Brian Griffin Becoming a Conflict Competent Leader 2/16/13 Chapter one, titled “The What and Why of Conflict Competent Leaders”, provides an overview of the term “conflict competent” and sets the scene for the need of conflict competent leaders in organizational settings. Runde and Flanagan use a specific definition of conflict to focus their book around. The definition, adapted from Capobianco, Davis and Kraus, describes conflict as “any situation in which people have incompatible interests, goals, principles, or feelings” (Runde & Flanagan, 2007, pp. 4). Therefore, a conflict competent leader understands the principles, strengths and weaknesses of conflict and models appropriate learned behavior to foster a healthy organizational environment (Runde & Flanagan, 2007).
Definition: Leadership styles may also be known as management styles. They are the approaches that people use when directing and motivating people to achieve a task. The leadership styles we are most interested in are outlined as follows and only bad leaders will stick to one predominant style. Good leaders will change their style according to the circumstances and situation they are dealing with: • Authoritarian This style is used when the leader wants to achieve a task quickly. S/he will just tell the team or individuals what s/he wants to be done, when to do it and even how to do it without consultation from the team members.
Terry developed an Authentic Action Wheel to help leaders correctly answers. To use the Authentic Action Wheel you locate the problem on the outside of the wheel, and use the response that is connected to that type of problem. This wheel was designed to show leaders the best type of approach to take when solving problems (Northouse, 2013). Bill George’s approach is similar but different. George’s
“In order to handle this common problem there must be a complete sense of community responsibility”. Responsibility, which everyone should consider regarding this problem. “A new field in which technical operations, special characteristics should establish a community of interest, which might be regarded as a pilot plan for a new type of international collaboration.” These inspiring statements were deliberately used in such a context, to inspire people, to work for a better future. Towards “ a world, witch is united, and a world in which war will not occur.” Oppenheimer knew the basis behind the inspiration, he not only gave good reasons for the future first, but made it clear that the road to future could hold “democracy”, “and a new spirit of international affairs” will not come without “an enormous change in spirit.” The spirit that will ensure a change for the united community’s with more profound attitudes, such as “the common bond with other men everywhere.” The attitudes that even “Americans have being willing to die for”. By telling the philosophical meanings of the future he inspired people to head for a better
They are able to speak many languages of the individuals within the groups they lead. A good leader pays attention to the facts and then makes decisions based on objective analysis of those facts, that not to say humanitarian factors succumb to the bottom line. Effective leaders naturally motivate people from their actions, which include showing respect, listening, reflecting, and negotiating through conflict. Efficient leaders learn the strengths and weaknesses of their subordinates and cohorts and utilize group dynamics. Leaders encourage and empower people to achieve success rather than place blame.
According to Blanchard and Thacker (2007), this is necessary to show how important learning is for the success of the company as a whole. (p.91) 5. Learning styles and personalities must also be considered to design effective training. Because we are dealing with people, the training should be design to match people’s feelings as well as KSAs. 6.
However, the culture establishes the norms and defines how leadership has to work. A leader is the responsible to understand how to create people alignment in different cultures, and to cause damages to cultures that are not working properly, according to Shein (2004). Dickson et al. (2012) outlines that the way leaders are perceived in several cultures can be compared as culture impact in leadership. Those who do something relevant to society, whose distribution of power is hugely stratified, can be in the future imitated for other cultures.
More particularly, as it relates to Human Resources, the book articulates a road map to effectively implement necessary change. Our Iceberg is Melting suggests that an organization must: (1) create a sense of urgency (2) put a carefully selected group in charge of guiding the change (3) find a sensible vision of a better future (4) communicate the vision so others understand and accept it (5) remove as many obstacles to action as is practical (6) create some sort of success quickly (7) never let up until the new way of life is firmly established and (8) ensure that the changes are not overcome by stubborn, hard to die traditions. Reaction: I found this book to be an enjoyable reading experience. I particularly liked the
Writing this final paper is a good way of summarizing the main points about leadership and ethics and how that message can be conveyed, as what this management class did for me, to others who wish to become or improve themselves as leaders. Understanding the difference between effective leadership and ethical leadership is the first and most vital step in becoming a good leader. In my opinion, a good leader is a person who is able to lead a group or organization both effectively and ethically in unison. If one does not know the difference between being effective and being ethical, then the risk of
