows where they (students, school, district, community) are now, can approach goals more clearly and develop more effective strategies to arrive at them.
Throughout my life I have encountered the chance to experience position of being a leader. Being part of groups in university for class presentations, being the organizing secretary of my campus fellowship, being a youth leader in my church and the church admin, also being part of a family. Leaders are charismatic, inspirational and trust worthy. I have gained some important qualities of being a good leader through these experiences. Most of the valuable leadership’s characteristics that I obtained and strengthened are: learn to become a better leader every day, how to be a team player, to be a better listener, to be an effective communicator, to have more patience, not afraid of constructive criticism, to be outspoken, and to be a problem solver. Even though I have gained a lot, I still have more things to learn to become a better leader such as being more assertive, being more disciplined, becoming a better public speaker, and learn how to be realistic and not too optimistic. You are a leader if someone else choses to follow you.
- The leaders who work directly with employees must to have willingness to listen to feedback and support them in working. Leaders must treat them with respect and positive attitude.
Leaders require essential leadership skills to effectively lead. The Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Academy teaches those essential skills to enhance leadership ability out in the fleet. During my time at the CPO Academy, I acquired vital knowledge and skills in leadership throughout the classes I took which I will be taking back to the unit. One class that had a significant impact was the Facilitative Leadership class which gave me the tools to effectively run a meeting. In addition, the Change Management class provided me with the skills necessary to support Command Policy and get crew buy-in. Lastly, the Stress Management class imparted me with knowledge on how to deal with stress and mitigate it.
There are so many aspects to being an effective leader, yet they are so easy to achieve but some leaders do not care to. Effective leaders must motivate, value their employees, solve problems, and be accountable. An effective leader is said to know the organization, the purpose,
What does it take to be an effective leader? This is something that has been asked many times over the course of human history. Some might say that having a strong personality and a commanding presence is needed in order to be a strong leader. Others might say that someone who stays on top of everything and keeps order is more effective as a leader. Everyone has their own opinion on this subject and in many regards, they are not wrong. Good quality leadership is something that is hard to possess and is not something everyone can do. Leadership is something that has been studied and analyzed many times, and from these studies, many theories have emerged from them. Each of these theories of leadership has their own benefits and can be useful
Individuals like to compare themselves to people that hold roles which they would like to aspire to. These people are generally called role models. Being a role model in a workplace is a very important and rewarding part of building a successful team in a work environment. Role models in a work environment are no different to role models in any other domain in that their actions, behaviours and values are seen as being desired by others.
