WHO IS A LEADER ?

"a person who influences a group of people

towards the achievement of a goal".
A mnemonic for leadership would be 3P's -
Person, People and Purpose
 PERSON

Is leadership a position of office or authority?

Or,
Is leadership an ability in the sense that he is a
leader because he leads?
 NO…..
A leader by its meaning is one who goes first
and leads by example, so that others are
motivated to follow him.

To be a leader, a person must have a deep-

rooted commitment to the goal that he will
strive to achieve it even if nobody follows him!
 PURPOSE
A requirement for leadership is personal vision - the
ability to visualize your goal as an accomplished
fact; a thing already achieved.

“The very essence of leadership is that you have to

have vision. You can't blow an uncertain
trumpet.” Theodore M. Hesburgh

“The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet

must talk the language of the visionary and the
idealist.” Eric Hoffer
Why are some individuals more effective than
others at influencing people?

Effectiveness in leadership has been attributed to

(1) persuasion skills,
(2) leadership styles and
(3) personal attributes of the leader.
 PEOPLE

To be a leader, one must have followers.

To have followers, one must have their trust.
How do you win their trust?
Why would others trust you?
Most important, are you worthy of their trust?
 WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?

Leadership is a process by which a person

influences others to accomplish an objective
and directs the organization in a way that
makes it more cohesive and coherent.

 FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP
Leader
• You must have an honest understanding of who you
are, what you know, and what you can do.

yourself or your superiors, that you are worthy of being
followed.
Followers

inspired yourself. ” The famous
financial guru, Suze Orman,
Navigate a course of action.

SELL THE BENEFITS
 PAINT A PICTURE

Our brains are programmed more for stories

than for abstract ideas.

Stories can also include personal

anecdotes, helping to establish a closer
connection between leaders and teams.
 INVITE PARTICIPATION

Google Vice President Marissa

Mayer once told me that she keeps
a sign-up sheet outside her door for
“office hours” that are held each
day at 4:00 p.m. She gives team
members 15 minutes to voice their
opinions or pitch new ideas. People
want more than a paycheck. They
want to create meaning. Invite
them in.
 RENIFORCE OPTIMISM

“Optimism is a force
multiplier.” Former Secretary of
State Colin Powell
ENCOURAGE POTENTIAL
Good leaders are made not born.

if you have the desire and

willpower, you can become an
effective leader.

Good leaders develop through a

never ending process of self-
study, education, training, and
experience.
