Leadership Strengths
Servant leader: Having the responsibilities of service to others and recognize that the role of organizations is to create people who can build a better tomorrow. Strengths-based leader: I strive to empower workers’ strengths rather than identify problems. Task-oriented leader: I would spend time to explain expectations and I reward good performance, correct departures from expectations, and I would attempt to prevent future problems.
Leadership Opportunities
1. Unmasking my weakness 2. Learning from my failures 3. Appreciate feedbacks. 4. Listen to those with more experience 5. Refuse to settle for mediocrity
Turning Opportunities into Strengths
1. Understanding my leadership style will opens the door for building managerial skills in harmony with my true nature. With a sense of where I fall in leadership style categories, I will be better equipped to develop leadership skills. 2. Setting concrete goals and executing them. Formulating the right plan and setting meaningful benchmarks along the way gives me a map to follow, a methodology that will guide me through my tasks. 3. Admit when I fail and move on. When I recognize an error, I should admit it openly and take action to correct it. I should be open about your failures; discuss them with myself/with your team and earn from them.
Leveraging Others’ Strengths

Paper 2 (15 percent): “Eat to Beat Heart Disease?”
This week’s paper is a case study. Read the case study and answer the questions following in 1-2 page double spaced format. Be sure to provide at least 4 references for your paper.
Case Study:
After his father suffered a heart attack last summer, Julio made some changes to his lifestyle to try to avoid his father’s fate. He stopped smoking, began working out with weights, cut down on butter and eggs, and started taking fish-oil capsules everyday. But he’s still about 30 pounds overweight, and he finds it hard to resist the fatty meats and fried foods he grew up with. Then again, Julio is only 21: He has plenty of time to get fit, right?
What do you think of Julio’s strategies to avoid heart disease? And do you know how different types of foods affect your heart and what roles exercise, smoking, and other factors play? Also, does Julio have plenty of time to get fit since he is only 21?
