In SLII, there is a recognition that leadership is "done with people, not to people." The change in words illustrates this change of philosophy accurately.
In a sense, the two models have slightly different conceptualizations to reflect changes in the audience. Situational leadership was developed by the authors in 1972, when leadership styles were far more autocratic than they are today. Leadership was done to people in those days. Today, leadership is done with people. . The authors have recognized this fundamental shift in the prevailing leadership attitudes and made the appropriate changes to their model to reflect this. However, the terminology used in the original situational leadership model will still appeal to autocratic leaders. The SLII model's terminology will appeal more to modern leaders. As the excessive and clumsy use of the registered trademark symbol throughout their paper indicates, these concepts are products being sold. A shift in wording to update a product and make it more appealing to a modern audience is clearly...
The axes remain the same (high, low, supportive, directive). Since the fundamental role of leadership describe in the model has not changed, only the ways in which a leader might implement those fundamental roles. So SLII can be viewed more as an update to the original model rather than a wholesale change. Certainly, the model works the same way, and roughly describes the same functions. As such, the natural conclusion is that there is not much difference between situational leadership theory and situational leadership II.

Great Man Theory Great Man Theory of leadership originated in the 19th century. It was made popular by writer 1840s by Thomas Carlyle in the 1840s. Carlyle argued that history is shaped by the actions of great men—leaders in all spheres, such as Shakespeare, Napoleon, or Wagner. His point was that great men are the leaders who inspire and influence all followers and that great leaders had something heroic about them
When this happens, they will be effective in reaching out to different patients (from a host of backgrounds). This is the point that the underlying quality of care will improve. As a result, I have learned how to apply these concepts to real world health care environments. This will help in day-to-day practices by preparing me for the new challenges that will be faced on a continuing basis. Recommendations /
Most conclusions on this approach were vague or indecisive in terms of social, psychological or mental significance (Rice, 1978, 1981; Graen et al., 1972; Ashour, 1973). Furthermore, over the years, many scholars have come to the realization that leadership is situational and hence there are many realistic settings like the environment, the employees, the resources, etc. that determine the characteristics needed in a leader as well as his/her business approach
They are not forced to only do what others in the company want. That is a big problem with followers, as well - they feel as though they cannot do anything on their own and/or that their interests are not valuable to the company. Some of these people have great ideas, but if no one listens to them it becomes very hard for them to keep their interest in working
Sustainability Phase 3 Discussion Board The article that I have selected is "A framework for vulnerability analysis in sustainability science," by Turner et al. (2003). The authors advocate for a system that allows scientists to fully understand "the consequences of changes taking place in the structure and function of the biosphere." The authors argue that current vulnerability assessments are insufficient, and move the discussion towards an enhanced framework. Sustainability science is defined as
Leadership For a business or an organisation to be successful, there is a need for well trained and effective executives / leaders. An organization without proper leadership will find it very difficult to achieve sustainable success. Leaders help in drafting and disseminating information about new visions or directions and providing staff with the right motivation to boost productivity in this age of intense competition. Therefore, it is necessary for companies to
