...innovation, productivity and prevention. It is recognised that in order to facilitate whole system approach in today’s National Health Service (NHS), leaders need to understand not only the people and culture they are trying to change, but also their own personality traits and how these may affect the process (Judge and Bono 2000, 754). In this regard a personal based analysis will be conducted, realising how far I have already gone concerning the developmental processes. I shall conduct a critical reflection (Gibbs 1988) of a personal leadership archaeology found in Appendix One. To facilitate the learning demonstrated two tools have been used; a full Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment has been completed, which allows a level of understanding by analysing individuals’ preferences as they make up a personality. Secondly the Belbin team role self perception inventory (BTRSPI) has been completed by both self and observer assessments used to consider my role within the team. The completion of these tools, and my personal archaeology will allow this assignment to focus on how my leadership style and skills have developed. Critical reflection will be used to ensure that my learning is effective, and how my personality has been developed and how a level of self-awareness can influence progression and how my future development will be considered. We know from the literature on leadership...

The three articles covered in this paper focuses on organizational candidates, presidential affiliates and doctoral students with the leadership skills needed for the role of educated professionals research. This paper will have the in-depth research-based on the commonality of all the articles which is inclusive of personality and behavior traits as well as embracing the management philosophy portraying a functional method to detect prospective leaders. It is not an ironclad method which envisages who will direct or by what method will he or she direct. These articles give a concept into the methods to effect or utilize a particular description of successful management. However the conception of an effective leader is biased, which makes it challenging to visibly describe what characteristics and qualities cause somebody to be an effective administrator or leader. There is also not any unanimity concluded as to which traits are largely significant for those in chief positions such as leaders and administrators to have. Although some view character traits like self-confidence and inspiration, others contemplate natural traits like individuals size to be more important.

...Famous psychologist Chief Antwi Ivytech Community College. There have been so many famous psychologists who have left their marks both on psychology and on the world at large. But my favorite famous psychologist is Abraham Herold Maslow. I choose Maslow because of his influence in psychology, his humanistic theories and his contributions of our understanding of human behavior. First of all, Abraham Maslow was born in April 1, 1908 at Brooklyn New York. He was the oldest of seven children and was named “mentally unstable” by a psychologist. His parents were first generation Jewish immigrants from Russia who fled from Czarist persecution in the early 20th century. His parents were poor and not intellectually oriented, they value education. Maslow and other young people at the time with his background were struggling to overcome the act of racism and ethnic prejudice. He grew up in a library and among books. It was there that made him developed the love of reading and learning. Maslow went to Boys high school, one of the top high school in Brooklyn, New York. He attended the City college of New York after high school. In 1926 he began taking legal studies classes at night in addition to his undergraduate course load. Maslow continued his education by studying psychology at University of Wisconsin. His psychology training at (UW) were specifically experimental behaviorist. His experience with behaviorism makes him a strong positive mindset person. (Hoffmann p.9). Also, Maslow...

...Sexism in Politics As far as the politics goes, there has been, without fail, discrimination, sexism and stereotyping. Many of those that do not fit into the desires of the mainstream, for example, women who have endeavoured to break that handicap in society as well as the political sphere. Modern times have shown greater acceptance and tolerance towards groups that do not meet requirements of circumscribed circles. In this essay, the issue addressed is the lack of equality in this particular circumscribed circle called politics on an international level. There is still the need to define discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice among groups and race. In modern times, psychologists and scholars have focused their attention to human behaviour, the human mind as well as gender based issues within the political sphere and even within that area, issues of discrimination, stereotyping, prejudice especially gender do not cease to exist. Sexism has, in the modern era, gained much academic and social legitimacy. Scholars and feminists have thoroughly examined the politics of identification as follows: (a) Gender shapes not only who we are but the world(s) we live in (b) Resistance to changing our personal (gender) identities obstructs feminist movement (c) The identity of the modern subject is not gender neutral but masculine (and typically European) (d) Feminist identity is itself problematic given the diversity (non-identity) among women. (e) Identity...

...relationship within an organisation. According to Schein (2006), core beliefs and assumptions of an organisational culture are taken for granted, unconsciously shared and deeply embedded and construct the underlying of culture, which is referred to the paradigm. Johnson (1992) explained the existence of the paradigm in an organisational world. Managers from different departments may perceive distinctive values about many areas within the organisation, however, there should be an agreement, to some extent, on the consensus of the organisational world. This paradigm is so critical that strategic development made by managers is based on it and strategies are incrementally evolved as a reflection of it. For example, innovative and revolutionary design is the core belief and assumption of Apple company. Their chief executive officer Steven Jobs was very rigorous about any products...

...Days before departure to the UK, everything seems wonderful and bright. I was looking forward to it and cannot wait to have a glance on the “empire on which the sun never sets”. I am always someone who desperately looking for freedom and exploring new things as my motto is that the human’s life was never too long and ought to be utilized by exploring and changing consistently. Therefore, I thought that changing and adapting in a new environment was never a problem to me. The first week that I have arrived to UK, things do not happened that how I expected. The invasion of loneliness, homesick and culture shocked were continually gusting my mind, I was surprised to experience these as a “foreign element” and trying to revise the “status quo”. (Satir et al,1991) As the “foreign element” arose, a period of “chaos” then ensues. Thoughts in my deep were crumbling and I really cannot belief that I was so unadaptable at time encountering a new environment that I once yearned. I have got freedom that I never had but I am not happy with it. However, a while later my conscious was told that it is worthless to struggle. I began to wonder that there probably has a way out and I believe that this is the “transforming idea” stage which I am approaching to terms with the reality of the situation and experiencing acknowledgement and acceptance. (Kubler-ross model) I have seen the light, or at least a glimmer of hope. But it still takes time to ease my feelings and try to put myself together...

...Kong in the 21st century that cultivates talent labors (MediaDigest, RTHK, 2006). Recently, the globalization is allied and compounded around the world. It indicates the trend of “Whole People Education” for undergraduates to develop their own strategic vision and analytical technology for the externally globalized environment – social and economy (Y.K. Pang, HKIE, 2009). Integrated with the upward paragraph, this promotion has rapidly developed owing to the advocate of “Lifelong Learning” (executed by Tung Chee-hwa, the first Chief Executive of HKSAR). Based on the data generation, the percentage of growth rate of continuous education has increasing from 18 in 2002 to 28 in 2003 (Professor K.M. Yeung, HKU SPACE). In the literature aspects, “Lifelong Learning” is the recognition that learning may stretch out across a lifetime for anyone sustainability use and renew throughout each lifespan (Field, 2006). Based on Role of Reflection in Learning (Kolb, 1984), its operation is coordinated with 3 main items – (1) 1 Action, (2) Reflect on Experience; and (3) Conclude and Learn. For my own view, it could be comprehended with using the outcome of your lifespan to strengthen the core competence to make the continuous improvement for the future action.
