Personal Leadership Philosophies

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Many of us can think of leaders we have come to admire, be they historical figures, pillars of the industry we work in, or leaders we know personally. The leadership of individuals such as Abraham Lincoln and Margaret Thatcher has been studied and discussed repeatedly. However, you may have interacted with leaders you feel demonstrated equally competent leadership without ever having a book written about their approaches.

What makes great leaders great? Every leader is different, of course, but one area of commonality is the leadership philosophy that great leaders develop and practice. A leadership philosophy is basically an attitude held by leaders that acts as a guiding principle for their behavior. While formal theories on leadership continue to evolve over time, great leaders seem to adhere to an overarching philosophy that steers their actions.

What is your leadership philosophy? In this Assignment, you will explore what guides your own leadership.

To Prepare:

  • Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.
  • Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.
  • Reflect on your results of the CliftonStrengths Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.

The Assignment (2-3 pages):

Personal Leadership Philosophies

Develop and submit a personal leadership philosophy that reflects what you think are characteristics of a good leader. Use the scholarly resources on leadership you selected to support your philosophy statement. Your personal leadership philosophy should include the following:

  • A description of your core values
  • A personal mission/vision statement
  • An analysis of your Clifton Strengths Assessment summarizing the results of your profile
  • A description of two key behaviors that you wish to strengthen
  • A development plan that explains how you plan to improve upon the two key behaviors you selected and an explanation of how you plan to achieve your personal vision. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Be sure to incorporate your colleagues’ feedback on your Clifton Strengths Assessment from this Module’s Discussion 2.

Research organization

In today’s fast-paced and global community, most organizations are faced with constant change. Research contemporary organizations that are currently responding to a significant change within the industry, such as disruptive technology; state, government, or industry regulations; environmental constraints; judicial or legislative rulings; etc.

Choose one organization from your research that has recently responded to major change, or is currently responding to change. Write a paper (1,500 words) discussing how well the organization is responding to the change dynamics. Include the following:

  1. Describe the organization and the change to which it is responding.
  2. Discuss the degree to which the change has been disruptive and how the organization has responded to the dynamics created by this change.
  3. Evaluate the strategies the organization used in its change plan and determine the level of success the organization experienced with the strategies.
  4. Determine the effect the change had on stakeholders, and to what degree stakeholders have resisted. Assess how well stakeholder resistance was addressed.
  5. Evaluate the overall implications the change had on interdepartmental collaboration.
  6. In your opinion, how well did the leaders of the organization respond and prepare for the change? What worked and what did not work with the strategies they implemented?
  7. What modifications would you suggest the leaders of the organization make in order to better address the change dynamics? What additional strategies would you recommend to assist the organization through this change?

Prepare this assignment in APA format using 5 APA citation reference, within 5years with nursing content.

Topic 7 DQ 2

Topic 7 DQ 2

1. Have legislative remedies, like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, produced results to mitigate negative externalities? At what cost? Have the benefits of the legislation outweighed the costs to industry? Identify and describe two additional measures that state and/or city governments are undertaking to reduce contributions to climate change by addressing degradation of air, land, and water (e.g., efforts in California, City of Phoenix).

2. As we examine our second discussion question, I wanted to offer a couple questions to help spur the conversation. Explain how expansionary monetary policy leads to inflation whereas monetary policy in the short and long run can influence real output.

3. As we examine our second discussion question, I wanted to offer a couple questions to help spur the conversation. Discuss how price stability is a foundation for stable economic policy. Should the government always intervene to correct price instability? Why?

Estes and Palmisano (1974), Estes et al. (1998) – Questions for Discussion

  1. Define a “keystone species”. (1pt)
  2. Explain how the orca-otter-urchin-kelp food web presented in these studies is an example of top-down control. (1pt)
  3. Define “anthropogenic”. What anthropogenic effect is most responsible for the situation with the sea otters? (1pt)
  4. Find and describe another example of a keystone predator creating top-down controls in an ecosystem. Include the predator species, the ecosystem, and how the ecosystem would be different in the absence of the predator species. (2pt)
  5. Estes and Palmisano 1974, Figure 1: What is this graph comparing? Why is there no line shown for vegetation at Shemya Island (hint: what does “coincident with the ordinate” mean)? (2pt)
  6. Estes and Palmisano 1974, Figure 2: Based on this graph, describe the difference in sea urchin size demographics between the two islands. Why are these differences important? (2pt)
  7. Why are kelp forests ecologically important? What ecosystem services do they provide to other species living in the region? What benefits can they provide to human societies? (3pt)
  8. Keystone species are often the focus of conservation efforts. Describe at least one benefit of this approach to conservation, as well as one potential risk or limitation to this approach. (3pt)
  9. Describe a potential strategy for bringing these kelp forest ecosystems back into balance. What might be a limitation or difficulty with implementing this strategy? (3pt)

Case Study for Southwest Airlines

Case Study for Southwest Airlines

You will begin a four step guided case study for Southwest Airlines. You will need to complete and submit steps 1 and 2 for this order and I will continue place another order for setps 3 and 4 if you done well.

Step 1

Using the case information only, assess Southwest’s industry environment according to Porter’s Five forces. State whether the pressures are high or low for each forces and provide one paragraph on each explaining why. PS: The following video provides an explanation of Porter’s five forces with additional examples sprinkled throughout. Watch this video in conjunction with “SWOT Analysis 1”.

Conclude if the industry is attractive or unattractive and provide justification based on the five forces.

Use section 1 of the “SWOT analysis template” to guide your analysis.

Step 2

Conduct an internal analysis of Southwest Airlines by identifying all the resources you can. Use these resources to form capabilities.

Include insights you have gained from your prior value chain analysis of Southwest Airlines. Place areas of the value chain under resources or capabilities as you deem suitable.

Use section 2 of the “SWOT analysis template” to guide your analysis. Identify and rank order capabilities the firm possesses that can aid competitiveness. The most competitive capability is ranked #1.

There are no word limit guidelines for the Southwest Airlines case assignment part 1 or part 2. However, the goal is to be meaningful and provide evidence you comprehend the case and formulate strategy. Use the template provide and fill in the areas left for the case information. Please don’t just put some simple thoughts, I really need it to be a deep analysis.

Do not use any information that is not provided with the case. Remember we are only using the Southwest case from the coursepack.

Bullet points are preferred. Add a short explanation for any point you include if you feel it to be necessary.
