Leadership Styles

In order to help  explain the various leadership styles, i'll use a set of descriptive characters which people tend to assume as roles when faced with the task of managing a group of people.

Fielder's Contingency Model Theory

A leader who follows this model can be likened to a Dancing Master.  The leadership style of the Contingency Model as described by Fielder is that of a person who makes decisions in response to the personalities of their members.  Its is a fact that each of us have our own idiosyncracies (unique patterns of behavior) i'm weird, some people are formal and serious, some are happy-go-lucky.  Given these members, how will you make your members follow?  If you try to know your members and make plans out of this, then you are using the contingency model - a Dancing Master.  You are able to dance along the whims of your members 



Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership

The Ninja is trained to adapt to situations, this is my rendition of Hersey's and Blanchard's idea of situational leadership.  This model says that a good leader makes plans depending on the situation.  What if there's going to be a celebration event?  How about if it will rain? What if there are possible unforessen situations that can happen during your meeting?  A situational leader rises to each occasion.

Path-Goal Theory

The path-goal model creates Shepherds.  These leaders are able to outline a set procedure or path for his or her members to follow.  Aside from provideing the path, sometimes this leader also herds the members along the way, and in the end provides a reward for having achieved the group's the goal.

For today's task:

Write in the comments area your favorite leaders.  One from fiction (book, comic, TV, or movie), and a second one from real life.  What kind of leadership style do each use? 

Vital Signs

There are four basic physical attributes that can provide an initial idea of the health status of a person.  These four can be quantitatively measured and have qualitative impacts on the one's physical conditions.  Each have normal ranges that mark a healthy body.  Any increase  above or decrease below the borderline measures can mean damage to physical organs.

The four vital signs are:

1. Body Temperature 
2. Pulse Rate - 12 - 18 breaths per minute
3. Respiration Rate - 60 - 100 beats per minute
4. Blood Pressure

Body Temperature
The normal range for body temperature is 97.8 - 99.1 degrees Fahrenheit / average 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.  This is a measure of the total heat that affects one's body.  Factors include muscle activity, digestion, the flow of blood, and external body temperature.  Certain ill health symptoms such as fever add to body temperature.  Actual illnesses like Gastro Esophageal Reflux disease add to body temperature when excess stomach acid moves from the stomach upwards to the esophagus (thus heating the heart and blood).  Other ill health conditions directly lower body temperature.  One example is hypothermia which is a fatal condition of overexposure to freezing temperatures. 

Current environmental conditions cause extreme body temperature and can either lead to Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke.  The first is caused by the decrease of electrolytes in the human body slowly stopping vital internal organs from functioning, eventually leading to coma or death.  The latter is cause by shock to the heart and brain when there's lack of oxygen along with the overwork of both organs during the heat.

Blood Pressure

The normal range for blood pressure is 90/60 mm/Hg to 120/80 mm/Hg.  Each measure is in the form of a fraction like combination.  The first number is the systolic which measures the pressure of blood in the veins when the heart pumps.  The second is the diastolic which measures the pressure of blood in the veins when the heart is at rest.

For today's activity:

Aside from the usual post for each meeting, you will find out the following through research and make a summary report on the blog comment regarding the following:

1. Difference between Pulse Rate and Respiration Rate.
2. What are the implications of low and high a) Pulse Rate, b) Respiration Rate, c) Systolic), and d) Diastolic.

5 pt Metric

Update for Grade Metric

Originally, all my classes use this 10 pt metric.Grade Measurement

Pts. Metric for all Graded Activities and Student Outputs

1-2 = Very unprepared, very flawed output

3-4 = Unprepared, flawed output

5-6 = Average output with minor flaws/errors

7-8 = Good output

9-10 = Exceptional output

 

If we use 5 pts.  It will simply follow

Finals Reaction Paper (Talastas, Gen Psych, Ethics)

Only for those who attended the BA Immersion in LCC-C.

Depending on your subject under my authority, you are to make a "Photo Documentary" with themes under our subjects.

Generally you were tasked to take pictures.  Include two with only your object of study but without you in the picture.  And two with you in the picture.  Each picture will have a caption at the bottom describing the scene.  Total of four pictures.

At the very end you will place a short discussion explaining what you have observed in the immersion regarding your objects of study.

General Psychology: Your theme is "Worker Behavior".  Your object/s of study for the pictures: Choose among your classmates (get the classmate to sign a consent for you to document him/her).

Ethics: Your theme is either "Environment Ethics" or "Interpersonal Relations" or "Work Ethics". Your object/s of study for the pictures: Choose among your classmates (get the classmate to sign a consent for you to document him/her).

Talastas:  Your theme is "Magandang Samahan sa Trabaho, Tulong ng Mahusay na Komunikasyon." Your object/s of study for the pictures: Choose among your classmates, or teachers (get the classmate to sign a consent for you to document him/her).

Pic 1. BA Officers Who Helped Coordinate with Students During the Trip

Discussion:

In the pictures are BSBA officers.  We were at the bus at that time.  Because of their being reliable and responsible, we were able to travel safely to our destination.  During the immersion, activities flowed smoothly and there were no instance of quarrels among the officers.  Even if problems arise, they simply deal with it...
