Characteristics of a transformational leader are providing vision and direction, gains trust from others, communicates expectations and critical purposes, motivate and influence rationality, advises, and guides individuals (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 383). I tend to be creative with the task given to me and I have the ability to think outside the box. Although I have a high attention to detail, my critical thinking and problem-solving skills make me an effective leader amongst my peers. “[T]ransformational leaders also show greater agreement among top managers about the organization’s goals, which yields superior organizational performance” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 383). According to a study conducted by Gong, Huang, and Farh (2009), employees who work under transformational leaders had more self-confidence in their ability to be more creative and perform higher (pgs.
Introduction When it comes to my own personal coaching philosophy, I feel that it is best to be up front with my students and student athletes about myself, my beliefs and what I expect from them. As a coach and educator, I feel that it is absolutely necessary to establish trust and rapport with them in order to ensure that they know just what I stand for and why. With regards to my coaching and teaching philosophy, there are three theories that I strongly believe in and will incorporate into my instructional methods: Dualism, Pragmatism, and Transcendentalism. Through these theories I will stress their importance and how their application will benefit my students and student athletes not only in sports, but in life as well. Each of these
Training should be ongoing without being rushed. The team should regularly discuss, debrief, and have conversation to learn from each situation. The debrief process is a learning experience that makes possible the next level of complexity. Ultimately, the quality of the customer experience we deliver comes from the tone set at the top of the organization. That's why it's so important to have in place strong leadership which identifies for the organization.
Model the way – “you have to open your heart and let people know what you really think and believe.” I found this quote very convincing. From my experience, leaders that believe in the project or task and voice their values allows them to create a more open line of communication and set a positive tone for the group. This practice is very important in any leadership role because “people follow the person first, then the plan. “ Inspire a shared vision – having the desire to make something happen and create change. In order to do this the leader must understand their followers and “speak their language.” Effectively communicating the overall vision and expressing what you stand for are the key components to this practice.
Leadership and the Graduate Nursing Role Leadership and the Graduate Nursing Role My survey results indicate that my leadership style is participative. This result fits me well in my beliefs because I always encourage input from group members and take their opinions into consideration but make the final decision myself. According to definition of Lewin’s leadership style (as cited by Cherry, n.d.), it is to accept input from one or more group members when making decisions and solving problems, but the leader retains the final say when choices are made. Group members tend to be encouraged and motivated by this style of leadership. Input from group members with specialized knowledge and expertise provides a more complete basis for decision-making and hence this leadership style often leads to more effective and accurate decisions.

This applies not only to my individual projects, but to my efforts within group exercises. I seek to do the best possible job in all of my undertakings. When I do well, it makes me feel good about myself. I am not always expecting awards or recognition for the things I do, but receiving these things is always a positive. After answering the questions contained in the questionnaire, I see a definite pattern to how I work when it comes to group projects.
I completely agree with Greenleaf on his theory that if someone possesses the potential to be a servant leader they should, in order to improve our society and our governmental leadership. In addition, if someone does not possess the potential, I think that they should remove themselves from the situation and therefore follow someone who is a servant-leader. In addition, I agree with Greenleaf that leadership should only be decided on by the group of individuals that the individual will take leadership among. For example, in Student Activities Board (SAB) at Lynchburg College to earn a leadership position on the board you must first go through a preliminary interview on your experience and background, and then you will reach your actual interview where the board will test your leadership abilities and servant skills. S.A.B.
