...have a blend of leadership styles they use. Some leaders are more flexible in applying a wide range of leadership styles while others are more consistent and generally use just one or two preferred behaviors. If two strong individuals begin a new company, their personal leadership styles will certainly influence aspects of the organizational culture. Research leadership styles and pick two diverse styles and discuss how two individuals who are diverse will be able to effectively co-lead an organization. • What might be the potential conflicts that could naturally occur between these styles? • How would you recommend these two strong leaders work together most effectively? Cynthia Collins Week 1Db Leadership Styles In this week’s DB we are to discuss 2 different styles of leadership, tell what might be potential conflicts, and how I would recommend the two diverse styles to work together. Let me first give my own personal view on the Leadership Topic and what it means in my own opinion; now saying that remember this is my own feeling on Leadership and we may not all agree, but isn’t that a great thing about our right to freedom of speech and freedom of our own opinion. "Leadership is the development of change or to create to some degree from what if not done would or could be complete pandemonium. It must be highly malleable and demands attentiveness, abilities, and understanding. It is highly dependent on situations. Leadership is in all actuality...

...While researching, I discovered that The Innocent is categorized in the “preparation”, also meaning socialization, archetypes (Archetypes 101. (n.d.)). Meaning that they often seek out to have the role of leadership/power in a social or group setting. Also. the archetype of The Innocent Child is said to believe that life does not need to be difficult. The people with the mindset of The Innocent child are often dependent on others, but also capable of having spontaneous optimism in situations (Archetypes 101. (n.d.)). After reading this, I concurred that this was extremely similar to how I perceive and go through life. Being the youngest sibling of a large family, my life has constantly been filled with people and their opinions. Deriving from this background makes me more dependent on what other people say or do than a person who comes from a smaller household. Because of this, I agree that The Innocent child is my most dominant...

...Eight Leadership Paradigms In this intriguing Wharton Leadership Digest interview, authors James Quigley and Mehrdad Baghai talk about eight archetypes of leadership from their new book, As One: Individual Action, Collective Power (Portfolio, 2011): • The landlord and tenants – Tenants voluntarily decide to join landlords, but once they do, the boss has the top-down power, controlling access to scarce resources, doling out rewards and sanctions, and dictating the terms of tenants’ participation. • The community organizer and volunteers – The power for setting direction comes from the bottom up, but the community organizer is the glue that holds things together. Volunteers can’t be ordered around; instead, they join on their own terms if they are motivated by the organizer and the cause. This archetype can be dysfunctional if one or more volunteers have disproportionate influence or the leader can’t articulate a compelling logic for cooperation. • The conductor and orchestra – This archetype is based on “highly scripted and clearly defined roles that focus on precision and efficiency in execution as defined by the conductor,” say Quigley and Baghai. “The orchestra members, who have similar backgrounds, need to be fully trained to comply with the requirements of the job and, therefore, must be carefully selected to ensure they fit the strict culture and scripted tasks.” This model is ideal for leaders who require and value precision and consistency, but not in a more fluid environment...

...Systems Thinking Written Assignment Company South and Company North, both companies were purchased by a parent company because they were successful companies in the federal government contracting industry. South and North performed some similar services but each had distinct services that were not similar. The parent company wants the marketing and sales tracked for purposes of planning growth, reporting to the Board growth potentials, ensuring that the parent has control that companies do not duplicate and compete for the same services, and to control new service areas. Both company’s revenues and growth are paid out to previous owners as a profit share agreement. North’s primary service lines are in information technology, call center activities, and limited environmental support. South’s primary service lines are in environmental, military medical health services, engineering, administrative support, and some information technology. South and North share a few common clients. Both North and South were instructed to input all sales and marketing information into the database and to keep updates on marketing processes current through a chatter system and process step system. They were instructed to put in all possibilities because if a problem of duality came forward it could be addressed immediately. Both were instructed that teaming together would be viewed as favorable and that if the two companies had the same opportunity that the boss would make the final decision...

