Organizational Behaviour and Leadership
Introduction
This reflective essay is based on demonstrating a critical understanding of an
organisational behaviour and leadership. With the help of this reflective writing I will
demonstrate my ability of synthesising and applying knowledge as well as understanding
about contemporary organisational behaviour theories and research. In this way, the main
purpose of this writing is analysing and applying my philosophy of leadership within the
context of organizational behaviour. In addition, based on (Maas, 2014), this reflective essay
is based on my philosophy of leadership which can demonstrate an application of the
leadership philosophy within an organisational leadership scenario.
To me, leadership itself a powerful word because this term can represent the good or
bad within a person. Whenever I think of leadership philosophy, I remember about the people
who came into my life and have hugely helped others. In addition, I believe that to be a true
leader one must have core values of humility, responsibility, an open-mind of diversity, a
servant leader attitude, family and love, and communication (Denehy, 2008). Hence, the
above mentioned seven values of help an individual to become a true leader.
Reflection
My reflection over my leadership styles needs to narrate my leadership philosophy
first. In this context, I would like to share that while developing my own idea of what
leadership is, an examination of the most important qualities and traits while leading the
crowd has been done by me. As we know that, leadership is a vast field to be explored and so
situational as well hence I learnt that leadership cannot be generalized for everyone. On the
other hand, I only can determine who I am being a leader. In this way, I asked myself these
leadership related questions and as a result I utilized the below mentioned ways to provide
thoughtful reflections over such things which lead me to produce my own definition of
leadership (Grint, 2010).
