Leadership

Share one concept not discussed in detail:

One concept that I definitely found interesting was the chapter on Leadership in the Group Communication text. Being involved in various organizations and holding various leadership positions in the past and currently, I feel that this chapter was extremely personal and allowed me to reflect on my years of experience. Starting off, I liked how the text categorized a person's personal method of implementing leadership into four different styles (authoritarian, consultative, participative, and laissez-faire). Reading this, I kinda referred them to different systems of governing (i.e authoritarian = communism, consultative = democracy. and laissez faire = anarchy) which I found interesting. Amusingly enough, I've actually implemented all these different types of leadership in different moments of my life. Thus, reading the detail of each category brought up some funny memories as well as other personal recollections. Through reading this, I've learned to reflect on what type of leader I am today and what I could do in the future to do even better, and essentially be better.
