Servant leadership and followership Servant leadership and followership are two terms that can be contradicting when it comes to meaning in the leadership world. The two terms though, have complex differences despite also having their similarities intact. Servant leadership is a philosophy of leadership, whereby the main objective of the leaders is serving. A servant leader vest power among the junior employees. He also gives priority to the needs of the workers while helping them make progress in their work and to earn even a higher rate of performance. A servant leader reverses the norms that are expected by the people by making the customer service associates as significant elements of the organization. On the other hand, followership is the traditional system of leadership where is the readiness to cooperate in working forwards to the set objectives of the organization while showing a high magnitude of teamwork among the members. Efficient followers are those who participate actively in bringing up the leadership system. The followers permit the authorities to establish control over them in situations that are people-oriented, efficient, and…

LEADERSHIP COACHING THOUGHTS Leadership coaching is defined as an individualized process whose main aim is to ensure that leaders build in their capabilities. Building leadership capabilities are meant to ensuring that they achieve long term and short term organizational goals (Milner & Armour, 2017). Various thoughts on leadership coaching have been expressed, with each having validating reasons supporting it. The various coaching skills’ thoughts are divided into multiple categories.

The various types of coaching include behavioral coaching, life coaching, coaching for leadership development, coaching for organizational change, and strategy coaching.

Leadership in Organization I think that evaluation of leadership ethics and morality is a bit difficult in the organization because evaluating an individual’s ethics and morals happen to be quite relative, and the interpretation of such findings or results may be viewed differently (Sidani and Rowe, 2018). Therefore in evaluating the moral and ethics, in other words, means that you develop a tool that ensures the alignment of the individual leader’s behavior on the job and the organization’s values. One of the factors causing difficulty is the growth of the business. The organization focuses mostly on profit-making and doesn’t adhere to the ethical and moral aspects of leadership. Furthermore, I believe that as the business organization grows, it becomes more difficult for making assessments and evaluations because it is possible to lose track of individual leadership morals and ethics. This implies that lack of consistency in adhering to the regulations and policies, especially in leadership, makes it challenging to evaluate ethics and morality. Moreover, ethics tend to be complicated, especially in their evaluation; therefore, to ensure that the assessment is…

Ethics Leadership In terms of applications of corporate ethics, leadership and ethical theories the Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company is a good example of an enterprise that is leading in ethics in the current corporate environment. The most important ethical theories that apply to the pharmaceutical industry include utilitarianism, moral ethics, natural rights and virtue. Basically, the utilitarianism ethics believes that ethics means doing the greatest good for the biggest number of people. For instance, a drug may be released with a few side effects but with great benefits to most people. Considering that all pharmaceuticals have side effects, the utilitarianism gives moral permission for them to be distributed because since the sum of their positive effects is much greater than the side effects they cause. In company ethics, morality describes the actions and conditions which most people term as good or bad depending on their internal values. Pfizer has in the last few years taken the moral position that is mission is life rather than death. For instance, Pfizer has taken the decision not to sell drugs used for lethal injection…

Challenges Facing Health Care Leadership Introduction Quality service provision is always the goal of every organization. The health care sector, in particular, is a field that receives a lot of interest due to its place in society. Staff shortage has however been a stumbling block in the attempt to ensure the smooth provision of services. The leadership is facing several challenges due to the issue of staff shortage. The issues brought about by staff shortage include uneven allocation of physicians and acceleration in the retirement of registered nurses. The cost of training and employing physicians has made the allocation to health facilities, a great challenge. The retirement of registered nurses, on the other hand, is a challenge if the recruitment of new nurses is not at par with the retirement rate. The issues brought about by staff shortage can be solved by ensuring proper communication, collaboration, and teamwork between the staff and leadership of the health facilities. The shortage of physicians can be attributed to the cost of training and employment. The issue of specialization also comes in to further…

Personal leadership theory My leadership theory would be best suited in a place where people involved have high-standardized skills and experience. Collaboration is needed for collective effort to be effective. The collaboration of different individuals with variant skills and abilities helps in the accomplishment of various tasks. Therefore I believe my leadership theory suits a place where people who are involved can handle and complete the assigned tasks. The results from the evaluation of my leadership theory are congruent with the results from the previous discussion on personal value appraisal. According to the results obtained from personal values appraisal, it is definite that the main stronghold of my leadership theory is offering services to fellow human beings through the utilization of the democratic process. The other leader who has had a tremendous impact on my leadership belief apart from the one mention in Unit 5 is Barack Obama, the former president of the United States. Obama had a unique ability and charisma that could result in to hope among the people of the United States. His Charisma made him an…

response Discussion 2: Your Leadership Profile Understanding leadership is not only beneficial at an organizational level but also an individual level. In this regard, understanding your leadership abilities is essential. Belief is one of the themes mentioned, which is instrumental in the nursing profession. Belief is synonymous with high ethical standards (An introduction to the belief CliftonStrengths theme, n.d.), which are essential in the nursing scope of practice.

Transcendent and summit leadership Transcendent leadership involves strategic direction within and amongst the level of organization, self, and others. Self-leadership involves the responsibilities of being proactive and self-aware in personal strengths development. The mechanism of interpersonal influence a leader has upon followers is the leadership of others. Organizational leadership involves strategy, environment, and the organization. Summit leadership is a type of leadership in which information flows only from the top. In summit leadership, it usually is unclear whether the people who attended the meeting have understood the message given (Aldon, 2005). Similarities and differences   Both transcendent and summit leadership involve leaders and followers intending to benefit one another. Both leadership skills have the main goal to achieve, which is to achieve success in the organization. Both leadership skills answer the question of how to manage subordinates, and they use psychological methods developed and tested over time. On the differences, transcendent leadership focuses on the whole organization, whereas summit leadership focuses more on the rules to govern subordinates (Avolio, 2005). Transcendent leadership mostly used in industries where the contributions from the employees…

Concept of Destructive Leadership Destructive leadership refers to a systematic and repeated behaviour of leaders, supervisors that violate the organization by sabotaging and undermining the organization resources, tasks, goals and job satisfaction or well-being, the motivation and/ or effectiveness of his or her subordinate. Leaders in the workplace influence the success of the business. They provide employees with direction on their responsibilities, expectation and motivation towards job satisfaction. The managers must possess the qualities and attributes of the leaders and leaders should also possess management qualities and attributes. In general destructive is a combination of behaviours, motivation and attitudes that adversely affect the mission, the organization and employees performance. Lack of concern to subordinate and organization climate by leaders result in short and long-term adverse impact.
