Personal take away & Leadership
Style, Organizational Culture and Ethics of Barra and Iger
To
measure the progress of the leadership is too tough because leadership can be
measured by the various qualities and it can be measured by the suggestion of
the other individuals. But there is no numeric standard for measuring the
progress of the leadership but the results of the activity or project are the
best and effective to measure the progress of the leadership. I want to select as a leader of the committee
that’s why the progress has decided about my potentials for the leadership. In the
future, I will try to ignore all the mistakes which occur at the time of
decision making for the various activities of the committee. I will follow the rules and regulations which
are assigned from the organization (Zetlin).
My personal leadership philosophy is
always focusing on several thoughts of leadership and follows the various
definition of leadership. As it is described by the Warren Benin’s “Leadership is the
capacity to translate vision into reality” and
definition of Ralph Nadar` is the one best definition according to my
leadership philosophy because I always focus to producing more leaders rather
than the followers and the definition Ralph Nadar is also addressing about this
as “The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more
followers” democratic leadership
theories always influencing on my thinking and personality because, I always
believe on the democratic decision and Marry Barra is one of my favorite leaders
and she always follows the democratic leadership theory and I also like this by
taking his decision it the account of my inspiration (Gray).
Sometime to taking help, I discuss
my problems with my higher authority even my teacher because discussion is
always considered as an excellent strategy for the thing which is used for
enhancing the motivation of the students and it is also used to fostering the
intellectual agility and the major purpose of the discussion is encouraging the
democratic habits. The way of the leadership of the students creates a vast
opportunity for the student to practice the sharpen numbers of skills and it
also includes the ability to defend the position and articulation.
There is a lot of the leadership
lesson which I have learned from the leadership styles of the Barra and Iger
but three of them can be described as the facts that will set you free, Encouraging the employees to enhance their
performance level and celebrating the transparency. In the first lesson, the leaders can add
value by producing tangible results and leaders always relies on the output of
the task. If they have got good output and tangible results it doesn’t matter
how they have performed his task. This lesson of leadership skills leads to the
charismatic leadership theory.
Meanwhile, the other two lessons are leading toward the democratic leadership
theory and I have enjoyed al lot these all lesson and these are considered by
me effective ways of guiding someone (Goldsmith).
