Emerging Definitions Of Leadership In Higher Education

Pages: 3 (917 words) Sources: 5 Document Type:Article Review Document #:48418511

...Opinion The article by Eddy and VanDerLinden (2006) looks at how alternative definitions of leadership are replacing traditional leadership concepts. Specifically, the authors assess emerging definitions of leadership in terms of how community college administrators self-identify as leaders. Using a survey method to collect data, the researchers asked respondents to identify their definition of leadership. The purpose was to see if they viewed leadership in terms of their position at the college or in terms of other variables.
The researchers noted that, traditionally, these colleges have been described as bureaucratic in nature, with positional leadership serving as the main type, but today administrators in these colleges self-identify using a variety of different leadership ideas. These leaders are in fact thinking more complexly about leadership instead of linking leadership to position or to a single characteristic. The authors make the point that it is important to nurture these alternative definitions of leadership……

It has also been indicated that the patient in this particular case has a BMI of 37 and waist of 42 inches. In basic terms, a person with a BMI of above 30 is considered obese.

...Opinion The Importance of Effective Nursing Leadership Today
Today, the nursing profession is under unprecedented pressures to deliver high quality patient-centered care in the wake of the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.

Leadership Styles In Different Settings

Pages: 3 (944 words) Sources: 2 Document Type:Essay Document #:26193772

...Opinion Organizational Behavior
Case Incident 1: Sharing Is Performing
12-13. Shared leadership obstacles occur when there is no consensus or alignment in terms of vision. The leaders butt heads and block one another. They cannot agree or, worse, no one in the group wants to make the go-ahead decision. Leadership is about deferring and making decisions, so to solve these problems, the people need to be aware of the reality of their role and position.
12-14. I would implement a shared leadership initiative in a limited way because I would not want a committee mentality. I would want leaders to communicate and foster ideas but at the end of the day I want decision makers who make informed decisions calling the shots.
12-15. I think that traditional approaches to leadership are always to be preferred because not everyone wants to be a leader. Leaders have duties and responsibilities and they get……
