Ng is now chief science officer for Baidu, China’s leading search engine company; he directs Baidu’s AI research effort in Silicon Valley. Ng’s move, from leading US tech companies to a Chinese tech powerhouse just moving into AI, is indicative of a wider shift. China, increasingly, is seeking to challenge Western dominance in AI.[unique_solution] “Artificial intelligence” refers both to systems that show aspects of human-like intelligence–understanding language, reasoning, problem solving, and the like–and to the field concerned with the development of such systems. Recent developments in…

Leadership That Gets Results article review Dan Goleman has described six leadership styles in the journal article “Leadership That Gets Results.” From the outset, leaders who are deemed successful are expected to apply a multiple of styles depending on the circumstances at hand because circumstances may be different altogether. On the other hand, Bjugstad et al. (2006, p. 311) view leadership from the perspective of followership using the contingency theory, whereby followers should be ready to be led. The leadership style used should be in tandem with the demands of the situation being addressed. Leaders and followers can work together with each other to produce the best results. A ‘follower’ means a person who follows the opinions, styles, and teachings of others or a person who imitates others. For a long time, followers in organizations have been misunderstood to imply people with lower ranks in the same organizational system. However, that should not be the case. Compared with the currently relatively mature leadership theories such as visionary, transformational, and charismatic leadership style, the follower theory or model has revolutionized the…

Discussion on Leadership Styles On transformational leadership style: I fairly often go beyond my self-interest in order to not only act as a role model to my follower team members but also to earn their respect and trust. Similarly, I frequently consider the moral implications of my decisions in order to make the correct decision that does not negatively impact any individual member in my team. As a result, I am able to avoid unnecessary confrontations within the team that may negatively influence the outcome of our project. Furthermore, I frequently talk optimistically about the future in order to encourage my team members to be more productive and objective in whatever they are doing. Finally, I frequently help others to develop their strengths for various reasons in order to make them more productive in the work environment. Additionally, based on the transactional leadership style, I frequently make it clear on what one can expect to receive when performance goals are achieved in order to encourage my team to be more focused and productive. According to Northouse (2018), contingent rewards motivate…

Personal Leadership Essay In my early years, I thought leaders were people who only led big organizations and a country. I always underestimated leadership and never imagined that a father heading a family would be termed as a leader. I thought that leaders are only elected by others to lead in big platforms. They also had to be charismatic in leading their followers towards a particular path. This included having a persuasive speech and unmatched character that made them enviable to all. However, as my age progressed, I changed my views on this aspect. I started appreciating the responsibilities my father was undertaking in the family. I felt that leaders are not determined by the number of people being led or the size of the organization. My very first experience when it comes to witnessing a true leader was looking up to my dad as an entrepreneur and his common behavioral traits as a leader to help him manage his business and motivate his employees. He was a decisive leader that embraced change and always inspirational and empathetic. He always…

 leadership development methods There exist various leadership development methods. The first approach involves challenging assignments whereby individuals use the harsh experiences they have encountered and how they handled the challenges to develop the capacity to handle more challenging situations. There is also the risk management strategy that involves developing leadership competency from the necessary support that organizations offer employees to mitigate risks. The third technique involves real-life problem-solving in a controlled environment where an institution uses real-life situations to enhance leadership qualities among employees. Another method of leadership development is training, and it involves the use of formal training to help leaders execute their roles successfully.
