Human na ang eleksyon, pahuway na ta uy!

Human na ang eleksyon. Kun duna may mga protesta, kay di man sad ni kalikayan, ma-PCOS o ma-manomano, iadto na ni sa Comelec, sa Electoral Tribunal, hangtud sa Supreme Court. Waa na tay labut ini. Ihikling nato makadiyot ang politika. Let’s move forward. Daghan pa kaayo tag buhatonon. Di ta moatras. Mudas-og ta sa unahan. Let’s not allow politics to pull us back. Kapuy na.

Sa mga newspaper columns ug mga radio commentaries, mora man og sige pa ang kampanya. Pahuway na ta uy. Sa pagka-dirty sa atong politics, mora man og walay paglurang ang paglinabayay og lapok sa pipila ka kolumnista ug komentarista. Pahuway na uy!

Akong usbon, human na ang eleksyon. Ato nang i-focus ang atong pagpakabana ngadto sa pagpalambo sa atong nasud, sa atong lalawigan ug dakbayan. Sa mga nakadaug, atong sutaon ang ilang leadership style. Aniay atong nakutlo gikan sa Internet, sa Yahoo homepage. Tan-awa kun mao ba kini ang inyong gibasihan sa inyong pagbotar sa miaging eleksyon.

1. Autocratic Leadership. This is strictly an authoritarian style of leadership which involves delineating tasks for the entire team. There is a clear distinction between the leader and the team. An autocratic leader entertains little or no inputs from the team in the overall decision-making process. This leadership style is best for situations where the leader is exceedingly more knowledgeable and experienced among the team and there is little time for decision-making.

2. Democratic Leadership. This type of leadership invites feedback, criticism and inputs from the team members. This form of leadership has a more dynamic setup in which the team/followers opinion is taken into account by the leader while making decisions. This leadership is regarded as suitable for most business environments.

3. Visionary Leadership. A visionary leader may not necessarily assign concrete functions or duties to the team. This style of leadership promotes innovation and experimentation on part of the team as there is no set plan to achieve the set goals. The prime function of the leader in this style of leadership is to provide the requisite motivation.

4. Laissez Faire Leadership. In this form of leadership, the leader practices little or no control over the team. Recommended for an able and qualified team, this form of leadership is suitable for highly creative endeavors. In this setup, the team also actively and self-sufficiently takes part in the decision-making process.

5. Coaching Leadership. This style of leadership find its application in situations where the team lacks in experience or skill required for attaining the set goals. In comprehension with leadership and motivation, the leader also provides coaching to the team members and helps them to carry out their tasks and responsibilities.

6. Transactional Leadership. This setup of leadership works on the principles of reward and punishment. Based on a practical approach, team members are rewarded for carrying out their tasks and outperforming others. The team members that don’t show enthusiasm and lag behind on their set targets are imposed with penalty or punishment.

To be an able leader, what you must need to know is how to project yourself to the workforce. An able leader does not stick to a single style of leadership but improvises according to the goals and the team. Every person may not be a leader but there is a leader in every person.
