attaining effective leadership
One concept that struck out to me while reading this week was the concept of having an effective leadership. Similar to the 3 tests an argument must pass in order for it to be considered a good argument, there are also 3 factors that determine whether or not a leader has the capabilities of being a group leader. Effective leadership is when one’s performance is clearly seen as encouraging and inspiring to those around him/her. It must motivate each member of the group to achieve their highest goals and to help them work together as a team. In order for one to achieve effective leadership, he must finish whatever task is thrown at him and complete everything to his best advantage. He must also prove his trustworthiness and consistency with his group members. Once each member has judged his competence and support him, he would become reliable and on his way to becoming an effective leader. The last factor that leads one to becoming an effective leader is to stir enthusiasm for each member of the group to contribute and participate. It is the leader’s job to make sure his group members are actively participating in their work. One must attain all 3 factors in order for him to be an effective leader.

I also wrote my blog article about this. I found this to be very interesting! I found it to be very true when it stated about being the group leader is like being the cheerleader of the group. Also how the leaders creditability is important in the group in order for people to listen to you. Its important that the leader supervises instead of dictating the productivity of the group. Being leader is an very important task but can be very rewarding at the end. Good job Ash!
ReplyDeleteI think effective leadership is definitely a good concept, and one, which is applicable to almost every situation. I don’t really think I can even think of how having effective leadership would be a negative aspect to any task. And like how you stated, there are definitely qualities that make for an effective leader, and that without all three, you are going to be lacking in some aspect, and therefore not effective. I think the hardest part is just being able to actually find individuals who meet these criteria, as often people will not be able to attain all three qualities for whatever reason. Great explanation.
