It is not the strongest leaders that survive, not the most intelligent; instead it is the one that are most responsive to change- Charles Darwin. Before anything else I would like to introduce myself by the way, I am Sheila Mae C. Aldover a student of Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management. This lesson contains the explanation and discussion about the Leadership and Change.
This lesson will best and help us to become more professional and have knowledge to understand why there is a leadership and need to change. This module defined the leadership as the ability to inspire people to make a total willing and voluntary commitment to accomplishing or exceeding organizational goals. It is better explain also here what is a Leader and a Boss and what is called a good leader, and I’ve learned that in order for you to become a leader you have to to follow first and then lead. The key elements of leadership for quality are also discuss here and that’s include; Customer focus, Obsession with quality, Recognizing the structure of work, Freedom through control, Unity of purpose, Looking for faults in systems, Teamwork, Continuing education and training, and Emphasis on best practices, and Peak performance.
The Motivation, Leadership, and Inspiration will also tackle and the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Leadership style in a total quality setting and the participative leadership style, The leadership characteristics that build and maintain followership from the sense or purpose, self discipline, honesty, credibility, common sense, stamina, commitment and the steadfastness. Ofcourse leadership wouldn’t be effective if there is no called Ethics, because it shows high ethical content in making decisions. I’ve learned that an ethical leaders have to take the long view and knowing that an unethical leader is no leader or He or she is a misleader.
Employees and Managers on change, this is how managers listen to employees can learn a valuable lesson. This will how the employee involvement lead to change, This lesson will really help me to know how does change become more important and how to lead change. In every business or organization as a manager you have to do your best or effort to get and lead for change in your employees. Getting lesson from the past and from distinguished leaders.
Servant leadership and stewardship defined: According to Sean Aland, a servant leader set an example of putting their employees, customers, organization, and community ahead of their own personal needs.
In any organization negative influence on leaders wouldn’t be refuse but, this lesson will help us on how to counter them. First, Leaders must be careful and think crucial about the advice they receive from others. Ofcourse to avoid any bad advice and bad decision, because admit it or not sometimes we forgot on how to be careful listeners and we got easily fool by words. Second, Leaders fall prey to the negative influence of followers when they make such mistakes as letting the majority rule, being fooled by flattery, and relying too heavily an ” Knowledgeable” advisors. This second way on how to counter negative influences teaches us to be more vigilant and responsible listener and leader.
Being a leader also called as a Mentor, because you teaches the next generation of leaders. It is about the extension of stewardship that make a big help on you as a leader and provide a lot of benefits to the individual as well on the organization.
Leadership and Change is very important and it’s up to us on how we’re going to apply it effectively as we go through. Because I do believe that leadership and change are always on the people who have dedication and know the important of it and being responsible for every action they made.
