Obviously, everyone wants to be seen as an innovative, risk-taker, but having a vision is necessary to decide what risks are worth taking. Although it is unstated, your subject, Stephen Czarowski, the music and choir director at your church, St., John the Baptist in Silver Spring must have a (realistic but challenging) vision of how the music people are playing should sound, which he urges people to realize. Although he may solicit input, ultimately as the director he has the final decision-making authority to achieve the composer's intent.
A wonder too about the importance of technical competence -- a coach must know the sport, but the best athletes are not necessarily the best coaches, nor are the best computer programmers the best leaders of technologically-based companies. Stephen Czarowski might be an excellent musician on some instruments, but he does not know how to play all instruments equally well, rather his….

It is amazing how volumes of literature exist on the several aspects of leadership theories and models. In any case, it appears that leadership has for a long time been an interesting subject in entirely all sectors of humanity. Indeed, leadership defines a great proportion of the human race and it therefore warrants the much analysis and concerns always allocated to the subject. While many people will totally argue against any defined theory or model that describes leadership, it is imperative to realise that in a way successful leaders across the world have particular aspects in common.

A casual gaze across the world reveals very astonishing revelations regarding the human leadership potential and on whether anybody can become a leader. On whether leaders are made or born, much research has been done but interestingly it appears….

When an organization and individual can synchronize their goals and expectations, there is a greater level of trust developed. All of these factors taken together also fuel a very high level of energy on the part of an organization; trust is an accelerator that puts this model into motion. When this equilibrium-based model is used iteratively, the connections or juncture points will become more streamlined as trust acts as an accelerator and integrator of more efficient task and process management. The net result of this leadership model is greater goal attainment at faster speeds with both the employee and organization in sync with each other on the direction and value of the goals and objectives. The loose coupling also makes this model ideal for highly turbulent and difficult economic markets as well. In short, this type of hybrid model that is powered by trust shows potential to be responsive….

By necessity, servant leadership lends itself best to project-specific or result-oriented enterprises and industries, because the primary tool of servant leaders is their own productivity and operational efficiency (Spears, 2002).
While extremely passive in practice, servant leadership may be more successful to maintain over the long-term, primarily because it leads through example and inspiration.

Many industrial psychologists associate servant leadership with higher degrees of genuine satisfaction among workers, because (where it is successful) it represents a Naturally evolved enterprise loyalty based on proven results. Naturally, therefore, servant leadership may work best where (1) the servant leader demonstrates, by his own success, operational techniques and procedures that are repeatable by others, and (2) personal achievement is connected to some tangible reward or benefit to the individual.

For the same reason, servant leadership is better suited to industries and enterprises characterized by low turnover and high long-term retention. Unlike transformational and charismatic leadership styles,….

Specifically, situational leadership allows managers to be autocratic when the situation requires it, while it also supports them in being democratic, when the situation requires it. This materializes in high levels of effectiveness. Erven argues: "An alternative to being an autocratic or democratic leader is to be a situational leader. Situational leaders are able to adapt their leadership style to fit their followers and situations in which they are working. […] Managers using situational leadership will make conscious choices between their use of directive behavior and supportive behavior. In directive behavior, they are relying on providing structure, control and close supervision for the people with whom they are working. In supportive behavior, they are relying on praise, two-way communication, and facilitating the work of their employees and co-workers."

Probability
In statistics, probability is the chance of prediction and tells how likely the event will happen. This is determined by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes.

P=number of favorable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes

Bivariate data: When analyzing bivariate data, there are two approaches, you compare summarized statistics of the available variable quantities one by one, or you use regression analysis in order to determine the direct relationship between the data.

Bivariate analysis involves exactly two measurements being made on each observation, say X and Y. one instance is when the weight X and height Y of a population is taken into the observation sheet. In bivariate data, the X and Y observations are paired, unlike the two sample data set where the two observations (X & Y ) are not necessarily paired.

Bivariate simple random sample can be as follows (X1,Y1), (X2,Y2),,,,,

Such data can be….

Susan G. Komen for the cure (foundation)
What is the organizational culture and why is this culture important to the organization?

It is said that "culture is made up of the values, beliefs, underlying assumptions, attitudes, and behaviors shared by a group of people" (Heathfield 2013). This is true of an organizational culture as well as a national culture The Susan G. Komen foundation is a nonprofit organization. Nonprofits have traditionally had less competitive and more collegial organizational cultures than for-profit entities, in part because it is required that members of the organization work well together to achieve a common goal, versus compete with one another as in a sales-driven organization. Nonprofits are often said to have an 'academy' culture, much like a university. "Employees are highly skilled and tend to stay in the organization, while working their way up the ranks. The organization provides a stable environment in which employees can….

