1351 Words6 Pages

As a military officer in the Army I can relate to all that you mentioned in your discussion. Being younger than your enlisted subordinates provides you the opportunity to learn from your subordinates; especially your senior enlisted Air Force personnel. Ask them for their opinions on certain areas that you may struggle with. It shows that you are humble and interested in learning. It also shows your senior enlisted personnel that you value their insights. This relates to perceived organizational support, which is one of the four workplace attitudes that managers should track (Kinicki & Fugate, 2016, p. 50). It also relates back to participative leadership as mentioned in your discussion, which can be used to facilitate a high-performing …show more content…

    The Spartans believed that the youngest men in the army should defend the older and more experienced military men especially well. Although their “knees are no longer nimble” , it is apparent that the Spartans valued the wisdom and experience that seniors brought to the battle field nearly as much as their fighting ability. Through rank structure, this notion holds true today in nearly every armed forces organization. The longer a member devotes his life to the organization, along with the achievement of certain qualifications, the higher rank he achieves. Each rank has fewer members than the last, presenting seniors with a sense of reverence from the junior personnel.

    The previously mentioned principles will relate to my time as a junior officer because there will be countless occasions where I will need to rely on those around me. When I enter my first unit, it will not matter where I graduated from or what I accomplished as a civilian; What will matter is my ability to effectively lead a team of people who collectively have more experience and knowledge than I do. I realize I cannot rely on just myself to get the required job done and I will go through my own “forming, storming, norming, performing” phases. It is nearly impossible to enter into a team environment as a stranger and instantly begin “performing”. Your team must understand who you are, what your intentions are, and that you are willing to be selfless for the overall

    Leadership, as per my understanding, could mean leading others to rediscover themselves by providing guidance, not through what-to-do lists, so they would reach the necessary urge to reach a better state personally and professionally. During Dorsch employment, I have noticed great potentials in my colleague; I convinced him to switch jobs from a drafting person to a civil engineer, by presenting the textbooks and resources needed, guiding him along the transition phase and by presenting, through examples, how easily could be the learning process and transition. Along my career, I lead my colleagues to produce integrated solutions, by creating the urge to know the answers of different what-if scenarios for their solutions; I bring textbooks and tools to convince them; I present examples of what should be done, the benefits of efforts done and the consequences of careless isolated solutions. Not only one colleague now is persuading her dreams by studying post graduate in Netherlands, but also she got an award to be distinguished;

    Introduction Organizational Behavior is the field of study which investigates the impact that individuals, group and structures have on behavior within the organization. We are born in an organization, we live, we work and most probably we will die in an organization. Yet most of us do not understand how people function, behave and interact between each other within these organizations. We also do not understand if people shape an organization or an organization shapes people. Different people work differently in different situations.

    Before I attend to this class, I think Organizational Behavior (OB) is a concept how behavior affects the management, leadership and relationship among people in an organization resulting from the meaning of OB word by word.
