Document Summary
Asked to get into our movie groups. Talked about our work experiences: best leaders vs. worst leaders, what made them good/bad, 2-3 points. Worst: arrogant, divisive, unclear, impassionate, close-minded, etc: prof sees clarity, group cohesion, and motivation mostly. What kind of context have you had worst leaders in: summer jobs/temporary jobs are most common; they don"t invest a lot in you because you"re temporary; favouritism relates to the equity theory. Best: leaders that aren"t too dominating all the time: when they"re there because they want to be there. Lots of definition but the one we use is: the influence that particular individuals exert on the goal achievement of others in an organizational context : strategic leadership. Leadership that involves the ability to anticipate, envision, maintain flexibility, think strategically, and work with others to initiate changes that will create a viable future for the organization.
