What was the major difference in leadership style between Winters, Sobel, and Dike? The difference in leadership styles was that Sobel had chosen a forceful and negative approach. He drove his men harder than any other leader and inflicted punishments whenever he felt the need to. Although he had brutally driven his men so hard, he was incapable of doing most of what was expected of his soldiers who constantly mocked and bet over who would get to shoot him once in combat. Dike had been the exact opposite. Dike had avoided his men, refused to make decisions, and would constantly disappear when he was needed most. Unlike the previous two, Winters had been one of the best leaders WWII could have had. He helped his men perform at the highest level …show more content…
When explaining the topic, I was completely lost and had trouble catching up but as soon as there was a demonstration, I soon caught on and was able to complete each equation with confidence. How much of your time is spent on personal growth compared to the time you spend investing in your team members? I feel as if I spend around the same time on personal growth as I do with team members. I try my best to often balance both but at times focus on my growth more than the other. I feel that if I am not an efficient leader, those who follow me will begin to doubt me and question my methods or actions. How often do you find yourself imposing higher standards on others than you impose on yourself? How can you close the gap? I do not often impose higher standards on others than I do on me, but there are at times where I occasionally do. To fix this, I will make sure to either split up the task or guide them throughout the process. This way, everyone works as one and everyone has an equal amount of level of work.

In conclusion, all types of leadership are similar in ways such as taking initiative or setting the example. However, different types of leadership have a different perspective depending on the situation. Combat leadership is high-risk and requires a single-unquestioned authority. A certain level of responsibility and decisiveness is necessary. On the other hand, leadership in the dorm has an entirely different perspective, one of patience, listening, and finding a thought-out solution. Both leaders are necessary to lead the group, but differ dramatically in style based on the
It takes a long time to become an effective and respected leader but can evaporate very quickly with one misstep. It needs to be nurtured and cultivated every day. My personal leadership style is to observe and correct. As a junior member, one of my Chief told me, “I don’t care how long it takes you to do a job as long as you do it right the first time because if it is wrong you will be the one fixing it.” That resonated with me because it allowed me to take risks and learn from my mistakes making me a better technician. I firmly believe one of the best learning tools is failure. His statement let me know it was all right to fail but if you do you will be learning from it. Identifying weaknesses within my leadership abilities and striving to correct them will result in being consistently looked upon a leader within our
Collaborative leadership is my preferred leadership style. This is because I believe that if everyone contributes and equal participation is encouraged then great things can be achieved. As the cliché saying goes, two heads are better than one. However, an issue I found with collaborative leadership is that not everyone contributes and there is a risk that one person will dominate and not allow others to participate. Often the loudest and opinionated members will contribute while the quieter individuals will generally not contribute, especially if they are not with their friends.
What makes a leader? The Army defines leadership as providing purpose, direction, and motivation while accomplishing the mission and improving the organization. I believe the Army created the definition, competencies, and attributes based on leaders of the past. MAJ Richard D. Winters, I believe, is one of those leaders. MAJ Winters is known for his command of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division during WWII.
Every leader must be able to accept the fact that they are not perfect and each person has things that they exceed at and things that come with a bit of difficulty. I do not see myself as being outstanding in a certain area but I do think that one of my talents is adjusting to change. When I came off to college I did miss my family a lot, but I kept myself busy by being more outgoing and finding new/different things to do. One of the reasons why I am probably so good at adapting to change is because I want change; I love switching things around and doing stuff another way.
The qualities of leaders and duties of individuals for making a productive team are encouragement and confidence but not overconfident. Making a team better depends on the leaders of the groups. The ones who stand out, the ones who make an effort to inspire others. These are the people who make organizations better. They get soccer players to work together as a team ,help them be more social,also get the work done and stay on task.Machiavelli,Cicero,and Crito Have great examples of what a leader and what duties individual consists of weather it's a prince, or the duties citizens have to their country and to their friends.
Leadership is similar to parenthood, just the thought that a mirror reflection effect can be achieved is a possibility that can make us think twice the way we conduct ourselves, the reality that others will do as I do, say what I say and like what I like, makes me realize that the need for guide, teach, encourage and discipline will be required, from that perspective I understood and discovered that lead others is as challenging as it is rewarding. Having experienced both areas, I can honestly say that I have made my share of mistakes and blow ups, lost my temper and been hot-headed a few times before. But the good news is that with every slip, trip, and fall, I have learned valuable lessons.
Take caution to never compromise these building blocks of a relationship, as it will compromise your own being. A good leader will foster an atmosphere of growth, ingenuity, ideas, and comfort. It does not mean that a good leader will not focus on the growth of the organization, but rather involve and engage everyone in the organization. Show them their value and importance of their daily contribution is respected and welcomed. Employee engagement in, The Leadership Experience, states, “Fully engaged employees care deeply about the organization and actively seek ways to serve the mission.” (Daft, 2016). It requires to put aside ones ego, and to work on the development and growth of others. At times to forego our own personal goals, in order to assist other to achieve theirs.
The first two equations, were a preparation for the final, building up towards the complete idea. This helped, because I could complete the first two pretty quickly.
Leaders can have a powerful impact on the futures of many, and the way in which one approaches leadership is paramount to the type of impact one will have. Continual growth in the areas of knowledge I have and seek to acquire, as well as recognizing my leadership style and utilizing my personal strengths to the fullest, is vital to the successful implementation of my personal philosophy of leadership.
Finally, relationships in the work place and in our personal lives are one of the most important aspects that define us as individuals. Everyone knows how much more can be accomplished in a situation where there is a good working relationship verses the opposite. In a leadership role it is important to have a good understanding of each individual team member. This understanding can include what motivates, what is important, and how the leader can tap into these resources. As each of us progress in our leadership roles, it is important to remember, it’s not all about me. I believe once we accept any type of leadership role, we accept the responsibility to serve others. If we consider it only for personal gain, we will probably not be remembered as a good leader.
As a leader I want to focus more what other people have to offer. I want to focus on what my followers have to say and what ideas they have to bring to the table. In a leadership situation everyone that is supposed to be involved should be involved. No leader should single someone out leaving the rest to sit silent. I should never pick favorites. There should be a somewhat fair playing field as far as problem solving and conveying ideas. I should promote this and do what I can to better myself if I see
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.
Personal development is something that I think has no limit, you always strive for improvement of your personality, characters or values. The first thing that I would develop further is self-confidence. A good leader should be always confident in his/her decisions and be sure in the correctness. If I compare myself couple of years ago I can see a big progress on this however this is the area where I still need to work further. The second character is linked to the first one which is decision making. This problem does not surprisingly show up at work but rather outside work. At work I feel confident about the decisions which I make, after thoroughly analyzing everything, however in everyday life I m...
Shortly after taking this class, it became apparent that this class offered more than what was initially expected. Learning the formulas, concepts, and processes necessary to solve the equations became more valuable than one could ever imagine. The position as a Consultant that was applied for was offered and accepted because of the information that was taught and the understanding that was gained in the class. This class was and will continue to be instrumental in providing the much needed information necessary to accomplish the task that are a requirement in this position and I am forever grateful to Professor Raymond for the patience and style displayed in his teaching of this class.
