An emerging leader is more likely to be an “I” leader as opposed to a more established leader who embodies the qualities of a “We” leader. One of the reasons an emerging leader is prone to be an “I” leader is due in part to society’s focus on personal accomplishments and contributions throughout a person’s early life; programmed by society to relish in their own personal accomplishments. On the other hand, a “We” leader has come to the consensus, through experience and self-actualization, that serving others propels you to becoming an authentic leader. Authentic leaders are servant leaders who shares power, puts the needs of others first, and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible pg. 181.

Leadership is the elaboration of group inspiration. One person entrusted as leader can implore the aid, and support of supporters in the accomplishment of a common mission. According to Gurdjian, Halbeisen, and Lane “Becoming a more effective leader often requires changing behavior.

I believe my former manager was authentic in his effort to be a company man. He was for the organization and concerned mostly about building morale during a time that the Cuyahoga County was freezing pay raises and promotions. Morale was at a low point and as a result job performances suffered. Employees began to be okay with doing the minimum or what was required and nothing more. Our department meetings were bombarded with the “be glad you got a job theme,” and that got old very quickly. My manager tried to infuse in our meetings some humor and come up with ways to keep us engaged and interested, but in my opinion failed on all accounts to build morale. As a matter of fact, most people spent more time looking for jobs and writing

For this study, authentic leadership will be the focus, as defined by Avolio, Gardner and Walumbwa (2004) an individual acting according to their values and convictions, building credibility and the respect and trust of those that follow. Authenticity is a choice that individuals must choose to embrace instead of a character trait that comes from within (Murphy, 2012). Outcomes of authentic leadership remain limitedly researched both theoretically and empirically (Miniotaite & Buciuniene, 2013). Authentic leadership lacks empirical evidence between the leader’s perception and the follower’s perception (Peus, Wesche, Streicher, Braun, & Frey, 2012). Wang, Sui, Luthans,
According to Ruggero (2005), “Successful Leaders know their Personal Leadership Philosophy (PLP) and communicate it by living it passionately every day in all they say and do. They have taken the time to determine who they are, their values and priorities. They know their course and have set their internal compass, which gives them greater self-knowledge, greater self-confidence, and improved effectiveness as a leader. This is accomplished by writing a Personal Leadership Philosophy, which states the core values you live by, what you expect of your people, what they can expect of you, and how you will evaluate performance. ” (page 7) Philosophy is defined as a theory or attitude held by a person or organization that acts as a guiding principle for behavior. This can be broken down into multiple components. A theory

Their research reviews how secure attachment is positively related to each of the four components of authentic leadership; self-awareness, relationship transparency, balanced processing and internalized moral perspective (Hinojosa, Davis McCauley, Randolph-Seng, & Gardner, 2014).
My personal philosophy and style of leadership is removing self-desires; as well as, one knowing how to lead. Biblically, the Romans 12:3 records, “For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.” Leader should show forth a good character of leadership. The Apostle Peter write in 1 Peter 3:16, “and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.” In other words, if the conscience is unclean, due to sin, as a leader, the author will be unproductive and unable to witness to others.

However, when you do finally get comfortable tot talk you are going to want a good listener there to support you. I like to think that even the smallest problems or stories I am always listening. With a good listener, you are always going to need a person who is good at giving advice. I know that if I am selected to be a retreat leader I will try my hardest to give good advice. With
Leadership is a process of influencing activities of a particular group of people with the aim of attaining certain stipulated goals. In defining leadership there is need to consider a particular group, the common goals and the duties that are allocated to specific members of the group depending on their abilities (Fiedler 1976).
