PERSONAL MODEL OF LEADERSHIP PART 1
Leadership involves training and selecting the appropriate leadership model. It is a continuous process that will revolve around individual and organizational values, beliefs, the work environment, and the surrounding environment and culture. Taking these into consideration, a leadership model can be adopted. Along with this, the adoption of a model will create a sense of meaning and purpose while impacting others, the organization, and the surrounding society (Voegtlin et al., 2012). Comment by Julie Cober: Nice introduction. Don’t shy away from first person writing for this assignment. This is, after all, YOUR leadership model.
The selection and development of a leadership model begins with the values of the organization. This is the foundation of the leadership style. These values designate priorities and define what drives the organization. It further defines the hierarchy of priorities and goals that need to be accomplished. Leaders are able to target and accomplish tasks in the order based on the hierarchy. This will also build trust among the work centers because there is no confusion on what the organization stands for while influencing the basic values of respect, spirituality, integrity, and interpersonal relationships.
To identify values, one must know what their personal, interpersonal, the organization, and societal values are. One practice used to identify these values, is through the use of the Rokeach Survey. This survey enables clear values to be identified while aiding the development of a leadership model. This also enables the employee to know what organizations share their values while allowing the organizations to know what individuals will be better suited for employment within their companies. The basic values will provide the basic foundation for the work environment, employment, and servant leadership. Comment by Julie Cober: So far you have done a good job of describing the tools to find values, as well as how values will help. However, you have not began to describe your values and behaviors you will use.
Servant leadership encourages the basic values of trust, listening, collaboration and ethical utilization of positional power and empowerment. Employees are more motivated to follow their leaders with this style of leadership. Leaders at all levels work together to accomplish tasks while having an open door policy to issues that may arise. Employees will have a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment in their jobs. This leads to the synergistic efforts needed to enhance creativity, intelligence, and innovation of the employees. Comment by Julie Cober: Since this paper is to be about you – are you saying that you are a Servant Leader?
Open communication is very critical to servant leadership. Employees need to know that they are able to voice their opinions. I would encourage this in my leadership model. I would hold daily huddles in which employees could di.

1. PERSONAL MODEL OF LEADERSHIP PART 1
Leadership involves training and selecting the appropriate
leadership model. It is a continuous process that will revolve
around individual and organizational values, beliefs, the work
environment, and the surrounding environment and culture.
Taking these into consideration, a leadership model can be
adopted. Along with this, the adoption of a model will create a
sense of meaning and purpose while impacting others, the
organization, and the surrounding society (Voegtlin et al.,
2012). Comment by Julie Cober: Nice introduction. Don’t
shy away from first person writing for this assignment. This is,
after all, YOUR leadership model.
The selection and development of a leadership model
begins with the values of the organization. This is the
foundation of the leadership style. These values designate
priorities and define what drives the organization. It further
defines the hierarchy of priorities and goals that need to be
accomplished. Leaders are able to target and accomplish tasks
in the order based on the hierarchy. This will also build trust
among the work centers because there is no confusion on what
the organization stands for while influencing the basic values of
respect, spirituality, integrity, and interpersonal relationships.
To identify values, one must know what their personal,
interpersonal, the organization, and societal values are. One
practice used to identify these values, is through the use of the
Rokeach Survey. This survey enables clear values to be
identified while aiding the development of a leadership model.
This also enables the employee to know what organizations
share their values while allowing the organizations to know
what individuals will be better suited for employment within
their companies. The basic values will provide the basic
foundation for the work environment, employment, and servant
leadership. Comment by Julie Cober: So far you have done a
good job of describing the tools to find values, as well as how
2. values will help. However, you have not began to describe your
values and behaviors you will use.
Servant leadership encourages the basic values of trust,
listening, collaboration and ethical utilization of positional
power and empowerment. Employees are more motivated to
follow their leaders with this style of leadership. Leaders at all
levels work together to accomplish tasks while having an open
door policy to issues that may arise. Employees will have a
sense of fulfillment and accomplishment in their jobs. This
leads to the synergistic efforts needed to enhance creativity,
intelligence, and innovation of the employees. Comment by Julie
Cober: Since this paper is to be about you – are you saying that
you are a Servant Leader?
Open communication is very critical to servant leadership.
Employees need to know that they are able to voice their
opinions. I would encourage this in my leadership model. I
would hold daily huddles in which employees could discuss
with each other what has been done and what needs to be done.
I would encourage empowerment by giving the employee’s
freedom in accomplishing tasks. I would also hold people
accountable for their actions to uphold integrity in the
workplace. Comment by Julie Cober: This is the only
paragraph where you have identified the specific values that you
would incorporate. For which leadership perspective are these
aligned with (individual, interpersonal, organizational,
societal)?
In conclusion, there is little doubt that successful and
effective leaders are often driven by a specific leadership
model. A personal leadership model will create a creative
mindset in the employees while identifying the values in the
four areas of personal, interpersonal, organizational, and
societal. Using the Rokeach Survey will provide insight to
these values. Once the values have been established, the
organization can establish the foundation to its’ mission and
organizational goals while also laying the foundation for
employee expectations. Comment by Julie Cober: Make sure
3. to identify a value for each level.
