UNDERSTANDING LEADERSHIP

1. WHAT DO I WANT TO LEARN FROM THIS SUBJECT? LIST SEVERAL GOALS.

I expected some knowledge about the subject Understanding Leadership is to

know how to become a good leader and follower. Learning on this subject helps us
students/trainees of this course on how to become an effective leader someday in our
organization.

Building trust and respect

Subordinates need to trust and respect their leaders. When you build a foundation of
trust with your subordinates, they are more likely to respect the decisions you make as
a leader for the organization and the strategies you plan to implement to move the team
toward success.

Motivating and encouraging subordinates

As a leader, motivation is key to member’s performance and company success.
Leaders can help motivate and encourage their subordinates by understanding the
nature or concept of motivation and how it relates to and impacts the workplace
environment and subordinates well-being.

Effective communication skills

As a good leader we should know how to communicate with your subordinates in order
to drives the type of working relationship you have with them. To cultivate a positive and
cooperative bond, it's important to learn how to be a good communicator.
Communication skills can help a leader overcome common barriers to effective
communication with your employees by teaching you how to provide clear, direct and
motivating statements, give constructive feedback, regularly converse with your team
and listen to their needs and input.

2. WHAT HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS DO I HAVE ABOUT THIS SUBJECT?

 Practice Honest Communication

 Motivate others to be a good leader
 Be a good example to your subordinates
 Follow through with your commitments
 Set and achieve your goals

3. WHAT ANXIETIES OR CONFUSIONS DO I HAVE ABOUT THIS SUBJECT?

Anxiety might be the most universal felt experience of leadership. Some may call
it “impostor syndrome” or “negative self-talk.” It manifests for each of us in slightly
different ways: Paralyzing fear of doing the wrong thing, overcompensating with hours
and force, frequent direction changes that give our team whiplash.

Leading with fear breeds anxiety, cynicism, distrust, and intimidation, all of which
can be poisonous to any team or organization. These consequences make
transparency and honesty nearly impossible, killing necessary forms of communication.

But being a good leader to our organization we can overcome those anxieties
and confusions when we learned the subject of Understanding Leadership.