...Ladee Calhoun Hamilton British Literature 1 October 2015 The Ruler After the fall of Roman Empire was the rise of a new religion, Christianity. The Christianity religion was the doctrine or belief that there is only one god which differ the Roman culture. The poet as historian is known as the scop in the Anglo-Saxon culture. To understand culture, one has to understand the belief set. The hero is the most dominant archetype in Beowulf because it deals with the fraternity warrior’s culture. Although the pluralism of Anglo-Saxon culture is very similar to our American culture, the archetype of The Ruler takes place in America today because everyone wants to take control and have power over their own lives and others around. In Literature, an Archetype is a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal pattern or human nature. There are many set archetypes; The Innocent, The Lover, and The Rebel. However, the one that dominates the most in Anglo-Saxon culture is the Hero. “I’ve never known fear, as a youth I fought in endless battles. I am old, now, but will fight again, seek fame still, if the dragon hiding in his tower dares to face me” (Beowulf’s Last Battle 607-610). In Anglo-Saxon culture being boastful and prideful is praised because it is a characteristic of a Hero. The poem itself was named after Beowulf to show that he was the dominant hero, the one who stood in the spotlight. “Then he stepped to another still body, clutched at...

...interest in occultism, Eastern religions. Jung considered individuation, a psychological process of integrating the opposites including the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining their relative autonomy, necessary for a person to become whole. Individuation is the central concept of analytical psychology. ANIMUS: Animus is the archetype of reason and spirits in women. This is the male aspect of the female psyche, as the anima is the female aspect of male psyche. This archetype is projected in various male images and characters like great artists, heroes, warriors, sportsmen, philosopher, and so forth. When identified with the animus (animus-inflated), women develop an excessive rational drive which may end up in excessive criticism and stubbornness. In animus-inflated women with strong interest in intellectual matters we find the need to impose and maintain a rigorous and schematic list of values judged the most important. There's no reflection as regard the tenures of these values, nor any aim at discussing about them. Only the urge to impose them to others. But how should women deal with the animus archetype inside them? There is a very important study on the animus written by Jung's wife Ema. She wrote:” What we women have to overcome in our relation to the animus is not pride but lack of...

Extending the Human Resource Architecture: Relational Archetypes and Value Creation Abstract Theories of knowledge-based competition focus on internal resources as the source of value creation. The HR architecture (Lepak & Snell, 1999) brought human resource management directly into this forum by developing a model of human capital allocation and management. We attempt to extend the HR architecture by introducing a framework of relational archetypes—entrepreneurial and cooperative—that are derived from unique combinations of three dimensions (cognitive, structural, and affective) that characterize internal and external relationships of core knowledge employees. Entrepreneurial archetypes facilitate value creation from external partnerships while cooperative archetypes facilitate value creation from internal partnerships...

...ON: The 12 Archetypes of Jung used in Marketing Source: http://joannapenabickley.typepad.com/on/2007/06/on_the_12_arche.html Also see The term "archetypes", as it is used in marketing today, has its origins in Carl Gustav Jung's theories. He believed that universal, mythic characters— archetypes—reside within the collective unconscious of people the world over. Archetypal images represent fundamental human desires and evoke deep emotions. There are 12 archetypes which symbolizes a basic human need, aspiration or motivation. In other words, an archetype is a human type in its purest form: the classic hero, outlaw, ruler, etc. Each type has its own set of values, meanings and personality traits. 1. The Innocent Motto: Free to be you and me Core desire: to get to paradise Goal: to be happy Greatest fear: to be punished for doing something bad or wrong Strategy: to do things right Weakness: boring for all their naive innocence Talent: faith and optimism The Innocent is also known as: Utopian, traditionalist, naive, mystic, saint, romantic, dreamer. The Innocent provides an identity for brands that: * offer a simple solution to an identifiable problem are associated with goodness, morality, simplicity, nostalgia or childhood * are low or moderately priced are produced by a company with straightforward values need to be differentiated from brands with poor reputations. 2. The Regular Guy/Girl Motto: All men and women are created equal Core Desire:...

...Ralph and Jack’s relationship is a symbol for the theme of order vs. savagery in Lord of the Flies; the ups and downs of their relationship directly correlate with the development of the plot more so than any other. Jack is portrayed as controlling and aggressive when he first appears; he expects the unconditional obedience of others and is the quickest to openly insult the weakest of the group, Piggy. His behavior foreshadows his quick transition to savagery later in the book. Ralph, on the other hand, is calmer and less assertive. He is a firm believer in order and logical thinking, and so remains undeterred from his goal. In the beginning of Lord of the Flies, both of them demonstrate a shy liking for one another even though they had competed...

