.....efficacy and standing as the basis of leadership styles. Those three prompts, in the order in which they will be discussed, are communication, task management and the driving of results and integrity and trustworthiness. While these items are collectively quite good in terms of being the basis of leadership styles, they should indeed be part of a wider collection of ideas and should not be left to stand on their own.Communication
On its face, communication is a good thing to focus on and have as part of a leadership brand and system. At the same time, however, too much of any good thing can indeed be a bad thing. Indeed, meetings and reports should not be overly verbose and common. Emails should be done in a focused way and should not end up with people being inundated and blitzed with a ton of words. Going too far with communication can lead to people disengaging from the messages and this, of course, will lead to important things being missed. That would be why it is prudent and mindful to say that communication is important and should absolutely be part of any strong leader's methodology. However, the means, method, medium and message of the communication needs to be carefully crafted so that people get the information they need, the information is important and there is not a lot of extra fluff and substance that is either not necessary or that can wait for another day or time. At the same time, going too thin and lacking with communication is just as problematic, but for different reasons. Indeed, people do need to know what is going on, when it is going on and...
Information being disseminated in a way that is incomplete, untimely or otherwise problematic will obviously lead to the message not reaching the intended and/or nto reaching them in time. The people that are to receive and synthesize that message cannot and should not be held accountable for such a happenstance because it is not up to them to get that message out and drill it home. Thus, leaders need to make sure to strike a balance and ensure that the "need to know" find out what they need to know but without a lot of wasted motion and information (Prolifics, 2016).
Task Management & Driving Results
Just as with communication, there is little argument (in general) against the idea of harnessing proper task management and the driving of desired results. However, there are indeed a few ways and methods that leaders use that are less than productive or realistic when it comes to all of that. First of all, there is the concept of "rose-colored glasses." Management or ownership may want or desire certain results, but they have to understand the realities as they truly exist rather than demanding or assuming that things will be done a certain way. For example, if a staffing situation is too lean and it is precluding the working people from getting their job done, that is a problem that leadership needs to be aware of and fix. It could very well be that the workers are not applying themselves properly and/or they are not organized in terms of their work. If that is a problem, it should be identified and fixed. However,…
However this philosophy has been proved to be wrong. Besides a few traits like intuition and sensing, all the leadership traits involve our conscious decisions and behaviors. A person can adopt any leadership and decision making style to be effective and productive based on the work environment and the people he is working with. Here are some recommendations for the self-improvement with respect to leadership and decision making: The leader
By integrating aspects of transformational leadership into his leadership, Alonso would have inspired his crew to follow him while also becoming leaders by themselves. However, this could have only been made possible if his thoughts, feelings, and actions were consistent. As a leader of change Alfonso should have shown some element of connection to himself, the world, and the people around him and be grounded in reality. He ought
Leadership Styles In many ways the United States offer the ideal case study for examining different leadership styles, because its particular process of election and governance presents opportunities for each leadership style to flourish. In short, while the election itself favors a charismatic leadership style, the success of the executive branch depends on a transformational leadership style, and the interactions between the executive and the legislature can only be characterized as
This boss was lazy. Simply put, where Uncle Gail was prepared not only to do his job but to make sure everybody else was doing theirs as well, this boss at Hardee's was unwilling to even do his own job, much less help anybody else. The entire crew hated him for that. Many newcomers were there for their first-ever job, and some were new to the country. Most of us
It is the balancing of tools within the rubric of employee-supervisor roles that requires one use different managerial techniques in order to solve the problem at hand. Similarly, find ways to build and increase trust between members of the group and management and group. REFERENCES Blake, R. And Mouton, J. (1985).

Leadership and Motivation Leadership Traits, Skills, and Motivation Over decades, business leaders, organizational researchers, and scholars have been endeavoring to come up with a perfect definition of leadership through personal experiences, findings, as well as the modern real-world situations and models. Therefore, they have come up with leadership theories, which stems from the multifunctional nature of leadership. These theories further drill deep into leadership traits, behaviors and skills, which may openly demonstrate
