Leadership品质举例,更新:写leadership经验总结(0109019)

[日期:2010-09-22] 来源:ChaseDream论坛 作者:Mimi_Beijing [字体: ]

[第3页更新]我给同学改文章时,发现大家常常不知道如何升华自己的learning about leadership,写来写去就是坚韧、尊重别人等等……其实leadership的维度很广,层次很深。如下文所述,对leadership的反思,是文章中最关键的message,你所写的action应该充分反映这些message。 这些反思要深刻,要到点子上。
所以我从一些关于leadership的论文中摘录一些"leadership"的品质。举一些例子,所谓一个好的leader,他/她应该是怎样的。

建议大家也可以自己做research。例如,你认为confidence很重要,你的优秀品质之一是confident。你可以google一下英文的论文,confidence是什么、来源是什么,对自己和团队有什么影响,为什么一个confident的人更能成为好的leader,一个好的leader好何帮助别人建立confident。这样,如果你写essay时,讲了自己如何帮助别人建立confident的故事,就会成为一篇有深度的essay。

但是,不要生搬硬套。文章的整体逻辑要真实流畅,就是你的反思让人一读,就觉得是可以从这件事情中得到的。

我必须再一次强调,essay is the most critical part of your application, and the understanding of leadership is the critical of the critical。

关于leadership品质的一些总结。我要强调,不要生搬硬套,自己要反思自己到底学到了什么,怎样才算是一个好的leader。(可以这样问问自己,如果我老板有这样的品质,我是否愿意跟着他干。]

Inspirational Motivation: encouraging commitment to shared goals, creating a compelling vision of the future, making work meaningful, and displaying enthusiasm and optimism about employees’ potential

Intellectual stimulation: challenging employees to think differently and in more complex ways by questioning assumptions, encouraging creativity, framing mistakes as learning opportunities, and reframing problems

Individualized consideration: giving employees personalized attention and facilitating their growth and development

Idealized influence: acting with consistency, transparency, determination, and persistence to earn the respect, admiration and trust of employees

Improve communication

  • Becoming more aware of your own thinking and reasoning (REFLECTION)
  • Making your thinking and reasoning more visible to others (ADVOCACY)
  • Inquiring into others’ thinking and reasoning (INQUIRY)

1.   Integrate cooperation and competition
-    Cooperation is the foundation of teamwork, though internal competition can improve team performance
-    Internal competition creates energy and a drive to improve, and acknowledges that if internal competition is not brought out in the open, it will create problems when driven underground
-    Best forms of internal competition
o    When competition benefits the individual and the team
o    When competition is intense during practice, but minimal during games
o    When competition is for playing time, but not scoring opportunities

2.    Orchestrate Some Early Wins
-    Teams that start out with success, build confidence/cohesion and aspire for more success
o    Also affects environment: successful teams attract better resources, information, feedback and assignments
-    How to design early wins
o    Carve larger tasks into smaller tasks.
o    Choose early tasks that are easy
o    Choose early tasks where success is concrete and unambiguous
o    Manager should call attention to successes

3.    Break out of losing streaks
-    Losing streaks create downward cycles that are difficult to stop
-    How to break out of a losing streak
o    Define the cause of the losses as controllable (ie we can win) as opposed to uncontrollable (we are unable to change what is causing us to lose)
o    Focus the groups’ attention on items that they can control

What Team Leaders Can Do to Prevent Self-Limiting Behaviors
注: Self-limiting指团队中有成员不太engage,因为比方说团队中有的人太强势,或他们不够自信,或者他们觉得自己meanless。

-    Before the meeting beings
o    Choosing the right mix of team members
    Reduce importance of status (since low-status members defer to high-status)
    Limit size of teams (large teams suffer from lack of accountability, reduce potential for meaningful contribution)
o    Framing the team task
    People are more engaged when they understand the importance of the decision
    People increase participation when competing responsibilities are deprioritized
    Participation increases when goals are clear, consistent and specific

-    During the meeting
o    Setting the tone for the meeting
    At first meeting, define process norms which will guide the team’s actions
    Setting (ie business as usual v. retreat) affects tone
o    Monitoring the process
    Team leader needs to balance role of leader and facilitator in order to encourage group effort
    Discouraging pre-mature evaluation of ideas during brainstorming reduces self-limiting behaviors
    If one idea or team member dominates the discussion, other members self-limit
•    Team leader needs to promote participation from everyone
•    Sometimes, teams benefit from “second chance” meetings to discuss ideas that occurred after the first meeting
o    Encouraging self-management by team members
    Educate team members about effective team practice, especially when leader cannot be present

-    After the meeting
o    When team members do not see visible action from their recommendation, they are more likely to self-limit in the future
    If the team’s decision was not accepted, the leader must provide rationale
o    Team leaders should provide individual feedback concerning behavior and contributions, and seek to discover the source of problems
