In My Life: An Observation on Leadership Styles
| Title: | In My Life: An Observation on Leadership Styles (ID: SAC0407) | | Origin: | Presented at SAC Conferences (2004) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | The effectiveness of different leadership styles in reaching organizational goals is interesting to observe. Highly aggressive and domineering temperaments as well as caring, people-oriented personalities can both have excellent results. As we work for and with various people, some have inspired and motivated us more than others. We, as today's leaders, need to be ever mindful of how we are influencing the future generation of leaders by our words and actions every day. | | View this resource: | |
Everything (Well, Almost Everything) I Needed to Know About Leadership I Learned from Ivy
| Title: | Everything (Well, Almost Everything) I Needed to Know About Leadership I Learned from Ivy (ID: SAC0215) | | Author(s): | Polley Ann McClure (Cornell University) | | Origin: | Presented at SAC Conferences (2002) | | Type: | Presentations/Speeches | | Abstract: | Leadership involves learning and development on both the part of the leader and the organization being led. This process involves the development of a deep relationship in which both parties learn basic skills, learn to communicate effectively with each other, and, most importantly, learn to trust each other. In recent years I have had the opportunity to view the concept of leadership from a different perspective -- through the canine sport of Agility with my dog Ivy. In this talk I want to reflect on some of the lessons I learned in this context and draw an analogy between those lessons and leadership within human organizations. | | View this resource: | |
