Here are my choices...more questions than answers:

Redefine the Work of Leadership and Reducing Fear and Increase Trust.

Redefining the Work of Leadership...I think leaders need to provide a more compelling meaning in who we (leaders and subordinates) are in an organization and where we are headed. I am also interested in finding out more about leaders being social architects, looking deeper into the employees' and customers'/consumers' behaviors. Also important is understanding the community we are surrounded by, and creating a collaborative and innovative environment to increase innovation, making a better product/service and having an engaged workforce.

Reducing Fear and Increasing Trust...I am still amazed at hearing from students how much fear is present in organizations and subsequently, how unapproachable managers still are in the workplace. I want to know what causes this culture of fear and more importantly, how is it able to be sustained for so long. My doctoral work originates with cultures of fear and intimidation in organizations. Not just from employees being bullied, but what type of experience employees bring from previous jobs. Many have been bullied and have formed a distrust of management, making it difficult for a non-intimidating culture to gain their trust. How do we suspend these assumptions and allow for a more open dialogue between each other? We are afraid to open our mouths because of the risk of losing our jobs? That does not sit well with me.

Explanation / Answer

Discuss why these two are important to you and how you can apply these in your organization.

Redifinding the work of leadership and reducing fear and increasing trust are 2 very important aspects that each organization must enhace in order to keep their employees happy and productive.

The difference between a leader and a boss is that the boss will give you orders but the leader will teach, he will lead by example and by doing this the employees are most likely to take the leader as a role model, they will want to become what he is so they will work harder in the organization and of course a good leader is some one who listens and wants to hear what the memebers have to say, he will reduce the fear some employees have to talk to managers.

Managers should always have their doors open, to listen to ideas.

What would the impact be in your organization if implemented?

The impact will be a new culture in the organization were employees have their leaders as role models and work towards the direction given by their leaders.

Of course, the leaders need to provide a clear vision of the objectives the organization need to reach, and provide the tools for the employees.

Also, another impact will be new ideas from people who were affraid to speak before.

What would be the challenges and barriers to implementation?

The biggest barrier is to change the mind set people have, this is something very difficul to do because people who are used to do something and have done it during a long period of time will resist the change, not because they cant do it but because people usually dont like to change the way they do things.

To overcome this challenge we need to make new habbits, it takes om avarage 21 days to develop new habbits , this means that the first days are the most importants
