What do you enjoy most about being in a leadership position?
Reed enjoys the ability to have an impact on people, facilities and patients. In his role he has the ability to see the big picture and make a change in the healthcare industry. His position enables him the freedom to identify opportunities, to deal with problems and to improve things that impact people and processes that improve lives.
What do you enjoy least about being in a leadership position?
The thing that Reed enjoys the least about his leadership position is the lack of time to handle all the issues that come his way that he needs to address. He directly manages 25 people, with a total of 500 indirectly. Each person could have an issue that is the highest priority to them, that needs to be handled immediately and it is impossible for him to handle them all at once. He has to prioritize each issue and then identify time constraints. He often has more requests than he can do in

The one trait that Reed has seen derail leaders is egotism. This is when individuals think they have the only and the right answer all the time. When leaders are like this they don’t get the benefit of the ideas from a diverse team. This means that they are no longer leading the team they are pushing the team or going in a different direction than the team.
Lessons Learned: I found it interesting that the concepts that we have learned about are actually what leaders are faced with or actually believe. Reed Martin talked about communicating with different types of people and how it is important to tailor your communication style to the individual you are speaking with. I have found it frustrating and difficult to communicate with our Clinical Director and sometimes the physicians. Since, my interview with Reed, I have made an effort to think about our Clinical Director’s communication style and provide the big picture and not all the

For any leadership to be perceived as astute and phenomenal, there has to be a leader who defines the goal/message and followers who bring the dream to fruition. The goal must be well defined for the followers to understand. Leadership can be both an innate character or learned character. Some people are more predisposed to the leadership gene and seem to fit into the leadership role more comfortably than others. Leadership seems to manifest naturally, hence the innate predisposition.
I think the one area that leaders struggle with most is with their EGO. It seems that they let their ego get in the way of their success as they only think about what they want without considering what it could do for others. Is leading by Ego the best way? Yes, we want to be successful, but at what cost? I believe full heartly that ego can lead to success in the short-term but like the leaders of fallen giants like Enron & Arthur Anderson will tell you, it can catch up to you. We can only fill our ego for so long before it needs more. One of the questions one has to ask himself/herself to keep their ego in check is, “Am I here to be served or to serve?” Blanchard and Hodges assert that self-serving
In the broadest sense, whenever you are working with someone acting in a coaching or mentoring capacity in an ongoing relationship to; raise your awareness, grow as a human being, develop your leadership skills and effectiveness, work through some of the common challenges managers and leaders face, close gaps between where you are now and where you want to be, translate goals into specific actions, change behavior, increase the impact you are having, and generally get better results - you could be considered to be engaged in some form of leadership coaching.
A leader I admire, whether real-life or fictional character from the television, the movies or a book, will be identified. Leadership theories will be used to evaluate my selected leader to determine what characteristics and leadership abilities helped this leader become successful. I will also include an evaluation of my own leadership style and identify what my individual leadership characteristics are. The plan will be developed to improve my leadership style based upon the findings of my chosen leader’s leadership style compared to my own.
Every leader has their own idea of what effectiveness looks like (Jones, 2015). 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,
Initially, the people of Rome did not want Cleopatra as a queen after Julius Caesar died. Cleopatra wanted to take over Rome after Caesar died, but the people would not let her do that and forced her to flee. The Romans did not want a queen in power, especially Cleopatra. Cleopatra was a ruler alongside her twin brother in Egypt, when Caesar came over from Rome to answer a dying wish of her father to look after the two and make sure everything is going well. Caesar brought Cleopatra back to Rome as his second wife, had a kid with her and then he was killed by the council. After Caesar was killed Cleopatra fled the city of Rome with Caesar's best man, Mark Antony, and had a war against Rome. The idea of this research essay is to explain how Cleopatra was affected by
“Leadership is more ability than job. Moreover, it is all about determination, ability to solve problems, set direction for followers, gather them for common purpose and motivating people to achieve tasks. Furthermore, it is a charisma and the ability to reacting at the right time for a particular competitive situation” (L.Mullins, 2010, P372).
In Sauer’s article I learned that there are different leadership styles, and the style that will work best for me will depends on my objectives and status as a leader. My understanding is that based on my education and accomplishments as a leader, it will allow me to have a place of power where my particular leadership style can be demonstrated. Once I can play to my strength, then effectiveness can be maximize.

In my four years of highschool I have developed many characteristics that allow me to be a strong leader. I have found that being a leader is something that comes natural to me. I have found my self leading in many different situations. I have been a varsity baseball and football captain for two years. I have had to lead a team, and communicate with teammates and coaches. I know how to collaborate with others to perform well in competition. I take pride in being chosen to be the leader of my teams, I enjoy being a reliable and responsible person for others to count on. Leadership is a great quality no matter who the person.

Boys also had an increase in math and reading performance by approximately 1 percentile point.
Leadership is not something I was born with, but my love of people has allowed me to become the leader that I am today. Moreover, my experiences here in North Forsyth High School provided a great foundation for the skills I will need to become a leader in any other setting as well. I have taken every opportunity presented to me to expand my interests and done so both through the classroom and in the community. For example, I love learning languages and speak 5 of them so when I got the chance to tutor a girl in Spanish, it brought me no greater joy than to help her and show her the new world language opens up. If my peers were asked to describe how I am in the classroom the most common thing they would say is that I don’t hesitate to ask questions.
