1. The Relational Leadership Model is a relational process of people together attempting to accomplish change or make a difference to benefit the common good. The Relational Leadership Model involves five primary components, which are inclusive, purposeful, ethical, process oriented, and empowering.

My group implemented some of the components of the Relational Leadership Model in our presentation. For example, under the component of purposeful we all for the most part had a commitment to the goal and activity we had to present, we also found a common ground with how we wanted to go about making a change towards structural racism. We did this by engaging the class with our topic drawing them in with the knowledge and background information of our topic, while raising awareness and reaching expressing the most effective solutions to solve our problem. Another component to this model is Inclusive in my opinion my group understood and engaged in diversity views and approaches mainly because our topic dealt with diversity so we were well rounded when it comes to being inclusive. Next, is empowering. In the group each member had a section they were responsible for; in order for each member to add their input into the group everyone first listened and approved of each idea. Moreover, next on the list is ethical. My group showed that we were ethical because our standards on this project were high due to the fact that we all wanted to receive a high grade on the project, we also all shared the same value of doing well on the project therefore, we made sure our work conveyed cohesion and collaborative efforts resulting in the full understanding of our topic. Lastly, the final component of the Relational Leadership model is process oriented. Under this component I believe my …show more content…

Lastly, the final component of the Relational Leadership model is process oriented. Under this component I believe my group lacked this aspect the most, at times it was extremely difficult to work together to fulfill the goal of the group. Although we all had the same goal to convey to the best of our abilities the problem of structural racism along with receiving a good grade on it somehow we lost sight of how to execute the project so we can all receive a good grade as well as raise awareness on the
The Transformational Leadership theory states that this process is by which a person interacts with others and can create a solid relationship that results in a high percentage of trust, that will later result in an increase of motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic, in both leaders and follower. Rules and regulations are flexible, guided by group norms. These attributes provide a sense of belonging for the followers as they can easily identify with the leader and its purpose. There are certain skills a leader must acquire to lead and delegate properly. Respect is one thing that must be displayed, just because one is a leader it does not mean they have all the power and authority over any individual.
Leader-Follower-Situation Model of Leadership: The main framework for thinking about leadership taught in the course was thinking about leadership through a different view: the L-F-S leadership model. To follow this model, a leader must consider the
In Chapter 7, we learned that if power and jobs are shared in small groups, rather than one person holding all of the power and responsibility, leadership can be shared, decisions can be made as a team, and groups may end up feeling more satisfied. As designated leaders are known from the start, others may emerge and use their power or ability to lead the group as well. This being said, it may be each group member’s responsibility to act in ways that will lead the team to success. With each group member having the ability to act as leader, groups members should use behavior that inspires the team to do their best. According to our textbook, leaders can be effective by promoting diversity, including all members, and not perceiving anyone as
Leadership is a joint effort by both the people and the leader and should be treated as such. With this collaborativeness we can successfully work as a nation just as the Leadership video stated. “Leadership provides people with a sense of security. Good leaders work with the people and ensure that they are safe…” (Source G) Understanding that the people come first and that all should work together is the first step to a properly functioning society.
Authors describe that leadership development is created by providing collective abilities and creating integration of leadership development with development of the organization. In traditional leadership development, collective development is neglected while individual development was the central concern. This contradicts the collective leadership development. The components of leadership strategies according to West et al (2014)
In developing this paper on leadership, I examined what was most important to me as a leader. As I reflected on my leadership philosophy, I thought about my experiences and the principals that I have learned through my own self-discovery and the observation of other leaders that I have had throughout my life. My leadership philosophy paper will focus on what leadership is to me, core values, and knowledge of others. In thinking about my definition of leadership, I thought of what was most important to me in and as a leader.
The five parts to the leadership are model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable other to act, and encourage the heart. The first practice is model the way. Martin Luther King Jr. represented model the way by setting examples, being a role model, and having numerous personal achievements. Edwards (2010) stated in the article “Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” the he inspired us to dream, challenged us to act, loved us and encouraged our hearts. Model the way did not just start with Martin Luther King Jr. First,
Leadership is a process of interactions between leader and other staff, where a leader is as a guidance that inspires other staff with vision (Marquis & Houston, 2012). A well known type of leadership theory are transformational leadership which were said has a positive
HOW LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOUR MAY INFLUENCE GROUP DYNAMICS IN ORGANISATIONS 1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this essay is to explain how leadership behaviour may influence group dynamics in organisations. Leadership behaviour is the behaviour; a leader exhibits (Malik, Aziz and Hassan, 2014) and according to (Malik, Aziz and Hassan, 2014) (House et al, 2002) leadership means an ability to influence, motivate and enable others in a way that they contribute towards the efficiency and accomplishment of the mission and goals of organisations which have employed them. On the other hand, this essay involves the study and analysis of how people interact and communicate to each other in small groups.
Critically compare and evaluate three themes or issues related to the practice of leadership discussed in the readings and set text taking into consideration a Biblical worldview. The three themes that are related to the practice of leadership that I will review are Model the way (leading by example) , Inspire a shared vision (leading continuous change) and Enable others to act (giving others the opportunity to lead and make decisions). In the book the Leadership challenge Kouzes and Posner define "leadership as the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations.
Leadership has been defined in a variety of ways, there are multiple authors and theorists who have tried to define and understand leadership, all leading to varying theories and conclusions, but one thing that is universally understood is the importance of effective leadership and how someone with good leadership skills can impact so many people around them. (Kakabadse and Kakabadse, 1999; Yukl, 2002; Northouse,2013) The main components that have been identified to play a role in leadership are relations between leader and subordinates, interaction form between leader and followers, the influence that the leader has, the way in which the leader behaves and finally a leader’s traits. (Yukl, 2002) These elements that make up a leader, are then used as building blocks to identify the way in which each specific leader deals with its followers.
You could describe and consider more models of leadership and discuss if they suit your workplace. ie, explain and compare a number of leadership models and discuss how each would work in your area. In part ii, you could also consider your own leadership skills now and say which skills you need to develop, then devise a PDP to bring about that learning. Topic:Understanding the need of health care activity is very important .
In fact, leadership is an art rather than a science. The process of learning leadership is a hand-on experience, which focuses on practice instead of concepts itself. This course provides me a chance to gain more insight about leadership and it helps me develop my new image of leadership. Meanwhile, I also use the theories in our textbook as a framework for self-assessment of my leadership skills and try to develop my own leadership style during the
So, building relationships is a leadership strategy that will help me improve my personal development. Now, how I can use this to help others in the future is quite obvious: I intend to educate people, whether in my social or professional discipline that when we engage in relationship building, then we can discover from others what we do not have. For instance, I have the skill of negotiation but lacking in the skill of decision-making. When we engaged in a relationship, the person that has a decision-making skill and me who has the capability to negotiate can learn from the relationship. This is a practical example of how to help
LEADERSHIP Ogbeidi (2012) found that leadership is referred as “ability to lead, direct and organize a group”. The study of leadership has developed scientifically through changing paradigms during its history where several models and theories have tried to explain the concept of leadership. Kuchler (2008) acknowledges that although subject of leadership is diverse and somewhat scattered but it tends to be one of the most widely discussed topics by the researchers all over the world. We found myriad definitions of leadership after studying detailed literature on it. The concept of leadership is described by different researchers with different perspectives.
