Leadership
Exercise 3-3
This week, maybe not my most charismatic week to be honest. There are definitely times when I can turn on the charm and be very charismatic, but this week I don't think I've excelled in this regard. I think that I should pay attention to opportunities to be charismatic because this is a skill that can be developed. Since I know that I have it in me to be this way, I figure that I should probably cultivate this skill a little more, because that will help me to be a better leader.
I think back to a recent trip I took. I was able to get a free seat upgrade just by asking, and when I met people I was able to impress them right away, gain their confidence and talk business effectively. I got a lot out of that trip in that regard, just be being at the top of my charismatic game. The trick for me is to always be able to tap into that when I need to, make it just a natural part of my everyday.
Exercise 4-6.
As mentioned above, this week's been a bit slow for me, mostly just working on my own. So there haven't been a lot of opportunities for leadership in that regard. I can say that sometimes you have to take leadership with customers and that is something I've done this week. Customers sometimes require guidance the same as co-workers do. They need to know what you are capable of, what you are not going to be able to do for them, and how deadlines are going to work. In general, if a project is not going as smoothly as possible, you have to direct people to fix that, something I've done well in the past. This involves not only calling on co-workers to help but getting clarity from customers about key issues, and effectively managing their expectations as well.

Quiz 7-2 Quiz 7-2 This score indicates a "below average tendency to play office politics," a statement with which I agree wholeheartedly. Office politics detracts from maximum efficiency and effectiveness. I detracts from making the best decisions possible. Organizations full of people playing politics are not only negative places in which
Leadership Exercise 5-3. The first leadership scenario is when a co-worker was calling in sick constantly, and it was clear from their attitude that they were not engaged. In this case, the supervisor did nothing, and it ended up affecting the morale of the group. As leader, I would have begun to build a case with this employee for termination, documenting the absences and the fact that they were clearly bogus. The
Leadership Quiz 1-1 An 82 indicates moderate readiness for a leadership role. This is a good score, albeit a love of haggling is perhaps a strange measure. With the other 1s that I scored, those are fair in that they are things people in leadership positions should be able to deal with -- areas where I can improve my leadership skills. With Quiz 1-2, a lot of those apply to me. I have
Leadership Portfolio Political tactics are essential for quality leadership. It is important to be tactful in all situations, and to understand the confounding variables that can impact communication clarity. Politics refers to skillful communications and strategic decision-making. Compromises are critical to good politics. For example, we were working with a large team of over 25 people. Each person had a clearly defined role, but there came a time when egos started
Leadership Theories and Approaches Leadership According to Kurt Lewin, all leaders fall into three basic categories: autocratic, participative, and democratic. I would describe my current supervisor as basically autocratic in her demeanor, although in a moderately benevolent way. I work as a respiratory therapist in a hospital. My supervisor must ensure that patients are seen in a timely fashion, and that all medical personnel comply with basic safety regulations. She oversees scheduling
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
