WⅡ：Reflection about own leadership vision
There is theimpressive group activities in this week. It is the discussion about my own leadership vision. After that discussion, I understood we have different ideas about "leadership". For example, Yu said, He actually doesn't like group works because he prefers to carry on his task by himself. So he wants to lead other group members when there is group works. Mizuki said, she has opposite idea. She prefers to do coorperate with others rather than leading others. And Aoi said, "Leader" should have responsibility to speak out own opinions with confidence.
In my opnions, there are two types in leadership concepts. As explained about in Yu's blog, "independet leadership" is less considering other ideas and rather taking stick to own idea and making member follow that idea. On the other hand, "coorperate leaedrship" is more consider other ideas and facilitate them to take action. Shakleton seemed to have first "leadership". However, true leader has both of two type of leadership. If Shakleton was true leader, he would have second one too.

Hi Andy,
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent thoughts with both your posts. I didn't know that the Intel transformation was so well known in Japan, and I like what you say about leadership in this post. I think you will find that while Shackleton had to be a strong, single-minded leader, he was also very good about seeking the ideas of others and involving them in the leadership of the group. So I agree with you, that both types of leadership are important.
Hi Andy, I agree with your idea. I think leader should make clear decision. For instance, sometimes it needs to decide only one from many others ideas, because it is impossible that others ideas are always exactly same. In this case, independent leadership is needed but at the same time, cooperate leadership is important in order not to be only leader's idea.
