When you think about a leader you think of someone who possesses a number qualities. You would like to think that they are enthusiastic, have good judgment, are intelligent, a good people person, and a great speaker. You can go on and on naming what you think are good qualities. In this weeks discussion several types of leadership were brought up. The charismatic leader was the most appealing. The film we watched in class brought up three qualities that I feel are very important: passion, composure, and consistency. These qualities are characteristic of a charismatic leader. The managers we watched are all very respected. They have a "fire" inside them that makes others around them want to achieve. They are very outspoken and fight for what they believe. You don't expect any more or any less from them. The energy, strong conviction, and self-confidence of a charismatic leader can make the difference in a company or for a team. Without passion the leader won't be willing to go that extra mile or push others to perform at their greatest level.
Over the past few years I have been involved with an NIFL (National Indoor Football league) team. Many points touched on during class are characteristic of the leaders of this organ
. . .
To avoid this the ownership made just enough changes to avoid the strike. This was a big shock to the team and the people in the community. The changes in the organization are very evident. A couple of months before the opening of the next season the wife in the ownership family became the president of the IPFL. As you can imagine this troubled the players and the coaches. Instead the job of general manager was held by the son of the owners. This drives the players to work harder and not take the leadership for granted. He was a great leader and made numerous complaints to the ownership. Three hours before the season opener I found myself, along with the head coach and a number of players, painting the old turf. During the teams' first season they were part of the IPFL(Indoor Professional Football League). This goes to show that the leadership can make or break an organization. The team was bought by a group of local businessmen, one of who was the fired coach from the previous season. Because of his loyalty to the players he was eventually fired in the middle of the season. How did she even get the job? The only noticeable leadership trait she possessed was her high socioeconomic background.
