Leadership

To me “Leadership means leading people for positive outcomes”. An effective leader may have many aspects but the relationship that exists between a leader and their followers is one of the most important aspects of leadership which can determine the success quotient in any organization.

Leadership is all about having the right amount of heart and determination to help make a difference in someone’s life. It takes certain qualities to be considered a good leader. A leader should want to help inspire others to make a change and to be the best that they can be. A true leader does not need to feel powerful, instead they empower those around them. Throughout my life I have come across various leaders who have made an impact on my life. It takes a very special person to inspire and touch people’s lives. Leadership is so much deeper than having power and bossing people around.

In this intriguing Wharton Leadership Digest interview, authors James Quigley and Mehrdad Baghai talk about eight archetypes of leadership from their new book, As One: Individual Action, Collective Power (Portfolio, 2011): • The landlord and tenants – Tenants voluntarily decide to join landlords, but once they do, the boss has the top-down power, controlling access to scarce resources, doling out rewards and sanctions, and dictating the terms of tenants’ participation. • The community organizer and volunteers – The power for setting direction comes from the bottom up, but the community organizer is the glue that holds things together. Volunteers can’t be ordered around; instead, they join on their own terms if

Leadership is something that people are born with. It is an inherent charm and it doesn’t hide even if you want to hide it. There is a leader amongst us and he or she is the one that leads other people to great things by inspiring and motivating people to do good deeds. Leadership has been described as “a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”. This way a leader can decide what work goes in and goes out. Good leaders in history have left a mark in walks of life. But great leaders, they’re different. Great leaders have the ability to make each and every individual re-think their life decisions and choices by

According to Webster’s Dictionary, leadership is the power or ability to lead other people, the act or instance of leading. I believe that Leadership is an art, the art to get others to follow and accomplish a common goal or task in a harmonic manner. A leader can be shown in all kinds of shapes and forms. To be a great leader many people believe it consists of modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart. Over the course of me learning how to become a better leader and being in leadership roles, I’ve learned that all these are very necessary to be a great leader.

Effective followership is an essential component of effective leadership in that, without good followers, the leader’s work is difficult and cumbersome. The role of the follower is many times understated. As illustrated by Kelley (1998), “effective followers are thinkers; energetic and assertive, self-starters, independent problem solvers, and carry out their tasks with these characteristics (p. 143). Effective followers also are characterized by their ability to perform tasks with little supervision, their intelligence, and ability to think for themselves. We are all followers, even those who consider themselves leaders; so to encourage this effectiveness in others; we must be role models for those under us, so that they may also be effective at following. Chaleff (2009) observed that “all important social accomplishments require complex

A leader needs to “believe” in oneself and have the confidence that whatever you say will excite and what you do can motivate others. You must be optimistic about what you do, do have some relevance for being in existence. Believe it or not, “leadership begins with you”.

Followers identify themselves with the leaders and want to perform better than what is expected from them. Leaders put forward their vision and mission and make sure that followers work on it. They are genuinely concerned about the progress of the followers. Charismatic leaders are greatly trusted and respected by their followers.

One characteristic of a leader are being honest. A leader cannot model the way without being seen as honest/trustworthy. No matter what setting they are in, everyone wants to be fully

Yes I agree that managers deliver messages while leaders create messages. It is true that managers are more of a deliverer of message since their responsibilities involves that of controlling existing functions. While leaders are message creators since they are visionaries and decide upon what should be the upcoming strategies of the company or organisation shall be. Responsibilities that come under the purview of a leader are greater than that of a manager. This is more visible from the fact that leaders create vision based on available market opportunities or estimated changes. In the other hand, managers are engaged in the creation of organizational objectives, setting of strategic goals and managing that goal by resource allocation

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way,” Thomas Paine once said. When I think of leadership I think of someone who is the leader of an organization, club, or business someone who’s in charge and is, astonishing important. “Leadership is a highly sought-after and highly valued commodity. Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal” (Northouse).

The explanation would be, influence is involved in leadership. Leadership is reciprocal, in many organization the superiors influences their subordinates but in some organization subordinates influences their superiors. Leadership involves creating change and the changes are towards the outcome which the leaders and followers both want. An important aspect would be influencing others to follow a common vision. Leadership is a people activity. Since leadership involves people, there are followers. Every individual who has a great skill and is expertise in their field is a leader for example musician, scientist, etc. In the leadership process follower is very essential. Those who are a good leader knows how to follow, it’s when they set an example for others.
