For Module 7, the readings shared with us were very insightful in various ways. This module has brought to light the depths of leadership within organizations and the different scenarios that leaders encounter. The reading I chose to look at for this post comes from Science Direct and is the article titled Value based leadership paradigm. This article provides a look into the challenges leaders face especially in leadership in organizations of large groups of people. The article especially highlights the diverse backgrounds individuals come from and how this affects work in teams and overall cohesiveness. Given diverse backgrounds of culture, academics, work styles, and even personalities this can often pose a challenge for leaders to maintain an efficient and effective working environment. The article details that value based leadership is often the best way to overcome these challenges. One of the key points made is the value of adaptability. Adaptability is a value that I have seen many of my peers in college grow to take on in their set of leadership values. The time in my undergraduate career thus far has posed exciting challenges in leadership settings. These challenges typically consist of the difficulties discussed in the article of effectively and efficiently leading diverse groups of people. With the value of adaptability, I have been able to learn how to overcome this challenge and have seen growth in my leadership because of this value. I look forward to continuing growing in my adaptability and what is to come in my leadership journey as I embark on my professional career shortly.