...When Joey told me he messaged Nick and was met with hostility, I was straightforward in telling him that it was unnecessary to tell Nick that he wouldn’t have a good chance to win an election for an executive board position. Ben and Joey responded in that they wanted to warn him of the possibility. Reading Leadership on the Line by Ronald Heifetz allowed me to analyze my personal case as a leadership failure, in order to properly diagnose the systems and leadership dynamics at play during my time as a leader of this student organization. After careful consideration it was clear that our desire to run a much more relaxed and informal organization left us unprepared to manage certain structured formalities that eventually led to loss in Nick...

...Have you ever held the door for someone, helped them out of a car, or displayed some other act of humanity? If yes, the modern world would consider you an everyday hero. However back in the time of Beowulf, a hero is portrayed as a strong and courageous super human. And while ancient and modern hero archetypes may serve a purpose in literature, they do not accurately reflect what it means to be heroic in real life. Old stories and modern films use implied metaphors, the hero cycle, and are usually influenced by culture. Whereas a real life hero is not bound by a writers ideas, and acts on their own. In almost every heroic story or film the hero encounters a challenge. These challenges can be thought of as metaphors for heroes in real life. Beowulf goes through many challenges throughout the book, but a notable one is when he goes to Grendel’s mother’s lair. When he “sank though the murky waves for hours, and at last he saw the mud of the bottom” (570, 574) he goes through a challenge. This challenge is a great example of a metaphoric challenge. The water symbolizes all the things he must go through to get to his goal, the bottom. Also he was sinking for hours. This amount of time also shows that no matter how far away the goal seems, it’s always reachable in some way or another. A second instance of this is when Beowulf kills Grendel’s Mother and “her body fell to the floor, lifeless […] Beowulf rejoiced at the sight.” (642, 645). This illustrates that when completing your...

...Values and Servant Leadership The purpose of a servant leader is to serve their followers vice the followers serving the leader. “Not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.” (1 Peter 5:3). By serving and setting the example, they make the needs and development of their followers a priority. According to Robert Greenleaf (1977), servant leaders are those who believe they must put other people’s needs and interests above their own desires and well being. As a result, followers typically grow healthier, wiser, freer, autonomous, and are prone to become servant leaders themselves (p. 13). Therefore the servant leader is quite different than the more traditional leader. The typical leader that we are accustomed to will act in the best interest of the organization. According to Jim Ditmar (2006), Larry Spears, who is an advocate of servant leadership and added additional characteristics to Greenleaf’s model of the servant leader. Spears identified additional characteristics of the servant leader, which are: foresight, listening, and persuasion. Spears thought that these additional characteristics were the keys to helping people identify their strengths and weaknesses from a servant leader perspective. Another advocate of the servant leader model is J. Randall Wallace, who based his servant leader attributes upon Judeo-Christian traditions, Old Testament, and New Testament scriptures. Wallace (2006) identified eight...

...I’ve been reflecting a lot about different leadership styles as I’ve been reading Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs and observing the RIM leadership change and ongoing punditry about it. With the proviso that I’m no tech or business guru and I’m using these examples as metaphor (so don’t take them to be stock tips!) let’s take a look at how these two stories translate into leadership archetypes. Steve Jobs is the poster child for iconoclastic, mercurial leaders. If only half of what is in Isaacson’s recent bio is true, working with him was grueling, filled with bullying, drama, tears and temper tantrums. But also exciting, creative, and episodically even empowering as he pushed individuals beyond what they could imagine they were capable of. Ousted from the apex of the company, Jobs’ odyssey through Pixar and NeXT ultimately brings him back to rescue Apple from its descent into ordinariness. This is the Harry Potter model of leadership: the chosen one, different and special from birth, with abilities virtually super human, able to do things ordinary humans can barely aspire to. Contrast RIM: co-chief executives have been at the helm, the technology has always felt like it was about being secure and functional rather than dazzling. As critique upon critique mounted (and the company’s market share fell) the company responded with incremental changes to the product and its marketing, tinkered with its corporate governance (hardly sexy), and eventually allowed its co-CEOs to...

...Henry B. Adams. In the midst of the next world war, a group of British school boys are left stranded on an island after their plane crashes. Blinded by the freedom of no adult supervision, the fragile order of the island collapses and terror takes over. In the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding the archetypal characters of the Mentor, Simon, and the shadow, Jack, are used to show the two sides of society; order and chaos. Simon is the mentor character archetype because he suffers from trying to give the gift of knowledge to the other boys, he helps the learner, Ralph, overcome obstacles, and he is a misunderstood prophet who understands...
