Role of Gender in Leadership Leadership provide an essential environment where leaders can be able to integrate critical strategies that are critical in improving organizational performance as well as the existing interaction within a given workplace setting. Organization and planning are important elements, which shape leadership, and thus the underlying level of commitment within a given setting is based on the ability to develop an integrated approach where it is possible to achieve a higher level of performance (Taylor et al., 2015). Leadership has been significantly diversified, especially considering the existing transformation within management. Why the choice of the topic Men have predominantly occupied leadership positions. However, in recent past, women have increasingly taken up leadership positions and excelled. The success of women in leadership has opened platforms for women who are aspiring to become leaders. Increased support and empowerment to women have been integral in helping create a diverse operational context within an organizational context. Leadership is largely complex and is associated with a high level of commitment, stress and critical decision making. Women were previously viewed as being…
Leader-Member Exchange Theory Discussion The leader-member exchange theory (LMX) is a type of leadership that is keen on establishing and maintaining working relationships between the leader and the followers. It focuses on working in close collaboration with the followers by engaging them in every step of administration and decision making (Day & Miscenko, 2016). It is for this reason that it is termed as a relationship-based approach to leadership because it is premised on a solid bond between the leader and the followers: a condition referred to the as dyadic relationship. It is worth noting that dyadic ties and friendship are distinguishable based on several factors. First, whereas dyadic relationship is a formal engagement between a leader and the subjects in which both parties must execute, friendship maybe informal, for instance, the friendship of a child to the parents where the child has no obligation to the parents, besides, it is imperative to mention that all dyadic relationships are premised on mutual benefits where the leaders enjoy true servanthood while follower expect rewards following their submission and allegiance. On…
Leadership: Discussion Board Question For over a decade, people believed in the underlying assumption that teams are the best way for leadership groups when it comes to solving problems in most businesses. However, with the ever-increasing need to work across geographical and organizational boundaries, and the increasing complexity of the daily business, more business leaders across all levels, are finding it difficult to set up a team (Katzenbach, 2012). They are heading to the call for potentially focused networks and subgroups that can work more efficiently in various modes that real teams. The project network has the advantage of the merits outlined by a team focused researchers, including the dedication and commitment of members and overcomes the risks associated with small groups by crossing team boundary for project feedback. While a team is a small group with leadership that shifts among the team members and is accountable for a specific and compelling performance reason, it has a beginning and end. Unlike the team, a network is a larger, casual, and loosely defined group of participants with diverse expertise who weigh…
Do you believe in what you know about yourself or what other people say you are? Looking at what matters between what we think about ourselves and what others think about us, it is a discussion that goes a long way with different people taking varied stands. Mahatma Ghandi’s saying that advises us to look at ourselves in other people’s eyes is an individual’s perspective which is open to criticism. I strongly believe that it is key for one to know themselves and work on what they believe in and stand for, because we are all created to fulfil different purposes separate from other people’s. Letting people tell us what we ought to be or do is a toxic state of being which makes people stretch beyond their ability. As stated earlier, we are created to fulfil different purposes in life. This way, someone may have already identified their purpose and is successfully working towards fulfilling it. On the other hand, if the same person expects you to be exactly like them, you might end up missing the point. Your…

Research on Josef Pieper and “Leisure; the basis of culture.” Background of the study The cotemporally philosophical understanding of Josef Piepers’ works and other philosophers of the ancient time intrigues thinking towards their subjects and pitching something to mull-over. Josef Pieper’s line of thought in this book tried to connect work and leisure in the medieval era and the current time. In the quest to understand about leisure and work, he presents a problem to the reader in which we are required to unmask the philosophical gist or the in-depth interpretation of his work subject to the past era and the present contemporary day. This book is a composite of two articles; leisure, the basis of culture, and the philosophical act whose meeting point is a congruence to the problem confronting the reader requiring a viewpoint, a critic, or an opinion towards Piepers’ school of thought. This paper covers research on this book “leisure; the basis of culture” in the bid to understand Piepers’ philosophical approach and his school of thought. Literature review According to Pieper, this book presents leisure…
Problems that low-income countries are facing due to the coronavirus outbreak. The coronavirus disease, COVID-19, an infectious illness first reported in Wuhan, china towards the close of the year 2019, has spread to about two hundred and four countries, making it a global pandemic. Currently, infections from the disease stand at approximately one million persons globally, with a fatality of about seventy thousand (Lloyd-Sherlock et al. 2020). However, the impacts are more severe in low-income countries, LIC, compared to developed countries. Lockdown is almost impossible in these nations since a majority of their population must work daily to afford food. Quarantine in some of the overcrowded settlement areas is also tricky. Low resources and lack of enough borrowing capacities among governments in LIC make it hard for them to deal with the pandemic (Sansa, 2020). This paper focuses on problems faced by these LIC as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Also, possible solutions on how to deal with the crisis and the role of the developed nations. LICs are experiencing a shortage of resources to deal with the pandemic.…

Initial Thoughts Literary work takes various forms, where the author has to integrate them into their work to make it more appealing to the general public. Language, image and other types are both significant in creating a visual impression of an element in the community and that the public is directed or driven in a particular direction with or without their concern and understanding. In this regard, the various authors have exercised their literary rights by integrating multiple forms of art to pass the message to the community regarding their past life events and its relations to both the present and future lives. Therefore, the detailed discussion outlines how these authors have employed the use of language, visual content, and sound in communicating with the community. As evident in Nostalgia by Katelyn Peters, the author creates an image of their immense relationship and friendship with his old friends whom they once failed with their bikes and developed a scar that never ends. The scar reminded him of the most significant moment of their lives a long time ago. The sounds…
