Leadership Warriors

Depending who you are trained or what books you are reading on leadership you will that some will write that there is 10, 7, 5, or 3 types of leadership. Just keep in mind that the most important style of leadership is your and it depend on how time you invested on learning to be a Warrior leader better become a Leader of Leaders. Autocratic leadership or Authoritarian leadership is a management style in which an individual has total decision-making power and absolute control over his subordinates. An authoritarian leader makes decisions on policies, procedures and group objectives with little or no input from his or her team members or followers. One would think that this style of leadership is obsolete you would be surprise how many still are out there especially in the non-union manufacturing arenas. The facts that an autocratic may believe that you depend on a check that you are going to take his bullshit everyday is a figment of his immigration.

During my early work experience I learned from leaders what kind of leader not be and so learn who to be a good follower. I work in the fields harvesting crops and even though it was hard work nobody yell at you or was watching over shoulder because the harder you work the more money you made I didn’t like it. At the age to 12 I went to work in a full service Exxon gas station at $1.25 and hour. The owner was Mr. Harding and even though he was an Anglo he was born in Mexico but he hated Mexicans. He would yell at us for letting Mexicans use the bathrooms he would tells that the Mexicans were dirty people. The facts was that he force us to keep the station clean not everyone but most people made a mess because they did have to clean it and it did not matter what race they are. Him offend yell at us in front of customers. One day he went to far with one of us and we all stood up to him. That day he end up having run the station by himself.

At the age of 15 I join the migrant work force were we would come up to the Midwest to work in the canning factories. At 16 I came to Plymouth, Wisconsin to work both peas and corn canning processing. I was assigned to work in the packaging room. The foreman was a real jerk and because most of the migrants did not speak English he would call us name that were very degrading name. There was a big problem I was born in the US and understood and spoke English. I took this for about four weeks and I finally stood up to him and got into an argument with him and he grab but I got lose and walkout and went to the barracks. I was not aware that the whole department follow me out. Later the plant manager came looking for me and ask me what happen. The short story is that he resign the foreman and put me in charge of the department. Examples of leaders who have used authoritarian leadership include Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Bill Gates, Kim Jong-un, Richard Nixon and Vladimir Putin.

Democratic leadership is a type of leadership style in which members of the group take a more participative role in the decision-making process. Group members are encouraged to share ideas and opinions, even though the leader retains the final say over decisions. I believe that is style work better in situations where group members are skilled and eager to share their knowledge. It is also important to have plenty of time to allow people to contribute, develop a plan, and then vote on the best course of action. Those that use this style tend to really care about their team members and developed and emotional attachment. There are pros in using a democratic leadership style. It can be use for almost every business. It afford problem solving ability for troubling problem. It motivates an originalist environment. It help developed strong relationship between team members. We can add more but think I made my point on the pros. However, democratic style has its cons. It can foster bad feeling within the team. It can lead to procrastination and also take time come to and agreement on issuse. We can agree that this kind of leadership would not work in the army. I have work in industries that are fast moving paces and time is essential in the production. The steel mills, foundries, and plastics manufacturer. The time I spend working in the three industries I witness some real bad accident that were fatal. Hot steel, hot iron, and hot plastics does not provide time for delegation. Two business that I work went I was young that also has no time for hesitation. Working on a fishing boat and offshore oil well. Both paid good money but on a boat it is very easy to get caught in ropes or nets and next thing you know you end up in the Gulf Mexico lost and that is a lot of ocean to search. The oil rig is just dangers my dad was not happy that I was on an oil rig and he bug me to quit. I finally did and two days later a oil rig flip over and the whole crew was lost. Leadership is not always reasonable for the fatality but went it happens on your watches it hard to get a good night sleep.

Democratic Leadership Style

The democratic leadership style is also referred to as shared leadership or participative leadership, encourages members of a team to take on responsibilities in decision-making. It is a leadership style that can be used by any leader in any industry, from corporations to educational facilities to government positions. During my employment at a plastic manufacturerna as a floor supervisor . I use what I believed the best of shared leadership . I was told that I was taking over the the high producted crew . That was true was but the also had the highest scrap rate. The most amazing thing that it was alright because plastic could be recycle. I had to show the amout of money lost in the scrap. The labor cost for producing scrap , the labor hours to grid the scrap parts. T he cost of not being able to meet shiping goals. One my problems that add to the issues was turn over rate which was fight mangement to establish a bonus tie to goals and attended require to qualified for the bonuses . I had to proof that I was the person to help them grow. I remeber when I was ask to coach a Little League team 10th and 11 graders. I try everything to help them winning but they would not listen so I made the decision to take some of my best players of the starting roster. They made the comments that we were going to lose all thegames. My response was we are doing that already. So I did the same thing and fired the biggest mouth on the crew and he made the statment as I was walking him out he made to crew member I will see you guys tomorrow . The next day many of the crew share with me that he was lazy and would not do his share of work. So I ask how it felt to help him get a check and ask them the getting rid of the bad apple for the good of the team. I will share more of a Democratic Leadership Style.

The military chain also service one other purpose beside the way to reporting how things are going in the front. It designates who will take command if the leader or leaders are lost in actions. The training is done so who is next, and the stature is next man up. As mention in pass Blog that the leadership inspire their subordinates through rapport, inspiration, and empathy and work well in an environment where they can create change by working with their subordinates.

When we were deployed over sea, we use to call the United States the world. When I get back to the world I am going to go back to school. To learn to be a leader it should be easy I leaded a team, a squad, or a platoon. Sorry it not that easy because the reason back in world stay is not to just stay alive but so many different reasons. I need money for a nice car, money to support myself or my family and many other reasons to follow you or me. I have read and research leadership experts and listen to a few leaderships speakers and work under different leaders in different industry.  President Abraham Lincoln is giving credit as to once have said, “If you want to test a man’s character, give him power,” or words to that effect. He quoted that “A person’s character is the foundation of great leaders”. Scholarly of leadership have come up with 5 leadership styles and 7 Definitions of Leadership. In my next post I will share two of the five leadership styles and three of the of the seven definition of leadership.

There are many leadership styles in the world, and I will do my best before leaving this world to get my style in the leadership books. In my lifetime I have work under great, good, fair, and badmanagers and supervisors. I also server under army officers that needed to be fair and learn to become great leaders. The hierarchy of the military at highest is a five-star general and follow by a lieutenant general, a major general, and brigadier general. This transformational leadership followers have trust and confidences in them. They are usually technical experts in their fields, want to improve their environment and understand their Soldiers’ roles. They inspire their subordinates through rapport, inspiration, and empathy and work well in an environment where they can create change by working with their subordinates.

The chain of command is the line of authority and responsibility along which orders are passed within a military unit and between different units. Orders are passed down the chain of command, from higher ranked military personnel to lower ranked military personnel until those orders are received by those who implement the orders. Similarly, requests move up the chain of command until they reach the individual who has the authority to make decisions regarding a particular type of request. During the orders being passed down the chain every sender of the order understand that they may be sending many young people to their end. It weights harder on the platoon leaders, squad leaders and team leaders who have being with their men 24/7 and had developed a strong relationship with those that they leaded into the danger of combat. It is harder than firing a person whose family depend on them for support but also not easy.
