¶ … submitted annotated bibliography of three sources. The first statement given by the author will be about the common themes that are covered and expressed in each of the articles. The second and final statement is what can be drawn from the three sources in concert. Indeed, the three articles all cover types and facets of leadership but they each approach the subject from an entirely different perspective and focus on different things. While the articles are different in many ways, there are some emerging themes that can be pointed to.
To build a little bit on the answer given in the introduction, the three articles all focus on the psychological traits and methodology of leaders. However, the particular facets assessed and how they are assessed is different from article to article. The Lillenfeld article looks at the potential or actual presence of psychopathic traits in former United States Presidents. Rather than condemn and label this as a bad thing, they actually pose the theory as to whether it is a good thing for Presidents and similar leaders to have at least a modicum of these traits in their mindset and skill set (Lilienfeld et al., 2012). The Van Eeden article looks at the personality traits associated with certain leadership styles with the two main foci...
Finally, the Odom article looks at the impact of personal growth endeavors when it comes to leaders. Irrespective of the leadership style or projects attempted, the article stresses that leaders undergoing these projects need to be introspective and self-reflecting for the projects to be as effective and complete as they could and should be (Odom, Boyd & Williams, 2012).
If there is a message or singular outcome that one could garner from the three articles combined, it would be that certain traits, development and styles of leadership can accomplish a litany of good things and there is no singular leadership style that will work in all situations. Indeed, there may be instances where a psychopathic-style person, presuming he/she is not acting in a maladaptive and pernicious way, can actually be of benefit to a leadership situation. Similarly, there are situations where a transactional leader would be ideal. Other times, a transformative leader is the kind that is needed. Put another way, one cannot point to a single leadership style (such as transformative) and assert that this is the only sort of leadership style that is needed and that it could and should…

Diversity in the workplace is a common subject for management scholarship, because the issue can be very complex and challenging for managers. One of the lesser-known areas of diversity management is simply dealing with people who have very different personalities. This can be as challenging as managing people from different cultures. Milliken and Martins (1996), in a relatively early study about managing diversity, note that diversity in group composition affects a
Barclay goes on to identify the Christian inspiration (Christ Himself), the handicap (the effects of Original Sin), and the means for perseverance (Barclay references the word "hupomone," which is another way of saying "the patience which masters" things) (173). In the same manner, Donald Guthrie speaks of the text as showing a "need for discipline" (248). Guthrie observes that the discipline must be Christ-centered and Christ-focused: "Looking to Jesus (aphorontes
Charismatic Leadership By Ylva Sandberg and Christopher M. Moreman The two authors commence their article by assessing the role of charisma in efficient management, given specifically by the ability of charismatic leaders to motivate and influence their peers and subordinates. The literary challenge of charisma is represented by the assessment of its nature and the division of tools and mechanisms by which charisma can be created. Still, it would most often

Dickens took a dim view of London's preoccupation with materialism and commercialism -- even though he greatly empathized with the constraints that Londoners of the lower-classes felt. Bob Cratchit, the poor but humble clerk in the office of Scrooge, serves as the representative of the impoverished but decent working class, with whom Dickens sympathized in the mid-1800s. However, like many of Dickens' characters, he is more fantastic than realistic. Dickens'
