Discussion Board Rebuttal

The author offers a compelling take and argument on Lars Sudman’s perception of leadership in Utopia. According to Sudman, even in Utopia, humans will be social and social beings form groups, and groups call for leadership. It indicates that leadership is integral even in the most perfect place. However, the approach to being a leader begins with leading oneself. Just like nurses cannot care for others adequately without caring for themselves first, leaders should self-lead before leading others. Regarding this article, the author provides valid points that I agree with and are right, according to Sudman. However, I consider effective leadership as beginning with a sense of purpose.¹ The elements provided in the article are simply strategies to improve leadership quality and effectiveness.

Despite the need to self-lead, self-reflect, and self-regulate, great leaders have a sense of purpose, and that purpose is a greater tool for becoming an effective leader than any other approach.¹ While self-leading, a leader needs a purpose because you cannot lead yourself without it. For instance, the example provided regarding the manager who failed to solve the provider-nurse conflict at the office focuses on the leader’s lack of self-regulation and, therefore, unable to see the fault in others. I will argue that, first, this manager lacked a sense of purpose and did not understand his role as a manager in the first place. Qualities like self-leadership, self-reflection, and self-regulation cannot be effective in unpredictable situations like provider-nurse conflict because leaders face new circumstances and scenarios daily, and they cannot wait until they self-reflect to address the issues accordingly. However, when one has an in-depth understanding of his role as a leader, then this purpose would guide appropriate response to unprecedented circumstances regardless of whether the leader has experienced a situation before or not.^{1  (Discussion Board Rebuttal 2)}
