It’s a good leadership if you already have all the information to solve a problem, or if you are under a pressure and is on a tight deadline. In the Public services this kind of leadership would be used in the army, if you have a hostage situation. Because you have all the information and there is one leader who tells the group what to do. 2. Democratic is where there is a leader who is interested in hearing what the team have to say.
Finally, accountability is important in everyday life no matter what job you have. Accountability is what keeps the military going and wins wars, and keeps big companies alive. If they didn’t have accountability companies would fall and the military would be
Once you make Sergeant they are going to remember those times you were late and question your ability as a leader. It is your duty to follow the orders of those appointed above you as long as they are lawful and moral. When you are told to be at a certain location at a certain time then you are expected to be there. If you can't preform the simple task of arriving on time to a formation or keeping an appointment, then responsibility. Respect is the key to a functioning Army all the way around.
What Weighs More? (Critical Analysis of “The Things They Carried, Paper 1) Tim O’Brien’s novel,” The Things They Carried”, deals with both the physical and emotional burdens carried by soldiers of war during times of conflict. The various physical burdens fall on a balance beam between necessity, and comfort. Dire situations only develop when the comfort of one soldier outweighs the necessity of the group. It could be argued that, it is better to be liked than to lead, which insures the conflict may be won with a minimal amount of bloodshed.
Once mastering these techniques, not only will you not get scolded for absences and late appearances, you will also look like a squared away, punctual soldier, with the look of being a motivated individual. Punctuality and responsibility for your own actions are key if you want to make being in the military as a career, let alone in the civilian world. Now, time management is a very easy technique to master, but the trick about it is that it is not something you just get, it is something you work for and is solely based on the individual involved. If you really work at it, stay motivated and practice using this technique, then it will come to you quickly and will be in your personal arsenal in your pursuit of seeming squared away. On the other side of that coin though, if you are generally unmotivated, lazy, or just plainly don't care, then
The second lesson was that a leader needs to be seen as someone who is thriving under a difficult circumstance. This will inspire Soldiers to do their best because they will push themselves if they see you doing the same. As I said, easy lessons, but they need reinforcement. 3. Platoon Leader: A Memoir of Command in Combat by James R.

Subordinates are expected to obey orders without arguing back or in need of an explanation to do what they have been ordered to do. In the public services this leadership maybe used when you have all the information to solve the problem or you are working to a deadline. This is not an effective way to get the best result from a team, but it has some advantages in situations where there is pressure to get the task done, like in the armed forces.
Deliberations become intense, emotions run high, and disagreements take a personal turn. This is especially true when there is a lack of mutual trust and respect or when leaders are placed in a difficult situation that results in clashes of cognitive and affective conflict. In an uncertain group situation such as the dynamics of the expedition, the input is either maximized (Hall and Fischer) or minimized (Krakauer’s doubts to Hall). When someone does not trust the effectiveness of his or her own voice, they often look for an autocratic leader to reduce uncertainty (Schoel, Bluemke, Mueller, and Stahlberg, 2011). Unfortunately, an autocratic leadership style is often not the best solution to public good dilemmas because it threatens the stability of the group (Vugt, Jepson, Hart, and Cremer,