Leadership Power Struggles
Leadership is an incredibly complex concept that has been the focus of study from many different academic disciplines -- Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Social Psychology, Business, Sociology to name a few. The literature comes in a wide variety of many differing opinions both from within the academic world as from professional practitioners. Most of the literature seems to focus on effective or ineffective leadership and the role that the organizational culture and environment play in the leaders ability to meet particular organizational objectives. However, there seems to be little literature that is directed at the consequences of power struggles between aspiring leaders in an organization and the consequences this might have for the organizational and its effectiveness. This proposal will attempt to craft a niche in this realm.

Global Leadership Roadmap
The global economy is a rapidly shifting frontier. ith the continued inclusion of developing nations in the world trade community, the ever-evolving capacity of our communication technologies and a collective thrust toward the deconstruction of regulatory trade limitations, globalization has accelerated tremendously across the last two decades. Those companies which fail to adapt to the changes brought about by globalization will have little chance of surviving. This is the impetus that drives the discussion here. As a company explores opportunities and expands its reach to connect with an international marketplace, it must develop the leadership to ensure its success. It is with this in mind that we proceed with a roadmap for the internal development of effective Global Leaders. The details outlined here below offer an actionable plan for preparing leaders who understand the challenges and the opportunities inherent in cross-cultural management. Our company's fortunes are staked on….

The administrative support staff who is dealing with frustrated doctors who cannot adjust to the new computer tablets they are using as an alternative to paper files may require a transactional leader who can provide the organizational support needed to move through an uncomfortable transition. A single leader cannot always be everything to everyone. By learning one's leadership strengths and weaknesses and understanding the leadership skills needed to achieve the organizational objectives, the leader can begin to develop and foster his or her leadership team with people who offer complimentary skills and leadership styles.

Leadership Research

Leadership in public and private sector businesses is important for the growth of these businesses. Of late, many researchers have thoroughly investigated the role leadership in promoting businesses. Researchers have also tried to explore the common characteristics of global business leaders that have led their businesses to successful heights. Different models of effective leadership in corporations have also been drafted. One major aspect of leaders being explored in their ability to inspire people surrounding them and use this inspiration to achieve results that could be achieved without having complete trust of followers. While followers might be hard to make for a leader, and yet harder to retain, few researchers have put forth consolidated models of inspirational leaders that effectively make and retain followers. Two such models that will be….

By the same token, by not having any specific policy implications, servant leadership theory does not expressly reject the transformational, situational or results-focused ideas of leadership. It is merely an adjunct to these theories, and is mostly useful for deciding on whether or not somebody should become a leader in the first place.
Situational Leadership and Results-Focused Leadership

These two leadership theories are opposed to one another, but they share the same philosophical underpinnings. The underlying theory of each of these leadership styles is that the leadership style is flexible, and the best leaders have the ability to utilize different styles and techniques depending on the needs of the day. here the two differ is in the understanding of the most important determinant of leadership style. Situational leadership theory argues that leaders need to adapt to the different circumstances, changing their style to suit the challenges with which they are faced.….

Like the passages model, the leadership as a point of view model focuses on
developing one extraordinary leader its end result. The process of
achieving that end result is similar to the servant leadership process, in
that it requires the leader to focus not on levels or situations, but
instead on a formula for success, namely "seeing what needs to be done,
understanding all the underlying forces play in a situation, [and] having
the courage to initiate action to make things better" (Clawson, 2006,
chapt. 1). Still, the model's process contains facets similar to the
situational model by asking leaders to look at underlying forces, as well
as facets similar to passages model by suggesting that leadership is a
function of a person's own qualities, which must be developed over time.
By focusing on the leadership as point of view model, organizations can
solve problems relating to the confusion of leaders as those with titles
and those without, giving real leadership responsibilities to….

In Bill George’s model of authentic leadership, he develops five factors that he believes define authentic leadership.  Those factors include: purpose, values, relationships, self-discipline, and heart.  Peter Northouse investigate’s George’s leadership model, along with several other models of leadership in his book on the topic.  In the book, he gives an abbreviated version of George’s model.  However, George has his own book that gives a longer and more detailed explanation of his model, how he developed it, and what the five factors mean.  It also goes into further detail about George’s idea of....
