1. Which among the 4 definitions match or close to your own definition of

leadership? Briefly explain your answer.
-from Peter Drucker
-from Warren Bennis
-from Bill Gates
-from John Maxwell
Among the four definitions given by the following personalities, the one that is
the closest to what I believe defines leadership is Bill Gates’ definition because
like him, I also believe that having influence is a vital ability of being a leader
because influencing others is impacting their attitude, opinions, behaviors, beliefs,
choices, etc. Having influence means that your opinion is taken seriously by people
thus leading to a more effective leadership.

2. Among the Five Styles of Leadership, which do you think will be more
effective on your part as a member/ follower? Why?
A. Laissez-Faire Leadership
B. Autocratic Leadership
C. Participative Leadership
D. Transactional Leadership
E. Transformational Leadership
Among the five styles of leadership, I envision that the participative leadership
is the one that will be more effective on me as a member of the society because I
believe that the leader’s opinion should not solely be the foundation of a goal and
that the words of the people should also be heard in order to have a more unified
and equal decision. Additionally, it also allows people to be involved and
effectively portray their own individual roles in society thus resulting to a more
united society.

3. Base on the 5 Levels, which do you consider in following a certain leader

and why?
A. Level 1 – Position Rights
People follow the leader because they must.
B. Level 2: Permission – Relationships
People follow the leader because they want to.
C. Level 3: Production – Results
People follow the leader because of what he has done for the organization.
D. Level 4: People Development – Reproduction
People follow the leader because of what he invested and done for them.
E. Level 5: Personhood – Respect
People follow the leader because of who he/she is and what he/she stands for.
Level 4: People development is what I think is my basis for following a certain
leader because it is important for me to choose a leader that gives consistent effort
and time to empower his/her people. Having a leader that has compassion and is
able to share knowledge and wisdom to the people is a leader that I want because
the people are able to feel that they are valued thus creating a deeper trust and
compassion towards each other which I see leads to a society that has a goal of
empowering and helping each other and a society where everybody will thrive for
the betterment of many.
4. Between being a Leader and being a Follower, which would you choose
and why?
I believe that I would fit in better as a follower for now because I know that I
lack that ability to influence and to have an impact although I want to be able to
someday, I am aware that my capabilities at the moment are not fitting enough for
a leader. I believe that as much as being a leader is important, being an effective
follower is equally important because a good leadership is nothing if the followers
do not take in the goals and vision of the leader making it hard to achieve the goal.
Moreover, a follower isn’t just someone who follows whatever the leader and
majority does, a follower should be someone who is effective in sharing ideas,
expressing their thoughts, and contributing alongside others because he/she is
aware of his/her individual role which I think works effectively for my current self.
Although I may be surfing along with the waves at the moment but I surely hope
that I can someday be a wave who stands out and be someone who will also take
on the lead.
