Everyone is watching how I not only act but lead because I am in a leadership position. This makes me even try even harder to be a great leader and a positive role model.

Sederer encourages leadership skills such as motiving employees to work harder by believing in them as well as supporting them (Sederer, Leadership).

I believe that as a senior carer I have great responsibility to be a role model for all team members.

By evaluating and comparing my characteristics with my admired leader, Janet Mock, “People working for charismatic leaders are motivated to exert extra effort and, because they like and respect their leader, express greater satisfaction” (Robbins & Judge, 2013, p. 381). Developing those additional leadership skills and advancing the characteristics I currently possess, will allow me the opportunity to expand my horizon. Conclusion Understanding and evaluating leadership styles and theories can allow an individual to assess his or her capabilities.
Taken together they are, I believe, the foundation blocks of the person-centered approach. Its Characteristics But what do I mean by a person-centered approach? For me it expresses the primary theme of my whole professional life, as that theme has become clarified through experience, interaction with others, and research. I smile as I think of the various labels I have given to this theme during the course of my career nondirective counselling, client-centered therapy, student-centered teaching, group-centered leadership. As the fields of application have grown in number and variety, the label "person-centered approach" seems the most descriptive.
