Analysis of Leader-Follower Relationship Perhaps the success of Southcentral Foundation (SCF) is in part due to the resilience and dedication of its President and CEO, Katherine Gottlieb to take care of her people, her family. In her article about Dr. Gottlieb, Ms. Toomey (2015) gives a poignant story of how, as a child, Katherine came from troubled, humble beginnings and took it upon herself to care for her siblings as their parents were unable to; their father was a workaholic and their mother, an alcoholic. She took it upon herself to make sure her siblings were fed and properly clothed for the cold. Dr. Gottlieb is half Aleut and began her career as a health representative in the remote village of Seldovia, Alaska where she was raised. Seldovia is only accessible by boat …show more content…
In 1991, she began her journey as President and CEO of SCF and since then has transformed a problematic, bureaucratic healthcare system into one that is renowned as a model for healthcare delivery and redesign worldwide; known as the NUKA System of Care. Not much is written about Dr. Gottlieb’s leadership style or the leadership heroes she admire. Suffice it to say, first and foremost, Dr. Gottlieb can be considered the consummate charismatic leader for the Alaskan Natives and her organization; and perhaps this leadership style is the salient rock that carried her and her organization through the epic transition into the NUKA model. According to Ledlow and Coppola (2011), “charismatic leadership inspires followership through intangibles in personality that cannot be measured directly in an individual”. Nohria and Khurana (2010) described a charismatic leader as “an individual as perceived by others...lies in what is thought to be his connection with some very central feature of man’s existence…and meaning is rooted in the fact that both [charismatic leadership and meaning] are concerned with the contribution to and reproduction of a
Kevin Cowan improved the finances and changed numerous broken relationships into strategic alliances (Vanderpyl, 2012). The four strategic steps that he used were: 1) “get in their face”; 2) “offer to serve, rather than be serve”; 3) “weed the garden”; and 4) “give the credit away” (Vanderpyl, 2012). Cowan used servant leadership to turn adversarial relationships into cordial relationships. When considering the relational aspect of the situation, Cowan wanted to figure out the best possible way to help the CHR leaders out. He simply asked “what can I do to make your life easier?”
A leader may achieve this with captivation, emotional intelligence, and through the empowerment of followers (Hutchison & Jackson, 2013). Moreover, transformational leadership research focuses on individual traits and leader-follower dyad characteristics that influence organizational change. Many research studies explore this theory and its impact on the nursing profession (Fischer, 2016). Largely, transformational leadership in the nursing context is directly and indirectly associated with staff satisfaction, decreased turnover, and improved patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016; Bormann, & Abrahamson, 2014; Merrill, 2015). It is possible to connect the benefits of transformational leadership styles to the leader 's ability to empower followers, simultaneously increasing their commitment to the organization (Fischer, 2016; Bormann, & Abrahamson, 2014; Merrill, 2015).

Moss 300 magazine covers, 117 of them for Vogue, 80 million dollar net worth, two trips to rehab, one daughter, and she’s only 44.

Regardless of if it was an intentional or not, the Kate Moss package has changed drastically, and perhaps for the better.

The matter of her transformation is under dispute whether it has been caused by the media or the media resulted in a change of her.
‘Annabel Lee’ by Edgar Allan Poe is an eminently beautiful yet tragic poem centred around the theme of a forbidden love between two people, and the many obstacles that they overcome in order to be together. At the same time the poem relates back to a man’s undying love for his wife in which even death is unable to hinder. From the beginning of the poem, I realized Poe to be an articulate person who has a beautiful way with words, as he describes the origin of his love story between himself and Annabel Lee. This was shown in Stanza 1 where I identified him to be a kind and doting person, as he continues to talk about a maiden from the kingdom by the sea whom only wished to love and be loved by Poe. As this was written by Poe and shown from
