Fiḍál (Grace), 16 Qudrat (Power) 176 B.E. - Tuesday, November 19, 2019
PROMPT: November 19th - What characteristics do you admire in a leader? Is there or was there a time in your life when you took on a leadership role? Research different leadership styles and describe which style you would most like to follow. Which style are you? When you are in a leadership position, do you exemplify the qualities you admire in a good leader? I'm neither a leader nor a follower, I'm a member of the team. As for my leadership sty, I remember encountering this theory in one of my college courses. I think there were probably three or four leadership styles, but I don't remember what they were. If we did a group project the class was divided into teams of two, three, or four--depending on the size of the class--and each one had part of the research and write part of the paper. Next we had to proof read each others work before merging the written work into a project report that was handed to the instructor. At least, that's how I remember it. I neither know nor care what my leadership style is. If I'm put in charge of a team, I will reluctantly accept the position and find out about the talents and experience of the rest of the team before attempting to come to a consensus on how to share the workload and divide the project. I firmly believe that each member of the team should have a chance to use and develop their talents, as much as possible. A team has to work in unity, otherwise the project will fail. The success or failure of a team project is the responsibility or fault of the entire team and not just one person. |
