There are always different leaders and there will always be different philosophies

Hello and well yes today is Sunday and I skipped a day on my writing because there was a car show and an airplane stunt show in the area and the kids wanted to go and so who are the bosses the kids!!! hahahahaha

I will start by asking questions on every post and will see how many leaders who read my blog give me their suggestions or answers. The first one is:

How is position power and personal power related to how a  leader provers his/her effectiveness?

"There are always different leaders and there will always be different philosophies regarding their way of thinking it is how the philosophy is executed that will differentiate you as a leader"--Luciano The Key Santini 

On another note let us talk about how so,e people use their power of position to manipulate others who perhaps have more experience then they do. I have done much research and have also done a few interviews where I ask the people sitting in positions of power why they keep down other with more experience then they have?

Some of the answer were really eye opening but the best answer came from a mom and pop establishment and the owner did not speak English and it truly wowed me; He stated that possession of superior expertise is not sufficient condition for a leader to influence subordinates but it is that the subordinates must see or perceive the credibility of the leader.

I believe that what happens so many times when people are in a position of power is that they tend to promote expertise but have none or not enough to actually enable them to implement. The person promoting their expertise must be able to show confidence and not a big ego there is a difference and one needs to have a clear of understanding between the two.

one must have the capacity to show empathy and be able to recognize concerns of other people. the leader also needs to be able to respond to the needs of their staff or changes that may have an affect on both staff and business.

What about coercion? We all know how bad this can turn out and yet it is one of the most common practices in both private and non-profit organizations. I ask people why use it? One of my answers is because I believe that it used because of convenience and ignorance on the part of the leaders to demonstrate effectiveness What I have found out is that when coercion is used it is used with subordinates who\allow themselves to be pushed around.

Coercion can be used effectively to bring compliance or to deter a bad behavior but it has to be implemented correctly or end up in court if not executed correctly and on a timely manner.

1.one way is to administer discipline con a consistent basis and promptly.

2.Try to give enough time warning before resorting to punishment.

3.Make sure one has the facts and hearsay.

4.One must stay calm and avoid appearing hostile towards the subordinate,

One of the most common type of leaders are the Charismatic type which will engage in behavior issues to create the impression that they are competent and successful in their positions which at the end will make them not so credible.

Sometimes these leaders can excite staff to do their work and help their self esteem if implemented corrected. There are so many theories and ways to help staff and leaders reach their goals however it comes down to true and correct execution of the strategy.
