Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to engage you in a thoughtful analysis (and reflection) of a leader and/or leadership in your own organization to increase your awareness of leaders and how leadership is being practiced in the context of an organisation.
Process:
You will select and analyse a leader in your cu
ent or a previous organisational context. The selected leader does not have to be in a formal position of authority. Please retain notes of your analysis of both your individual and the leader to compile and present in an appendix to this essay ( appendix not included in the word count).
POV: You are working in an import organization (From Thailand to Australia)
All applicable approaches to leadership should be identified.
The essay should be 1000 words (excluding references or appendices), and address: 4-5 references required
– How I understand my individual and the leader versus the approaches to leadership studied up to week 5 using relevant theories/models and;
– What recommendations do I have for my own leadership development, the leader and the organisation?
All essays should maintain individual anonymity of the leader being observed. It is strongly recommended that as various leadership approaches are considered in class, you need to develop a list of the behaviours/factors to be analysed with a
ief definition and a space to record notes about the analysis, your reflection based on analysis of your own leadership review, and your recommendations for yourself, your leader and the organisation.

Transformational Leadership and Charisma
Definition
Charisma--A special personality characteristic that gives a person superhuman or exceptional powers and is reserved for a few, is of divine origin, and results in the person being treated as a leader (Weber, 1947).
10
Charismatic Leadership Theory (House, 1976)
Charismatic leaders act in unique ways that have specific charismatic effects on their followers.

Theory of Charismatic Leadership
(Shamir, House, & Arthur, 1993)
Later Studies
Charismatic Leadership:
Transforms follower’s self-concepts; tries to link identity of followers to collective identity of the organization
Forge this link by emphasizing intrinsic rewards and de-emphasizing extrinsic rewards
Throughout process, leaders
express high expectations for followers
help followers gain sense of self-confidence and self-efficacy

Model of Transformational Leadership (Bass, 1985)
Expanded and refined version of work done by Burns and House. It included
More attention to followers’ rather than leader’s needs
Suggested TL could apply to outcomes that were not positive
Described transactional and transformational leadership as a continuum
Extended House’s work by
Giving more attention to emotional elements and origins of charisma
Suggested charisma is a necessary but not sufficient condition for TL

Northouse, Leadership 8e. © SAGE Publications, 2019.

Model of Transformational Leadership
TL motivates followers beyond the expected by
aising consciousness about the value and importance of specific and idealized goals
transcending self-interest for the good of the team or organization
addressing higher level needs

Introduction
I joined an import organisation, XYZ, from Thailand to Australia, where I met Mr A, the leader of that import company and his leadership skills simply impressed me. Although I started working at the age of 15, I had never seen a more honest person like him and his kindness towards his workers takes all the bonus points. Mr A has a team of 48 people under him and when I asked all the 48 people, who liked and did not like him the response I got from them was unexpected. All of them liked Mr A. There is not even a single person who was against him or his principles. From school, we only learn to be honest, loyal and kind.

Comparing Myself and my Leader with the Approaches to Leadership
I always wonder why some leaders are successful and others fail. This is the only thing that hit my mind repeatedly is that I can be a successful leader. Do my employee like me or not. Many questions always hit my mind. Moreover, after much research, I learned that no magic combination makes a leader successful and their characteristics matter in different circumstances. For becoming a successful leader, an individual needs to approach the other situation with a different strategy. These could be understood with the help of the theories and models studied in the class, during this course.
Aligning my Opinion and Understanding with the Theories Studied in Class
There are various theories that individuals can apply to their leadership. These theories can help to analyse my understanding of Mr A as an ideal leader and these theories are:
Transformational Leadership
Mr A acts as a strong model among all the workers and he also has high standards of moral ethics, in order to establish a good environment. The most beautiful thing about Mr A is that he always allows others to put...
