Anyone with time and attention can show leadership skills. You have to look within yourself and find your strengths. To become a good leader you have to know what it means to be a TEAM PLAYER first. Controlling your emotions and learning to listen and be understanding are key. A great leader knows his/her employes and their strengths and weaknesses and puts the right employees in motion to carry out tasks. 

Whether you are delegating a task or seeking input as an Authoratarian you should always be assertive. Know your employees this way when task arise you can count on and call on your employees to come together as a unified team to complete what needs to be done. Determining the task at hand can make you choose the best road taken. 

The idea of structuring committee meetings in higher education using the team leadership ideas presented in the ML112 course is intriguing.  The worksheets will be useful in setting up the outline for the committee meetings.  Has anyone tried to implement a leadership model for committees for projects such as curriculum revision?  How successful is the implementation when other committee members do not a knowledge of leadership models?

It is important to be empathetic but not to become too close to employees one supervises.

Remember to compliment the work of employees and how they move the organization forward.

While working with a class that had mixed generations of students (Gen Z, Gen Y, Gen X, and a few Boomers) we decided to mix up the end of unit assessments. One week - we all took the quiz together - a standard 20 point multiple choice quiz - and as we discussed the correct answers and the incorrect multiple-choice options - it was amazing to see interest escalate and topics were pounded out for deeper meaning. There was also an increase in student enjoyment and interest because getting a 100 on the quiz was affirming and rewarding.

It is so interesting to read from an academic perspective the differences between management (itself) and leadership. The crossover is actually more minute than one would think. Good work.

I don't mind reflecting, but it is also esssential that for such a course, practice and application that we discourse with other leaders as well as get the ideas of our direct reports.

I plan to try to slow and read more carefully. The answer looks terrible and that… >>>

I know that I'm preaching to the choir; however, please do not go into a work situation as a leader and immediately impose all of your old "new" ideas on the company and your direct reports. They are already there. Many things may already work. Take a pause; reflect; take a moment (60-90 days) to really see. That doesn't mean that you should not lead, or in some cases, manage, but at least ask meaningful and reflective question in your pursuit to be their leader. Please be… >>>

I occasionally work with someone who in his mind always has the right answer and his idea of collaboration and problem solving is for everyone to agree with him.  When someone else tries to make a point he will cut them off and/or speak over them. He does come up with some good ideas every now and then but he kills the enthusiasm and ideas of others. When you talk to him he does not listen because he thinks he is always right so then why should he listen to someone else's flawed idea.  Most people just tune him out and let… >>>
