Janelle's Leadership Essay

521 Words3 Pages

Janelle’s leadership style represents what early studies of LMX describe as in-groups and out-groups. Those in the in-group have “expanded and negotiated role responsibilities (extra roles)”, while those in the out-group are “based on the formal employment contract (defined roles)”. Tom’s team is in Janelle’s in-group because they are the most creative and productive, and they are willing to do anything for Janelle which she then rewards them with better assignments and lets them take bigger risks. On the flipside, Joan’s team is in the out-group because she is unable to put in extra hours at work due to her role as a mother of young children at home. Joan also feels like because she and her team cannot always put in the extra hours, Janelle …show more content…

More recent studies of LMX have broadened to look at the organization effectiveness which focuses on how the quality of LMX was positive or negative related to positive outcomes for leaders, followers, groups, and the organization as a whole. These studies produced a result called Leadership Making which occurs in three phases, with each phase building on the previous phase ultimately creating a stronger relationship between leader and followers. Phase one is called the Stranger phase because the followers typically are rule-bound and usually have organized and low-quality interactions with the leader. This is similar to the out-group and during this phase leaders typically look for outgoing and enthusiastic followers which might explain why Janelle connected more quickly with Tom and his team. Phase two is the Acquaintance phase where the leader or follower offers to improve “ career-oriented social exchanges, which involve sharing more resources and personal or work-related information.” Janelle seems to have already gotten to this phase with Tom’s team, but a way she could improve her relationships with Joan’s team she could either give them a task that is more desirable or let them take a risk that would prove if Joan and her team were capable of receiving more

On the positive side, creating a high-quality LMX relationship with employees can create an environment with a high level of trust and respect. However, this theory seems to put leaders into a position where they will treat employees differently based on the ability to create either a high or low quality relationship. The truth is not everyone will like each other on a personal level. My personal opinion is that the employee is not being paid to like me, they are being paid to do a specific set of duties and maintain a level of responsibility and accountability for their work. Treating employees differently based the level of relationship I have been able to forge (which is not always in my control) can cause a rift between team members and is a breeding ground for nepotism, since the employees that I have created a high-quality relationship may be viewed by others as receiving special treatment and impacts decisions such as performance reviews, opportunities for advancement, and how incentives may be distributed.

Over the past three decades’ educational leadership has been in search of ways to increase student literacy in urban middle schools in the southeast sections of the District of Columbia. The quest to closing achievement gaps in urban school districts have and will always be an on-going issue for educational leadership (Daly & Chrispells, 2008). Findings from research studies suggest that school leadership accounts for fully one quarter of total school effects on pupils, making it second only to classroom instruction among school-based factors affecting student achievement (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson & Wahlstrom, 2004).

Robin Clark’s Style and Approach to Leadership Robin Clark’s approach and style to leadership was: transformational. According to Black and Porter (2000), this approach motivates other individuals and groups to ignore self-interests and work towards the larger good of the organisation to achieve ‘significant accomplishments’, more than what they would thought possible. Dimensions of this approach includes: demonstrating idealised behaviour, by means of being a role model and encouraging a shared vision, and leading through inspiring visions and intellectual stimulation (Bass, 1990). Robin Clark demonstrates this throughout her work in which she envisioned what an ideal system would look like, wherein she was a pioneer in designing a system for maximum impact in the 1980-1990s (Clark & Burke, 1998). According to Spall (2002), Robin Clark visually equated a system design to a bell shaped curve, in which the group of children, young people and families who fall under the middle of the bell curve would be the centre of and the system should be designed around.

1. My philosophy of leadership is about collaboration and teamwork. Respecting and treating everyone the same, is key to supporting a good team atmosphere. I believe when a leader puts effort and care into assisting others, then their peers and followers will naturally want to support them. It is also important for a leader to recognize, that advocacy must never become so important that the critical elements of leadership are neglected (e.g. policy enforcement, command support, etc...).
