Effective Leadership
Regardless of the leadership styles displayed by members of a group, the actions if of leader in the group are useless unless they are effective. Effective leadership motivates the group to work harder to reach their goals and also creates credibility to the group. Good leaders often lead their group towards desirable outcomes. They themselves as leaders want to succeed, as well as want their group to succeed, so they motivate their group members to work harder. When the leader displays hard work that leads to success, the group members are influenced to achieve just as their leader. It is sort of like the phrase “lead by example”. Being an effective leader creates credibility to the group. If a leader can be trusted, believed, and knowledgeable, it creates credibility between the group and the leader, as well as the leader too. I believe that a group must have effective leadership to create success. Though each group member is needed in the group, the leader is there not only to take part in the work but also provide stability within the group. Without a leader, success may take a little harder to obtain.
This is the section I wrote about as well so I totally agree with you on most of things that you stated. A leader is a person that needs to get the team or group going. If the leader is not effective, the whole group will not be effective. This can lead to failures and not being able to reach a certain goal. I like how you talked about “lead by example”, group is very well influenced by the leader. If the leader does not care about what is going on then the whole group won’t care because they don’t see why they should. I see this happening a lot during high school group projects or even sports team. “Our coach/ teacher doesn’t care, why should I care?” was a very common quote which I heard around campus at times. A lot of groups that do succeed have that effective and strong leader leading to their goal.
