Recommended: Importance of leadership traits

Frank Pace exemplifies a position of significant leadership and serves as a role model for my own goals as a leader, in many areas of my life. Frank Pace is currently an American Television Producer and Writer. Along with producing, Frank Pace has coached a private high school soccer team and led them to win top National Titles. He has led on the Board of Trustees at Jacksonville University for numerous years. Before becoming a producer Frank spent eight years as Vice President of the Phillips Organization, a San Diego based Marketing/PR Firm. At the age of 67, Frank still believes you need to grow in order to be a leader and he is still growing and learning every day. If I could close my eyes and picture the type of poise and personality …show more content…

I was not surprised when Frank answered with core values. Throughout our conversation there was a theme to his decision making and philosophy. That was, to always go with the choice that he felt was best for his team. Frank states that a leader’s biggest challenge is to make a group of people be able to work as one. To Frank this takes being 100% in tune with himself. In order to be a great leader you must have a moral compass when making decisions because you are responsible for more people than just yourself. Frank reminds me not to let the pressure get to you though. As long as you do what you feel is right you can’t make a bad decision. It’s important to remember not everyone may like the decisions you make but majority should. As I listen to Frank Pace talk about his values and how they relate to decision making, I think about how life is full of decisions and how each one got him to where he is today. I question the decisions I have made so far and how I have imputed my values into those decisions. I can say that I am a very intuitive person (INFJ) and that I do make decision based on my values in life, but when I think about being responsible for hundreds of people as Frank is, I’m not sure if I could stick to my values. Hearing Frank’s experiences, really makes me understand how having confidence and faith in yourself is an important part of

    Becoming a leader is never an easy task. It is complex with rational decision making and accepting responsibility for those decisions. Being the leader, does not mean that you always make the best choice, but it does mean you learn and grow from all you experiences. Sometimes becoming a leader is not a choice, but a responsibility that you inherit. Leaders are not born, but are created through trial and error. A true leader cares for his subordinate and will always respect, listen, and mentor them, but a true leader will also discipline correct subordinates when needed. Sometimes a leader needs to depend on his faith and look to a higher power, so that he can make choices with guidance.

    Leadership is defined as a process by which an individual influences others to obtain goals. There are three aspects that should be addressed when explaining leadership. One aspect is that leadership is a social influence process; leadership could not exist without a leader and one or more followers. Another leadership aspect is compliance; all of the leader’s directions must be complied with voluntarily. Compliance is what separates leadership from other influence-based formal authority. Finally, leadership results in the followers’ behavior, that is purposeful and goal-directed which must be in some organized setting (Leadership Theories and Studies, 2009).

    Many people associate leadership with a specific job title or form of power within an organization. However, through personal experience, I have concluded that leadership can come in many forms and position as well as from multiple sources of roles and job titles both with and without power. Based on the definition of leadership, anyone can be considered a leader as long as they have the ability to influence people to achieve a particular result or goal which benefits the organization or group as a whole. Individuals with a secure sense of self and understanding, acceptance of diversity within an organization tend to be the strongest leaders that not only make others want to follow, but they also encourage other leaders to gravitate to their
