a good leader.

get something, you are not giving in the true sense of the word, you are trading!

•On the other side of the coin of leadership is loneliness, for he who is a leader must always act
alone, and acting alone means accepting everything alone.

•Leadership is the ability to handle uncertainty.

 3. Which of the characteristics listed best describe you as a leader of the community? Why justify
your answer.
Ans:
Inspire, commitment and teamwork because as a leader, it’s your job to inspire and
motivate your teammates to work on their very best of abilities and capabilities, to be called a
leader, you must inspire your team through your actions and words to believe in a common
vision. Commitment, you cannot be an effective team leader without commitment. Commitment
is a leadership quality that inspires and attracts people. It shows that the leader has convictions
and that the leader believes in the cause.Teamwork is also important because it brings people
together and motivates them to rely on one another to get things done. Teamwork also makes
progress easier and allows the group to overcome obstacles that would have stymied an
individual. Without teamwork, none of that would be possible.

4. Which of the leadership styles do you consider effective? Explain briefly.

Ans:
Enabling Leadership (Participation)
•A leader defines limits, calls on members to make a decision. A leader shares any “givens”
(e.g. funds available, time parameter, etc.) and facilitates a decision by members on basis of
limitations.

•A leader calls on members to identify limits, explore situation, and make a decision. A leader
maintains a facilitating role by allowing members to identify a situation or problem, identify
limits, explore and make a decision.

5. In developing potential leaders, attention and commitment on nurturing and equipping are
given much consideration. Explain why.
Ans:

Being a leader, attention and commitment are given much consideration because it is a character
that would help them succeed in being a leader. As a leader, they must have attention to detail to be
aware of everything that is happening within his organization. They also need attention to give focus on
their goal to make sure they are on the right track towards their goal. Next, commitment is vital key to
being a good leader because without commitment they are just shallow and an empty leader. Being
committed to what you are doing as a leader to achieve everyone’s goal, you are being a good example
to your follower. And things would be much easier to do.

ACTIVITY
1. What is the importance of decision –making?

Answer:

Decision-making is the cognitive process leading to the selection of a course of action and among
alternatives. Every decision-making process produces a final choice. It can be an action or an opinion. It
begins when we need to do something but we do not know what (Examples: shopping, deciding what to
eat, what to wear, when to sleep, etc…) Decisions involves a 5commitment to action and the hardest
step in achieving anything is making a true commitment. The decisions are important because they have
the power to trigger the process of forming aspirations and goals into reality.

2. Explain an occasion where you had to make a decision on your own? Were you happy with your
decision making process?

Answer:

A week ago is my birthday and I decided not to do a celebration for it like through a party or
something, or even a small gathering never happened, because of the current situation we are facing
right now and it is because I don't want to but for our own good, social distancing is a must and besides
money is very difficult to earn this days right? So why bother spending to your/east essential personal
things and with that I never regret anything, birthdays is not about party's at all it's about being thankful
to the people around you and most importantly to our Lord God. I'm happy with my decision it's the best
thing to do, to help and lessen the rise of covid-19 cases, let's help each other by contributing simple
acts like this and by following health protocols as we should, for the better future we deserve to live in,
again.

3. How do you react in a situation where you need to take an immediate decision? What process will you
follow for decision making in such a critical situation?

Answer:

First don’t panic when this situation comes to you so that you can decide the right decision in
response to the situation then I will make a decision with consented by so many people who are present
also on that situation, don’t keep the it yourself seek help to other or opinion what is the right thing to
do. Then execute your decision in response to the problem.

4. Describe briefly the following:

a. Majority vote

In big groups, this is often the most effective way to make a decision. However, one may lose the
interest or the loyalty of the minority who voted against a decision, especially if they feel their point if
view was not heard. 6

b. The Handclasp

One person makes a suggestion; another says, “What a marvelous idea,’ and without further discussion,
the matter is decided. These decisions are more frequent than one thinks, and often pass unnoticed at
the time, but resentment comes to the surface later.

6c. The Silent consensus

Some groups aim at unanimous decisions. These are good, if genuine, but they are rarely achieved
completely on important issues. Unanimous agreement is sometimes assumed, when some members
have not felt free to disagree and have kept silent.

d. The Clique

The decision is made by a small group who plans beforehand to get their way. Because they are better
organized than those who disagree, they are often successful on the immediate issue, but they bring a
spirit of rivalry rather than cooperation into the group.

65. If you are involved in a decision making process, which of the above (from questions 4) do you prefer
to apply? Why?

Answer:

I prefer majority vote because this is the right way in making decisions, the decision must be
agreed by the members majority, the decision made must be in favor for all the members in the group
to avoid blaming each other when the result get bad or not good for the group.
