...Running head: JOHN CRAIG’S COACHING PLAN My Coaching Plan John D. Craig II Waldorf College JOHN CRAIG’S COACHING PLAN A Reflection On Me During an army career that spanned 30 years, five continents and, 5 conflicts, I had the opportunity to coach and mentor some of the bravest young men I have will ever have the honor of knowing. Some were brand new privates right out of boot camp, and some were fresh lieutenants straight out of college. Either way, they had no real idea what the army was truly all about. Their frame of reference was limited to video games, Hollywood fantasy or, only what they read in a few college classes. It was my duty to make sure they could perform in the real army. My Self-Assessment Fortunately the army has a very regimented evaluation system that requires a soldier to be counseled and graded on their performance at regular intervals. For NCOs and Officers you have quarterly reviews, capped off with an annual final report. During the quarterly reviews the NCO actually sits down with his direct supervisor and does a joint evaluation, hopefully being totally honest with himself. This is the time when you are expected to look in the mirror and identify the good and, the not so good areas, of your own leadership during the past quarter. This review wasn’t about bashing yourself or being berated. It was about finding those areas where you succeeded and, identifying those you need to work on. Being able to master your use of self is, “a lifelong...

...woman” The Economist, 12 April 2006 Until the late 1980s, women remained invisible as managers, and mostly few regretted their absence. But the last two decades of the 20th century saw rise of women in management. And ‘this is the first time in history that women have been working alongside men in the same job and the same companies, with the same levels of education, the same qualifications, and comparable ambitions’ (Adler and Izraeli, 1994). But, there are barriers which thwarts talented women from advancing to senior leadership positions. Women are generally considered politically naïve and someone who wields soft influential tactics such as joint action to gain power. This ‘old boys club’ thinking is supported by the cliché that ‘men are bad but bold, and women are wonderful but weak’. (Huczynski & Buchanan, 2013)This review sheds light on a woman’s journey from an executive to a managerial position in ABC. (ABC is India’s second largest IT Company, which provides business consulting, Software and outsourcing services). The review studies the barriers that impact her journey such as the phenomena: glass ceiling, the widespread stereotype that women lack ambition, aggressiveness, assertiveness and risk taking attitude. This review lays emphasis on the fact that an organization must use its best talent, irrespective of the gender and the organizations should strive to become equal opportunity employers...

...What is Leadership? Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.– Professor Warren G. Bennis Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.– Dwight D. Eisenhower The word "leadership" can bring to mind a variety of images. For example: • A political leader, pursuing a passionate, personal cause. • An explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow. • An executive, developing her company's strategy to beat the competition. Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring. Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way. In this article, we'll focus on the process of leadership. In particular, we'll discuss the "transformational leadership" model, first proposed by James MacGregor Burns and then developed by Bernard Bass. This model highlights visionary thinking and bringing about change, instead of management processes that are designed to maintain and steadily improve current performance. Note: Leadership means different things to different people around the world, and different things in different situations. For example...

...overwhelming job, and they must realize that they cannot do it alone. Successful organizations that have influenced the world have revealed leaders with successful leadership styles as it relates to follower influence. (Harper, 2012, p. 1) It is vitally important for administrators to creatively influence their staff to assist in accomplishing the goals set for their schools. Failure to do so may cause the administrators their jobs. In this essay, we will examine the different leadership styles and how they are applied within Plymouth High School. Plymouth High School is a relatively small school. It has a principal and two assistant principals. It houses roughly five hundred students. In this school, we will explore the four mostly used leadership styles, which are directive, participative, and coaching leadership. For the sake of privacy, the administrators will be referred to as administrator 1and administrator 2. The first leadership theory that has been used at Plymouth High School is the directive leadership style. The Directive leadership style is a production-oriented, and focuses on telling people what to do and how to do it. ("Examples of Leadership Theories | eHow", n.d., p. 1) Directive leaders are adept at giving instructions, setting expectations, and establishing timelines and performance standards.

They confirmed that the most successful organizations had skilled Transforming Leaders at the helm. (Jim Collins called them Level 5 Leaders.)

...accuracy. The team must combine their unique set of skills to deliver the most dynamic performance possible. When identified by position on the basketball court, there are 5 types of players, the Point guard, the Shooting guard, the Small forward, the Power forward, and last but not least, the Center. Of the first of these five position is the Point guard. The Point guard is the main ball handler and always takes the ball up and down the court after each score. In a sense, the Point guard is the most important attribute to the team. Point guards are very quick and agile, sometimes the fastest on the court. The Point guard runs every play and calls the plays by using numeric hand signals. Naturally, most every point guard has a good sense of “court vision”, such as a quarterback in football. A good point guard focuses more on passing the ball than shooting, he/she wants to get the ball to a person with an open look at the basket to provide the most natural shot possible. They do not want to force a shot or pass to a well covered area. This can most of the time lead to a failed shot attempt or a fast break if intercepted and possibly an earful from the coaching staff. The second of the five positions is the Shooting guard. The Shooting guard is usually the player to produce the most shots. Keyword: Shooting guard. The shooting guard (most of the time) racks up the most points...
