From this case, there have two theories would be a “best fit” for Dr. Jannie. One of the suitable theories that make The Hour Glass successful is Trait Theories. This theory leadership focuses to identify a link to successful leadership in a variety of different personality traits and characteristics. While Trait Theory builds off of the “Great Man” theory, it still adheres to that leadership is naturally indispensable. The search for the characteristics or traits of effective leaders has been studied by the central leadership, which leads to the assumption that leadership is embedded in the characteristics of the individual.
Through these themes the assessment found occupations that I could consider looking into more. One of those occupations was a Facilities Manager, which I could see myself overseeing and organizing the workplace that I would facilitate. The last assessment I took was the, “Personal Values Clarification” assessment which allowed me to take a deeper look to my core values I treasure. My top five values were: Justice, Wisdom, Loyalty, Family, and Creativity. After reviewing my values, I noticed that some of them intertwined with another.
My top five strengths include relator, adaptability, strategic, competition, and focus. When getting the results back from my Gallup strengths report I couldn’t believe how well it described me. First is relator, because of my strengths I have friends that come to me for guidance, suggestions, or recommendations and it makes me feel great to be able to help them. I feel really good about life when people give me credit for reducing difficult-to-understand ideas to more learnable forms. My second strength is adaptability.
I chose John F. Kennedy as my great leader because, Even though he was known to be a leader who possessed transformational style, he also possessed other leadership styles which helped describe Kennedy such as behavioral, but the servant leadership style is that which really represented John F. Kennedy. If we need to better understand the concept of servant leadership, there are many characteristics in servant leadership which include empathy, listening, healing relationships, persuasion, awareness, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to building a community, and commitment to the growth of people.

Leadership is can mean different things to different people. To me, leadership is more than having a title and subordinates. Leadership is having the courage to make the right choices, engage others in a vision, and empower your subordinates with a shared purpose and to achieve positive impacts. Leadership can also be relational which means it takes teamwork, requires you to be able to work with others in various backgrounds and that may have difference perspectives. Leadership also requires continuous learning, discerned decision making, and savvy communication skills.
Leadership is the ability to guide or influence others with an objective of achieving a desired outcome. It involves influencing beliefs, opinions, values, perceptions, or behaviors of an individual or a group, and it is an amalgamation of inherent personality traits, learned skills, and it is a response to situational stimuli. I believe that, at any particular moment, where two or more individuals are interacting, one of them will emerge as the leader the other(s). To me, this means leadership role is fluid, and it changes as situational stimuli changes. For instance, during interpersonal interaction involving two individual, the leadership role has potential to shift from one individual to the other, as the situational stimuli changes.
People define leadership differently. Leadership is said to be a process through which leaders influence other people in the organization by helping them achieve the objective. Several theories of leadership and leadership have been developed to explain leadership. For example, researchers have developed leadership styles like transformational leadership styles and transactional leadership styles. The leadership styles explain the different types of leadership that are found in organizations.
3.2 Model Criteria The EFQM model criteria focuses on nine different principles that describe what an organisation does, how it does it & what it achieves. Five of these principles are “Enablers” and the other four are “Results”. The criteria can be traced back to the fundamental concepts as they share similar ideals. Figure 2 below shows the criteria model with the nine core principles.
The Big Five Personality Traits are divided into five broad characteristics, which is basically used to describe the variations of human personality. The various characteristics are: • Openness • Agreeableness • Conscientiousness • Neuroticism • Extraversion This model has gained particular popularity as it shows the different traits in a person which comes up with the situational change around the person. Shritika is an entrepreneur by profession and thus meets a lot of client in her workplace. Thus, she shows the trait of Conscientiousness in her behavior of enjoying her work and meeting up new clients is a part of her job role.
The two themes I feel relate are developer and individualization. A developer “…cultivates the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these improvements.” Additional, those who have the theme individualization, “… are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. They have a gift for figuring out how people who are different can work together productively.”
In my opinion, I feel like Character is the pillar that is most dominant in my personal characteristics. I strive to be a good person who has morals and always wants to do the right thing. I feel that I am an all around trustworthy person and I works hard for everything I have. My drive and determination to excel are parts of my character that works in conjunction with scholarship. My grades reflect my hard work and determination that are naturally a part of my character.
