They tend to be dictators who provide a clear explanation to the team. This style of leadership is regularly used in the army. It could be used on a mission as the leader would have to communicate effectively what the team will have to do. They will need to be able to make plans and adapt plans quickly without input from others if something goes wrong. They will also need to have organisational skills as it is only the leader arranging what the team has to do.
I will not be expected to go beyond the limits of my role but if it is found that I did not exercise a proper duty of care I could be disciplined or even have legal action taken against me. My standard of work must be at a competent level within my role. This requires me to: 1. attend all training and keep my skills up to date 2. Provide a quality of service that demonstrates those skills 3. Know what must be done to provide a safe service 4.
The team leader plays various roles. The team leader needs to have a vision and a clear plan as to what direction the team is going in, and in doing so be one step ahead as to be able to lead the team. The next role I will go over will be the initiator or the brainstormer. This role is someone who suggests new ideas, and who can keep their mind clear to be able to listen to others ideas while keeping the team goal in focus. This title is not usually restricted to one person, in fact there should be several people who are part of the brainstorming.
I believe in people, but I also believe in structure and clearly outlined expectations. While I do believe that any successful organization is built on the people who work within it, a leader needs to be able to provide boundaries and task-oriented structure. For example, one of the questions that determined my P – or people – score was “I would turn the members loose on the job and let them go for it” (Daft, 2011). Though I do believe in empowering employees to be able to act independently, “turning members loose” seems to be a bit reckless. A leader who does that is not empowering their employees with the structure and tools necessary to be successful.
One important aspect of all of this is that perception is required in all steps of this model. This is just one of the many ways in which leaders can learn to become better at leading, but it is not the entirely representative of how leaders learn to lead and come to be. Becoming a leader requires that a person train for it; it requires the person obtain experience through practice and education. Leadership through Experience Experience plays a very important role in leadership. There could not be many great leaders if they did not go through some type of experience or play some sort of role that led them to where they are.
I understand the value of body language and behaviour. It’s important to do as I do and not as I say. I’m open to ideas and contributions and never dismiss an idea, even if it seems implausible at first. I have faith in my team and what they can achieve. I was instrumental in building the team, so must also take responsibility for its strengths and weaknesses.
If we have problems or disagreements I want to settle them in the calmest way possible. I want my employees and myself to make the clearest decisions that we possibly can. I want to be able to communicate so everyone understands what is happening or what needs to be completed. I don’t want employees saying they have no idea what they are supposed to be doing. That would be bad communication.
Answers are not uttered with the simplicity of "yeah" or "ok", but “sir yes sir" and “sir never sir". The very credo of JROTC demands respect at all times, and being able to give that respect means to be a good follower. After becoming a good follower, conversion to a LET 2 meant that I was given the responsibility of leading others. In this new position, I realized that patience is a requirement when dealing with others. It was now my responsibility to show others how to become leaders.
M3.10 – Introduction to leadership Reflective Review 1.1 The factors that will influence your choice of leadership styles or behaviours in workplace situations is identified. Before I can identify the factors that will influence my choice of leadership style I must first review the theories and styles of management and leadership, in doing this it is clear to me it is generally accepted that it is important to understand there are big differences between leadership and management, leadership always involves leading a group of people, whereas management needs only be concerned with the responsibility for things, many management roles have major people-management responsibilities, but the fact is that management does not necessarily include responsibility for people, leadership however definitely always includes responsibility for people: The biggest and most fundamental overlap between leadership and management is that good leadership always includes a responsibility for managing. Lots of the managing duties may be delegated through others, but the leader is responsible for ensuring there is appropriate and effective management for the situation or group concerned, the opposite is not the case. After reviewing the principles of leadership versus management and studying various leadership models, it is clear there is no single or simple solution which teaches us how to be a good leader/manager and that no one model or style is guaranteed to work in any given situation, it is therefore reasonable to assume when developing one’s own leadership skills that the most valuable skill you can develop, is the ability to have a good understanding/knowledge of the various principals, styles and models so you can avoid the less productive traits in favour of the more effective ones from each of the different styles/models: This also only works if you can clearly assess the
Authoritarian leadership can be useful and beneficial within some of the public services. When decisions need to be made quickly and without ideas or comments being made from other team members. A strong independent person would need to take on the lead of being in charge and being the leader, because this style is used in situations when things need to be done quickly the leader must know what they are doing and have a good solid idea and what they want doing and how they want it done by other members in their team. In different, stressful task, for example, during military conflicts, members of the group may prefer to have a team leader who makes all the important decisions and they may also prefer to have someone telling them what needs to be done and how they need to do it, therefore they will not have
