Week 3: Trait Theory-The Nature of the Leader

In the late 1970s, flanked against Cold War strife, Dr. Halfden Mahler, a leader possessing specific traits, addressed a public health initiative. With a complimentary mix of buoyant energy and no-nonsense candor, Dr. Halfden Mahler’s innate traits enhanced his leadership position as director of the World Health Organization (WHO). These traits helped him earn support for a controversial health initiative—universal, primary healthcare—and establish a sincere bond with followers in support of global healthcare change
(WHO, 2008).

Dr. Mahler’s innate traits contributed to a specific type of leadership for WHO. Dr. Mahler’s leadership serves to highlight another leadership perspective—Trait Theory. This week, you examine the theory’s strengths and limitations as well as its usefulness in assessing leader effectiveness. Additionally, as a scholar-practitioner in the field of public health, you analyze your own locus of control and how it may influence your role as a public health leader.

Discussion: Trait Theory

Trait Theory suggests certain individuals have innate characteristics or traits that may assist in particular leadership situations. Researchers in the field have identified specific traits necessary for effective leadership. As a future leader in public health, it is important to know how particular traits may impact effective leadership.

For this Discussion, review the week’s Learning Resources to highlight the strengths and limitations of Trait Theory of leadership. Select an effective leader to use for this Discussion. Think about the traits of the leader you selected. Consider how useful Trait Theory is in assessing the leader’s effectiveness.

By Day 4

Post a brief description of the leader you selected and two of his or her essential leadership traits. Then, describe two strengths and two limitations of Trait Theory. Finally, explain the usefulness of Trait Theory in assessing the effectiveness of the leader you selected.

Suppose  that there are two (2) candidates (i.e., Jones and Johns) in the  upcoming presidential election.  Sara notes that she has discussed the  presidential election candidates with 15 friends, and 10 said that they  are voting for candidate Jones. Sara is therefore convinced that  candidate Jones will win the election because Jones gets more than 50%  of votes. 

Answer the following questions in the space provided below:

  1. Based on what you now know about statistical inference, is Sara’s conclusion a logical conclusion? Why or why not?  
  2. How many friend samples Sara should have in order to draw the conclusion with 95% confidence interval? Why? 
  3. How would you explain your conclusion to Sara without using any statistical jargon? Why?

Final Paper and Reflection

The final week’s assignment will focus on revision.

Part 1: You’ve submitted drafts of two different stories and received feedback for both from your instructor and writing group. Using that feedback, thoroughly revise your story and do your best to implement the feedback to the best of your ability. Please note that line edits or changing a couple of sentences around does not count as revision. You must significantly revise and make changes to your story in order to show that you have seriously thought about and engaged with your own writing.

Part 2: Write a 1-2 page reflection on your revision process. What did you change, and why? Why did you choose this particular story to revise? What were your feelings on the first draft? What about the workshopping process? How do you feel about this second draft? Do you feel that this second draft is working better than or not as well as the first? Why? Really dig in and discuss your experience with this process.

Attached you will find the First and Second Draft Stories which includes the feedback for both draft stories. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please provide original work. No plagiarizing.

Discussion Questions

Good Evening,

One particular change that I was resistant to was where I work now but not in the same department. The company decided they wanted to be Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) all the time even though we are not production. We are research & development and this creates a lot more expense, time and waste. Meaning if we ordered preforms from one of the plants they had to be on a dedicated truck by themselves and it could be only one buckhorn on a 52 foot trailer. I resisted because to me this did not make sense for what are business was doing and created more work for us. This was a few years ago when we were not running very many HACCP jobs but today 75 to 80% are HACCP jobs so it makes more sense today to be HACCP compliant all the time then before.

I had a hard time with the second question but finally came up with Napster, peer to peer file sharing that was eventually shut down for bankruptcy. It failed because it shared copyrighted songs and they were forced to charge a monthly fee. Napster changed how the world would see cd’s and start the age of digital downloads but would not be part of it. Had they planned ahead know these kind of issues were going to ensue then charging a subscription from the start or per download could have saved them.

I can not think of a time that i was resistant to change. I am usually up for changes. The only time i was resistant to change was when they cut a bunch of people’s positions and everyone else had to split the workload between us. However there was nothing i could do about having added work and still have a really large workload.

I once worked for a company in which spent a lot of money on a new system and wanted it up and running within a specific time. This was an automotive manufacturing plant in which we supplied parts to GM, Ford, Honda, and Dodge. However they had spent $1 million dollars on this new system. Some of the older employees didn’t even own computers at the time at all. This new system back fired when a lot of knowledge had retired or quit because they were so stressed over having to do things on the computer. They also didn’t realize all the work that had to be done from a quality stand point as to documents for PPAP,s PFMEA’s, lab records, employee records for color testing. Needless to say once they spent all the money i was still working there for about 2 years after and it still wasn’t working to it’s full potential. The company had calculated the return of everything from receiving raw materials to shipping and everything in between increasing productivity and stream lining procedures to increase productivity and if was a failure. To this day the my step dad works there and they still don’t use it to the full potential. The next January they ended up cutting everyone’s wages by 10% to help cover the loses and to this day those people still don’t have their pay back.

The company should have hired a conversion team and brought a team from the software company for training and converting all of the systems into one. But because it was a $1 million dollar project they only sent a few managers to learn the system and had them on site for the various shifts for a few days to train other employees. The people in which was trained still didn’t know the answers to everyone’s questions. It would have been much easier to pay an outside company to do the conversions of the systems for an additional $200k and had made sure that prior to purchasing this new system that free training for the plant was in the $1 million dollar purchase to help everyone transition smoothly.
