The Everest simulation has help me to virtually practice the management theories of leadership and decision-making. Especially in leadership, as I was given the opportunity to be a leader, I have experienced the challenges when handling a group with members that are new to me. At the beginning, I felt awkward and scared to speak up and lead the team because I do not want them to perceive that I forcefully involved myself and also directing them too much. In addition, reflecting back made me thought how the members were relying on me as the leader to lead them in which I did not do well. I learned that a leader should expect the team to look at the leader to have the ability to motivate and support them (Giltinane 2013). Therefore, I learned …show more content…

As a leader, this was wrong because a leader should be rational and able to understand what is the whole objectives that the team should complete (Bedell-Avers, Dzieweczynski, Hunter & Tate 2011). Hence, I learned that it is best to discuss with the team at the beginning what is the whole picture that team should have in mind rather than to be jumping to the conclusion that the given information is right or wrong. Moreover, from the first attempt, I learned that in a team development, a leader can use different leadership styles to direct the team to attain the goal because there were multiple situations that require various types to handle it.

This was difficult for me as there was the pressure of making a mistake. However, the team was supportive and initiative along the way, especially the physician, which made me confidence throughout the

Leadership, as per my understanding, could mean leading others to rediscover themselves by providing guidance, not through what-to-do lists, so they would reach the necessary urge to reach a better state personally and professionally. During Dorsch employment, I have noticed great potentials in my colleague; I convinced him to switch jobs from a drafting person to a civil engineer, by presenting the textbooks and resources needed, guiding him along the transition phase and by presenting, through examples, how easily could be the learning process and transition. Along my career, I lead my colleagues to produce integrated solutions, by creating the urge to know the answers of different what-if scenarios for their solutions; I bring textbooks and tools to convince them; I present examples of what should be done, the benefits of efforts done and the consequences of careless isolated solutions. Not only one colleague now is persuading her dreams by studying post graduate in Netherlands, but also she got an award to be distinguished;

In Chapter 7, we learned that if power and jobs are shared in small groups, rather than one person holding all of the power and responsibility, leadership can be shared, decisions can be made as a team, and groups may end up feeling more satisfied. As designated leaders are known from the start, others may emerge and use their power or ability to lead the group as well. This being said, it may be each group member’s responsibility to act in ways that will lead the team to success. With each group member having the ability to act as leader, groups members should use behavior that inspires the team to do their best. According to our textbook, leaders can be effective by promoting diversity, including all members, and not perceiving anyone as

Introduction Team leadership encompasses many things. It may seem like a simple and small task, but in a real sense, it is complex and comes with responsibilities, and commonly, it determines the success of any team or a group. However, the value of teamwork should not be overemphasized considering that all organizations need individuals and personnel who are willing to share ideas, listen to others and contribute to the problem solving of any given group or a company. Team leaders should have the ability, authority, and power to analyze data and information with a team of people with a common aim and objective as well as issues. The leader should understand the dynamic patterns, the connections and relations between paramount factors in these objectives, aims and issues that help in the analysis process.

“An organizational strategy is the sum of the actions a company intends to take to achieve long-term goals (Johnson, 2016)”. Organizational strategy is derived from a company 's mission, which tells why an organisation is in business. There are three important aspects of organizational strategy such as resources, scope and the company’s core competency (Johnson, 2016). As Johnson (2016) postulated that top management produces the larger organizational strategy, while middle and lower management adopt goals and plans to satisfy the overall strategy. Germano (2010) states that leadership has a significant impact upon organisation and its success, whereby leaders determine values, culture and employee motivation.

According to this theory the best leaders are those who best adapt themselves to the situation. An adaptive leader might look at cues such as the type of task and who is involved in group, to better their judgement. A study on university employees on situational leadership found results that indicated a situational factor in leadership when solving different job tasks (Fernandez & Vecchio, 1997). This theory has an application for the EPP that I took part in, throughout my experience I was faced with tasks that we as a team had to overcome, it became clear that the role of leader changed dependant on the task.
