Leadership

First Task:

I decided to interview a man named Christopher Homewood. Currently, I am a Liaison and Recruiter for Target in the District 206 (San Bernardino, Riverside, and Inland Empire). I have heard about this man and what he has been doing for the District I have been working for. Just recently I needed to and started working with Christopher Homewood. His personality and work ethics impressed me. His nature seems to suite my leadership style.

Before the informational interview day came I took a couple of days to jot down ideas and questions that I would like to ask Mr. Homewood. Finally the morning came for our interview.

I liked the idea is that the District Team Leader is there to assist the stores and improve each other as a team.

The way each grade contends with change and directs the transformation works out how the entire administration will change and maintain the change. Effective leadership is a product of the role of the leader along with the incorporation of many techniques and personal attributes that contribute to their interactions with employees. Because the basic role of management in the past has existed to simply demonstrate policy considerations, the difference between leaders and managers is demonstrated in the characteristics of each, and suggests the need to integrate a variety of different types of leaders in order to reduce opposition to change when defining a process of change in the ...
