Leadership Principles Imagine that you work as a volunteer for the local community animal shelter called ABC Animal Rescue. You have volunteered for approximately four years. The Board of Directors has asked you to meet with a group of 25 volunteers and the local community during a fundraising event. The Board requested that you mingle with the volunteers, many of which you already know, and the local community members. The purpose of your mingling is to build relationships and trust between the organization (ABC Animal Rescue) and the community/volunteers. You agree because you are passionate about this cause. Using the results of the “New Drivers of Leadership” self-assessment (Focus & Speed), and the 10 traits from the Jones (2015) article “What Employees Want in a Leader,” describe how you would approach the community and volunteers to build relationships and trust.[unique_solution] Start your paper with an appropriately formatted Title Page per the Guide to Writing and APA.

LEADERSHIP AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT Introduction Change management is an essential element of leadership that needs to be backed up with a confirmed strong leadership strategic approach. In order to choose the appropriate change model, it is essential to have enough knowledge of the organization in terms of the specific areas that need change (Abbasi, 2017). This paper aims to evaluate models that can be used to facilitate change at Pemancar, interventions to be implemented, and anticipated resistance for change as well as the recommendations of reducing resistance. The two models that can be used in this case include Lewin’s theory of change and the Burke and Litwin change theory. The two primary interventions to be implemented are leadership and corporate culture. Additionally, the paper focuses on the possible resistance to change and recommendations to counter the resistance. Pemancar Case Study Analysis Organizational management entails a critical analysis of the organizational approaches of carrying out activities and formulating the right strategic strategies to solve the challenges (Will and Wetzel, 2017). Lack of motivation among the employees, lack of well-developed strategic management,…

Autocratic leadership style Leadership Scenario Leadership plays a vital role in organizations. Leadership enables a company to meet its objectives and achieve the mission and the vision of the organization. There are several leadership styles that can be used by leaders to meet the goals of a company. Common leadership styles are servant leadership, democratic leadership style, and autocratic leadership. I am going to analyze authoritarian leadership that I experienced working in the front office of a hotel. Many organizations want to achieve desirable goals, but they fail to take responsibility for the leadership style that has been adopted by their managers (Al Khajeh, 2018). Leadership style involves a combination of several characteristics and behaviors that leaders use when they are interacting with other employees. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the impact of authoritarian leadership approach on the performance of a company. In the hotel industry, leadership has assumed great importance. I have worked in a hotel where the manager at the hotel had the worst leadership skills. The leader I had an experience of working…

Effective and Authentic Leadership Character is defined as the actual moral condition of an individual. It partly depends on the inborn qualities and partly on the lessons that a person is taught while growing up and the circumstances he/she has passed thought during that growth period. Consequently, this can be cultivated through good habits in childhood. An adage goes that “sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit, and you reap a character”. From the interview between Charlie Rose and David Brooks, they discuss the book, which was written by Brooks with the title “The Road to Character.” He addresses his critical issue which concerns the modern western culture. Besides, Brooks criticizes people’s obsession, which focuses on self-saturation obsessiveness. From the interview, I agree that for an individual to achieve Character, he/she must have passed through many challenges, which will help them learn many positive lessons and build leadership qualities in them. N.T Wright discusses the relationship between virtue and Character. He emphasizes that Christians have become so preoccupied with who gets the eternal reward and who…

Moral Judgment in Leadership Leaders display unique leadership skills, depending on where they work and the training they have undergone (Dat & Lane 2011). Organizations are set up to meet different goals and objectives. Therefore the management must devise policies or management strategies to ensure they achieve the organization’s goals and objectives. However, the most common thing that should cut across leaders is that they display moral judgment or moral vision in their management work (Olasky 2014). Steve Jobs, a leader at Apple, comes out as one of the most influential and successful business managers in history. In his leadership, he concentrated on customer satisfaction, and he would lay off workers who could become found mistreating the customers. The strictness leads to a company of hardworking staff whose focus became tailored towards customer satisfaction (Rhode 2006). Due to his moral vision in business, Apple has become the best and the most valuable company in the world. The second leader is Tim cook, who is the CEO of Apple. Managing such a big company is not a walk in the park;…

Understanding Leadership Styles   Describe the factors that will influence the choice of leadership styles or behaviors in workplace situations. In the usual workplace environment different management styles are used to depending on the changes in each situation. A good leader uses a combination of management styles to ensure proper running of the work place. There are several factors which determine the management style in the work place and this include the task or situation, the team of workers and their preparedness to work, the team behavior as well as the leaders each with their own abilities.

The team of workers and their readiness for the task has a major influence on the management style. Researchers, Hershey and Blanchard quantified the readiness of the team and created…

Leadership paper    Leadership is one of the essential components that contribute to organizational success. Avery (2005), defines leadership as the quality of being able to mobilize people, or employees towards achieving a common set goal, for the advantage of the company and all stakeholders. Katz (2015), also defines leadership as the ability of an individual to influence and guide others towards a particular direction that is advantageous to them, or that will enable them to achieve specific critical set objectives. The leader, therefore, should possess a clear focus towards issues, maintain the utmost integrity, be a good team player, be courageous, and also have the utmost humility. They should also be able to make reliable and appropriate decisions without fear. These qualities enable leaders to be able to handle challenging tasks that may come up during their leadership tenures. Leadership works in a sophisticated way; in that, the chosen leader is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that those that he is leading can go in the same direction as him (Alimo and Alban, 2005). With the sole aim…
