Exercise - Sharing Power
Exercise - Sharing Power
Purpose:
To identify appropriate areas where power can be shared with subordinates in order to gain buy-in and share the work load.
Method:
Work together in your groups. Identify one situation from the list below where it would be appropriate for a leader to share power and one situation where it would not be appropriate to share power.
Provide an explanation of why for both situations.
You have 10 minutes to finish the activity.
Consider importance of the task and the experience level required of the subordinate.
Situation examples include:
• Developing crew performance standards.
• Developing crew conduct policy.
• Making job assignments at the station.
• Making an urgent tactical decision on a fire.
• Assigning a lookout.
• Resolving a conflict between two crew members.
Leadership Examples
Leadership Examples
Purpose:
To provide examples of the three basic leadership styles and the situational considerations that determine which of those leadership styles is most appropriate.
Method:
For this exercise students will watch a video that will show examples of the three leadership styles. One or two situational considerations will be evident from the dialog in each example.
At the end of the video segment, work together in groups. Each group will be assigned one of the three leadership styles (directing, delegating, or participating).
Identify several task, team, and leader considerations that may determine whether the leadership style assigned to your group can be successfully applied.
