EXTERIOR PARTS OF THE BRAIN

Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It
performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech,
reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.
Cerebellum - its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture,
balance and equilibrium.
Brainstem - acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It
performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and
sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.
INTERIOR PARTS OF THE BRAIN
 Hypothalamus
Monitoring the internal system to maintain the normal state of the body.
 Thalamus
Involve the cognitive activities including the memory.
Is located deep inside the brain, above the brainstem. It coordinates all incoming
sensory information. The thalamus also helps you feel pain, pay attention and
remember things.
 Hippocampus
Capable of production of new neurons, which has a significant effect learning and
memory.
  Amygdala

privately.
 Conformity is a type of social influence involving a change in behavior, belief, or
thinking to align with those of others or with normative standards. It is the most common
and pervasive form of social influence.

THREE (3) BASIC AXIOMS OF LEADERSHIP by Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones (2006)

1. Leadership is situational -This means that leader’s behavior and what is required of him
will always be influenced by the situation. It means that a leader is able to assess a situation
quickly, adjust to it, and provide the appropriate and necessary action to address it for the
benefit of his followers.

2. Leadership is not-hierarchical -The exercise of leadership is not based on one’s

position in an organizational chart alone, but also dependent on other factors such as
characteristics, skills, and even connections.

3. Leadership is relational -Leaders and followers establish a relationship where their interests
are mutually met. The role of a leader in this relationship can vary from being a visionary to
cheerleader.

THERE ARE SEVERAL EXISTING THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP

1.Trait Theory -This theory defines leadership based on certain personality traits which
are generally suited for all leaders, such as decisiveness, persistence, high level of self-
confidence and assertiveness, among others.
2. Behavioral Theory -This theory presupposes that leadership is a learned behavior, and
that leaders are defined according to certain types of behavior they exhibit.
3. Participative Theory -The opposite of an autocratic leader the participative leader
involves other people to make common decisions.
4. Situational Theory -This theory assumes that there is no one style of leadership and that
leadership behavior is based on the factors present in a situation, and usually takes into
consideration how followers behave
5. Transactional Theory -This theory states that leadership involves a transaction or negotiation
of resources or position, usually employs reward and punishment.
