The second theory-based change that I could make is handling conflict with a smile. This is related to the service leadership theory because all leaders deal with conflict (Daft, 2014). I have to learn that conflict is nothing personal, it’s just business. Maybe a smile isn’t always appropriate, but stress isn’t worth it. Finally, the third theory-based change I could take care of myself first by making sure that I eat right, exercise, get enough sleep and meditate. In other words, do what it takes to decrease my stress to make me a calmer and happier person; this in turn will allow me to be a better servant leader(Daft, 2014).

Discuss as least two specific actions you will take to reach each of the SMART goals discussed in part I have identified two actions I will take to reach my first SMART goal of meditating five minutes four days a week for six months. The first action I will use is I will set my alarm to get up five minutes earlier four days a week to allow myself time to meditate before my day starts. The second action I will use is I will keep a log in my phone of what days I meditate, with the plan being specifically the four days that I work because those are the most stressful. I have also identified two actions I will take to reach my second SMART goal of using conflict resolution strategies with my children on a daily basis for the next six months. The first action I will use is listening skills. I will listen to both sides of the story without judgement, and I will ask them to put each other in the others shoes at the time of the incident.

This will show them how they really sound and look to each other through their own

I am going to make it a point to ask my leaders and subordinates how my actions, whatever they may be, affect their individual performance. I am going to do this at least once a month at muster and request very specific feedback and ideas how to improve.
