When looking at Mr. Shaiban through the six characteristics of a leader in which Wren identifies, it can be concluded that Mr. Shaiban exhibits a majority of them and thus can be considered a leader. For example, Mr. Shaiban is clearly driven and has leadership motivation in that he often is seen leading by example and is not the type of supervisor who is not willing to get directly involved in a project. Further, Mr. Shaiban is honest and has a high respect from his employees and his superiors, which demonstrates his integrity. More s, as can clearly be seen by his ability to function in a complex, high-tech based industry, he has both the cognitive ability and industry knowledge needed to be a successful leader within his department. Finally, his use of delegation demonstrates his self-confidence in his training of his employees. On the other hand, his tendency to be "set in his ways" is exemplarily of his self-confidence in his way of doing things and personal leadership style.
As it is clear that, according the six traits of...
Shaiban is a leader, the next question is to determine what type of leader Mr. Shaiban is. In order to this, one must turn towards the subject of leadership style.
Since Mr. Shaiban's style of supervising his employees and department relies heavily on delegation of responsibilities and specifically training each individual employee to perform a specific role, Mr. Shaiban's leadership style can be best described as that of the orchestral conductor leader. This type of leadership style is named after the resemblance that the leader has to an orchestra conductor. In other words, the leader is capable of taking a diverse group of talent and to get them to successfully work together to achieve an end result. This is done by balancing each individual's leadership personality by making sure every employee is empowered to take charge of their specific duty.

Indeed, this seems a direct response to the prevailing understanding of how one must ultimately achieve organizational effectiveness by seizing on common ground. As our research denotes, "humans are primordial team players. Our uniquely complex social relationships have been a crucial survival advantage. Our extraordinarily sophisticated talent for cooperation culminated in the modern organization." (Goleman, 199) Indeed, this is the very premise by which the judicial system is allowed
On the other hand, if a business leader is the type who is not willing to get directly involved in a project, they are most likely not going to be a successful business leader. Further, if a business leader is honest and has a high respect from his or her employees and his or her superiors, this strategy of honesty gives them integrity and thus are most likely going to
Unlike Plato, Machiavelli had a much less idealistic view of leadership in mind. or, rather, his view of leadership was not wrapped up in a personal view of ethics and virtue. Plato obviously believed, after all, that the best leader would be the wisest and the most moral. It was these qualities that should be encouraged and these qualities that would make said individual a superior leader. Machiavelli argued implicitly
Leadership Theory in a Changing and Globalizing Marketplace Modern business practice is permeated by the complexities of a changing world. The impact of globalization on the cultural makeup of companies, the effects of the global recession on the conventions of daily business and the evolutionary shifts brought on by emergent technology all call for an orientation toward simultaneous stability and adaptability. Only under the stewardship of a qualified, communicative, flexible and
Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers). Furthermore, anyone that is willing to assist and help others could be referred to as a leader (p.8) Leaders see what others do not Most leaders have
So was this true for Cornwallis, who must bear the dubious association of his side's historical failure to retain the American colonies even as evidence suggests that his best efforts were extended as exemplary traits of leadership. Certainly, as Buchanan reports, "it is also a measure of his leadership that in all the actions in which we have observed him his militia performed like seasoned regulars." (Buchanan, 190) This relationship between leader and organizational members
