It was a great experience to be a part of this learning module which was very new to me and most of the terminologies were unknown. However, the studies will definitely have a positive impact on my professional career as well as personal life. The lessons from \u2018Northouse\u2019 gave fare idea about the types of leadership and its characteristics whereas the stories from the book \u2018light from many lamps\u2019 gave inspiration and morals for life. As a beginner in professional career, I would like to carry forward all the learnings which will certainly help me to become a good leader.<\/p>\n
Stone et al. (2004), puts forth the differences in leadership styles that, \u201ca core difference between transformational leadership and other styles of leadership is the leader’s flexibility and focus on the improvement of the healthcare organization and commitment towards organizational objectives (p.6). Reading was never my hobby, but this course brought out the reader in me. I loved reading the short stories from Light from many lamps, that lightened up my transit journey. I saw myself friendlier and more talkative to random people I met amidst my short travels and developed a mind to explore more and more. Having had this trait from beginning, I developed it further during this course. Northouse (2010) describes integral leaders as \u201cpeople who adhere to a strong set of principles and take responsibility for their actions. Leaders with integrity inspire confidence in others because they can be trusted to do what they say they are going to do\u201d (p. 25). I gained lot of integrity, confidence from feeling intimidated and worried about my writing skills, moreover I have shared my strength to my friends who find doing online course challenging. The number of times I had redone my paper with support from professor, developed my integrity and strong willingness to make it to the best of my ability rather than giving up. I loved a bible verse since childhood, from Matthew 25:40 \u2018Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.\u2019 I kept on singing this line whenever I was asked to sing a devotional song which began with \u2018what so ever you do, to the least of my people, that you do unto me.\u2019 I tried doing good and to be humble servant of Lord in what ever I do, likewise I wished the same from a leaders\u2019 perspective. If I would be a leader in near future, I would be following this principle and explore the thought of a colleague or other employee on how they would perceive me as a leader. I would accomplish my goal, if I conquer the heart and minds of my colleagues with a positive impact and see myself to be a leader of how I expected my leader to be. This course gave me a structure to choose a pathway and I chose to be a follower of transformational servant leadership approach. I never knew this word, but now I am familiar with it!!!<\/p>\n
