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……

Applying Psychology To Leadership
...Team building This course provided me with the opportunity for a structured exploration of critical concepts of leadership, specifically what leaders can do to influence their followers in the workplace.
