The
television show that I will be focusing on will be The Cosby Show. The name of
the specific character that demonstrates leadership qualities will be Cliff
Huxtable. Mr. Huxtable can be described as a charismatic, honest, fair, and diplomatic
husband and father of five children.
Cliff understands the needs
of his family and works to help them achieve greatness in the personal,
professional, and educational endeavors. Often times, Cliff has to make tough
decisions when dealing with five children. He finds a comedic but diplomatic
way to gain the respect and reverence from his wife and children. He does not
belittle his children when things go wrong, but holds them accountable to their
actions and makes sure they understand what went wrong and how to fix the
situation.
Mr. Cliff Huxtable uses all
three of the leadership styles while being the man of the household. He
demonstrates autocratic leadership styles when mainly dealing with his youngest
children. At their age, it is best for them to be directed by a strong male figure.
He also uses the democratic method when engaging with his older children and
his wife. At their age, they have valuable input that can be constructive and helpful
when working through problems. Lastly, Cliff uses the delegative technique when
he cannot handle certain things on his own. He typically turns to his wife when
delegating tasks because she is an expert as well.
