B, thank you for your post on “Servant and Team Leadership.” It was concise and well-written and I especially related to the questions you posed at the end. Personally, I have been in similar situation over the past few years and I tend to be a naturally empathetic leader. Unfortunately, this has led some team […]
Thank you Ruiz, for your honest and reflective post on the motto, “this, too, shall pass away” (Watson, 1951, p. 74). I appreciated reading your reflections and they caused me to reflect on my own life as well. I have found myself at times looking back at certain seasons in my life, when I wished […]
Spears (2010) outlines ten characteristics of servant leaders in his article and I would like to highlight three of those ten and discuss how they transfer into actions when coordinating a group project. The three characteristics I will be discussing are: listening, persuasion and commitment to the growth of people (Spears, 2010, pp. 27-29). Listening […]
Critical Functions of Team Effectiveness Performance and development are the two critical functions of team effectiveness (Northouse, 2018, p. 375). Performance is described as “task accomplishment” and as Northouse (2018) states, “refers to the quality of the outcomes of the team’s work” (p. 375). Development is described as “team maintenance” and measures the connectedness of the team, […]

Daniel, Thank you for you post on William Ernest Henley’s story. I can relate to your post, because when I read Henley’s story, I also struggled with the phrase “I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul” (Watson, 1951, p. 85). There is some truth to the statement, as […]
Origins Servant leadership originated through the writings of Robert Greenleaf (1970, 1972, 1977) and has been researched extensively by leadership scholars over the years (Northouse, 2018, p. 10). Servant leadership is arguably paradoxical and unique in its perspective (Northouse, 2018, p. 227). The other most influential writers who further contributed to the servant leadership theory were: Spears […]
Origins Transformational leadership has its foundations in the concept of charismatic leadership, which is linked with the work of Max Weber in his description of the leader as a charismatic person (Weber, 1947). The concept of transformational leadership has origins in the writings of Burns (1978) and Bass (1985); others who built on the theory were Bennis and Nanus […]
The excerpt from Light from Many Lamps on Arnold Bennet and his view of time was challenging, inspiring and very applicable to my leadership. The main lesson I took from this reading is: the value of time and that it can be used wisely and to its full potential (Watson, 1951, pp. 142-144). As a […]
Daneen, Thank you for your post on Activity 2 really appreciated how well written it was and how you had applied it specifically in your field of healthcare. It seems like in so many professions, I am reading and hearing the same thing, which is that society is so rapidly changing that most industries, businesses […]
