Leadership is defined as a person who displays a great amount of integrity, intelligence, extroversion, conscientiousness, self-esteem; and someone who is open to new experiences. Leadership roles appear every day in the workplace and in organizations. Their roles of integrity and intelligence are used to ensure the success of the operation. As a leader it is important to have good communication with fellow managers and employees. How you communicate with your employees determines the effectiveness of your leadership role and provides a positive environment. I am an administrative assistant for a for-profit institution in Southfield, MI. I have been working at the institute for three years and have experienced many different leadership styles. The purpose of this report is to evaluate two different types of leadership roles in management. I will use two managers from my work as examples to demonstrate which role is most effective for running a successful company. Cooke was the institution's vice president and offered respect, honesty and patience to all employees, colleagues and students. His management style is a great example of the Leader-Member leadership trait theory. Leader-member trait theory is defined as leadership that creates a high level of trust in the relationship with its employees. The best quality of Ms. Cooke's management skills is that she displayed integrity. He was patient with his employees and demonstrated moral judgment. He was very compassionate about the well-being of his employees. His open-door policy made it easy for us to limit ourselves to talking about workplace issues and even personal matters. Discussing problems with Mrs. Cooke gave you a sense of confidence... middle of paper... n. My recommendation to you is to have a successful work environment; fear and punishment should not be a factor in motivating employees. The two managers influenced my idea of ​​how to run a successful business. Ironically, I like the management style of both managers. If I could rate which style was most motivating for me; I agree with Ms. Fisher. Although Mrs. Fisher was very harsh on her employees, we were motivated to prove her perception of us wrong, and as a result, we discovered our talents and improved our skills. In conclusion, to be a respected leader, you must start with your employees and knowing their value. When I become a manager I will demonstrate both the characteristics of the leader-member trait theory and the authentic theory. I will show interest in building a better company and will also have a certain level of consideration for my employees.
