Task 8. Leadership (Translator).

DO YOU NEED THE MEANINGS OF THE WORDS?

I'M HERE FOR HELPING YOU ;)

Hi bloggers,

María Jose is here again working as translator. This is the last time that I am going to work with this role and for me it has been a good experience working not only in this role but in general. I hope through my posts you realized the work that I have to do each week with motivation and trying to improve for doing it as better as possible. It has been a pleasure sharing with you this journey in the subject School Organization and Educational Resources and I hope of being able to  applicate all the knowledge that I have learnt for being better as a future teacher.

After this briefly farewell discourse, I am going to do my role that is to give you the most important words that we have learnt this week with the last task that is about LEADERSHIP:

Leadership is the ability to communicate with a group of people having an influence in their emotions trying that the team or group works with motivation in order to accomplish the goals or objectives.

Within of the leaderships we can distinguish different types:

Authoritative leadership. 

This kind of leadership is directed by a leader who controls all the things that occurs ordering and requiring to his/her subordinates who can‘t  express their ideas about the work. This leadership is very repressing .

Participative leadership. 

One of the most important things in this kind of leadership is the participation of all group. The leader promote dialogue with the goal of taking decisions together and reaching a conclusion about any work.

Transformational leadership. 

The leader and the subordinates increase the level of morality and motivation. This kind of leadership is not based in reward and punishment, on the contrary, the leader says to their subordinated what they have to do because the work that they do is for improving as a group.

This kind of leadership is related to the emotional intelligence of the leader and their followers.

Transactional leadership. 

This kind of leadership is based in reward and punishment. The leader says to their subordinates what they have to do and they have liberty in order to think some ideas to the work taking the appropriated decisions.The leader supervises the work that they have done. If they have done a good work they will be rewarded (they obtain a reward) but if they have not done a good work , the leader will punish them.
