Psychology of Leadership

September 5th, 2009

Psychology of Leadership PhotoOne of many factors differing between management and leadership is that the ability or even the responsibility to inspire and to get inspired. A leader, someone who could apply and instill spirit and courage onto his people or group, will surely uses psychological approach to affect either consciously or unconsciously to his followers.

They who are apparently called as “natural leaders” and could effectively inspire his people and groups without really realizing the tactics or strategies he uses are considerably charismatic leaders. On the other hand, the conscious leader applies various psychological strategies that influence “reactions” of the group to the environment where they exist.
In several ‘directive’ (this direct means as opposed to unconsciously do) organizational psychology disciplines like “directive communication” and theories such as “The ripple effect”, it is understood that leadership is a product of command and awareness of the influences and reactions of a group on the individual as well as an individual on the group.
A successful application of a leader in directive organizational psychology by giving more modification on specific leadership behaviors towards his group will yield an organizational culture that is in essence of “inspired”. And the ”inspired” will bring about the success to the leader alone.

Loan for a Bike

Loan for a Bike PhotoThat’s correct! I need a motorbike to make my job easier though it is another heavy duty I am facing later. If I don’t quit from the previous job, I don’t think I will need personal vehicle. The place I worked is very near; I could see the office building from my apartment and I could walk to get there in only 5 minutes. But then the office is not apparently fair anymore to its staffs; they tend to cut the stuffs’ salaries and burden them with extra overtime work. It is so confusing working there that in the end I decided to resign and finally I got a new job in another end of the block about 30 miles away. That is why I need transportation.
But how could I get one? My money now is not enough. I have recently put most of my electronic equipment such as tape recorder and TV on a mortgage. I am not sure when I could take them back. They are actually my favorite things that could accompany and entertain me during boredom. I don’t think I will be able to put another thing from my apartment on mortgage just for buying a motorbike. Nevertheless, I really need some cash and I guess I still have some chances and options for a loan. This makes me having to go dilemma. Since the necessity of motorbike is really crucial, getting some loan would help me much.
I go to the place where I put my TV for mortgage. The place is quite good with a big banner of Mortgage Loan Service hanging across from one end to the other of the front building. Getting inside, I am warmly welcomed by the customer officers there. I talk to them about my plan, and they give me a form to fill in. This time, I am proposing for a loan, not putting my stuffs for mortgage. After the form is done, I am asked for the guarantee of the loan. I have nothing with me just my complete details of my data and new job.
They say that mortgage loans are particularly the same; once I put my stuffs there, then I will get money while my stuffs are as guarantee. I see and I understand now. So I have to apologize for my confusion and promise to bring something as warranty for the loan after I go home. They promise me also to remain there when I get back later. Alright, thank you for this good support and being so helpful on my problem.
