Top of Form

The leadership judgment indicator is drawn from the leader ship model and is drawn from interactional theories. This type of perspective looks at the relationships between leaders personality traits and their behavior and the style of leader ship and decision making they adopt. This model looks at the ways a leader faces a situation where decisions must be made with regard to their team they are leading. There are four parts the directive which is the idea that the leader alone makes the decisions based on their own ideas. There is also the consultative which is a leader making decisions based on the ideas of others. Delegated of decision-making style is the team or person to make the decision based on their own ideas. Lastly, is consensual, which is the team makes a decision based on the teams ideas as a collective (Faraci, Lock, & Wheeler, 2013). Consultative type of decision making within the model takes the ideas of the group into consideration but the overall decision rests in the hands of the leader. This is important to note that the leader will have the last say as the team members, though they are knowledge is ever growing, they do not hold the background and the experience with the company‘s mission, and views to make a decision that would best align with the organization. There can be positive and negatives to consulting decision making including under utilizing the team members where they feel a sense of uselessness in their skills. There can also be an overuse of consultative leadership can also be very dragging, and time consuming, and may not be the best way to make the decision. The important part of this consultative leadership style means involving each of the colleagues and their opinions, and point of use before a final decision is made, and discussing the issues with everyone together as well as individually. This style contributes to the outcome of an organization positively due to the idea that a group of mines is better than one. Those who are also being consulted could have a better working knowledge of the situation the last experience and making professional, and important decisions. Focusing on the societies perspective, and example of this would be a meeting and decision on how to better reach the community for vaccine distribution. The leader could decide to make the decision based on what they believe the best route to be, or the consultative leader ship style, the leader would gather people from different areas and use a consultative type of decision while also using a shared decision type of model. (Faraci, Lock, & Wheeler, 2013). Delegated of leadership styles is important with a team that comes with experience in different areas, or aspects, then the leader may have and that leader is able to keep aces in their places with the style. If underused however, this delegation style can mean sharing of responsibility that is not enough for everyone involved leading to too much on one person‘s plate or for the leader and less self-confidence and team skills for those on the team. If the leader decides to use too much of this leadership style it could lead to a loss of control and authority over the situation. This could mean less respect for the person in the leader ship role, as well as more stress for the others involved being unsure of their responsibility and their specific tasks. The right way to run delegate of leader ship involves the leader gathering the coworkers and providing them with all of the information upfront, as well as the objectives and their expectations. The team can then begin problem-solving while keeping the leader in the loop. This can’t help an organization by allowing those who do particular tasks test the option of staying in that comfort zone in order to achieve goals to high quality level. And example of this while focusing on the societies perspective could be how to better reach the community using technology. Does the team and the leader believe creating an app that links a patient’s healthcare records and organization together and is a handheld appointment book or as well as tracker of health information. If the app is decided upon those within the department are then able to delegate who does which task of the planning, and development process (Faraci, Lock, & Wheeler, 2013).
