Implication and conclusion week 7 Essay

What are the most important concepts you have learned this week? I have learned that leadership is essentially the same among countries. The leadership styles of minorities, men and woman remain consistent. What would you recommend to your management/leadership based on these concepts? Last week, I learned that one must be a leader and a manager in order to be effective. A manager must have strong leadership skills in order to motivate his or her group. Likewise, a leader needs to have a rapport with employees, but needs to focus on accomplishing the company’s goals. How will these concepts impact you personally and professionally? In order for leaders to be successful, they need to have good communication skills and they must be able to demonstrate responsibility. A good leader takes the time to make a plan, be consistent in carrying it out, and can motivate his or her employees to follow it. My study of the readings has taught me that my own life experiences have helped me to develop strategies that I use at work to be a strong, effective, charismatic leader. What is the value-added from these concepts, or what differences can these concepts make to your organization? As in previous weeks, the value-added from these concepts are to reduce misunderstandings, mistakes, and miscomputation while increasing respect, good communication, and the motivation of every person. One must understand one’s own leadership characteristics in order to determine whether or not an individual is a natural leader. Describe important references used this week.
