Hello,

As a leader it is important to always use empathy and listen very carefully to all of your staff. Remember we need to act professional at all times in order to show the staff the level of how we want our team to run. Make sure we use our daily core values of respect and trust in order to build dependability and a stronger team. Lastly, it isn't easy to lead but what I noticed is just like in the training, leadership can be developed, and practiced for success some day for all staff members. 

We all somehow have a specific goal in life. From young age we dream of something or we have a wish, we want to be or to have. Discipline, the entourage, the environment, that strong desire within must be the driving force to get you there. That vision to be must be strong enough that nothing, no one can stop you. Of course, obstacles, friends even our own bad habits might keep you short of that goal transformed into a vision. It takes more than the idea to be to reach a specific goal.

Helpful information to see how effective leadership through organizational changegs, involves staff autonomy, engegment and motivation.

From this i was able to take the different styles out. I will try to use them with my manager when an issue arrises and see if we can communicate better in our team.

Learning how to control/lead a meeting that has team with different personalities is a must to help reach goals set by your organization to be accomplished. You must learn how to meet the challenges by going through obstacles presented by the team.

We all work differently and keep the ending goal in mind of the best way to get there as a team. 

Everybody can practice and develop effective leadership skills.

Simple, but effective communication is what unites and motivates members of an organization. 

Continuous motivation for employees to buy into the vision of an organization is what brings change and movement. 

Be assertive, but do not trample over others nor let others trample over you. Participatory style of management results in a friendly work climate and better results in the long term.

Try to use different leadership styles to fit the the situation. 

THis is the starting and ending point of being a "leader". If you miss the VISION" you miss all.

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?
