Post test- Essay #1

I am leaning on making my profile as director to a big chain Grocery store. Taking this

role, I see myself being able to fulfill all the academics profiling work, curriculum design, taking

care of all the staff including faculty members and customers. My main role is to be able to

provide an overall platform to the individuals working at my company. Being able to apply my

leadership roles will be a great benefit to my company. For example, if I put myself out there to

be a leader and listen to my employee’s advice and needs I believe they will be able to see me as

a great leader and follow me with my guidelines. Both leaders along with followers are often

face with ethical dilemmas in the workplace. However, it is the leaders’ attitudes and decisions

that make a difference in the largest number of people. Ethical decisions often need to be made

on the fly without time for contemplation. This leads to as why leaders and managers do their

best work with a coherent ethical framework that can help them make good decisions.

This role has major challenges as being the center a grocery chain. You have you

employees looking up to you and expecting to be able to see you as their director/manager. For

example, the pandemic were facing in Today’s world with Covid-19. Our big grocery chain H-E-

B has been outstanding at providing great customer service as well as using extra precaution to

keep their employees and customers safe. Employees are putting their life at risk daily to serve

the needs to their community. Their employees follow the expectations that are given from their

leaders. Putting your time and work into this kind of organization causes many lack of

innovation, you don’t get to spend most holidays with your family, putting your life at risk with

illnesses and any virus that may be around. Yet, you don’t let any of that make you less that the

leader you are you keep on driving and make sure you continue to do what is best for the

organization. I can compare my work ethics to Plano; I believe we both have an affiliative

leadership style. We’re able to work with different people and provide connections with one

another. We are able to focus on a collaboration of the people or team members. Leaders are not

born but they are made, in order to be a good leader you must have the experience, patients,

commitment, knowledge and the skills to achieve goals. Plano has the same largeness of view

and the same perfection of style; no other shows an equal knowledge of the world, or contains

more of those thoughts which are new as well as old, and not of one age only but of all. I see his

ability to provide set of standards for behavior that helps us decide how we ought to act in a

range of situations. Ethical outlook is required for these leadership theories, ethical leadership

places the biggest emphasis on implementing ethical values to every aspect of leadership. By

following these ethical outlooks you can view yourself as Plano and compare, strive to have the

same views and style to be able to provide to your company.

At the end of day my job position requires a lot more than just standing around in a

grocery store making sure customers are taken care of. It involves making sure inventory is being

made correctly; it requires daily paperwork, and scheduling. I want to be one of the best grocery

chains that offer the best customer services and prices. Where customers will notice that we go

above and beyond.
