1
Leadership Qualities
In management, leadership means

providing direction and vision for a
company.
2
Being a manager is not the same thing

as being a leader.
Managing is a job. Leading is a skill.
Leaders have vision.
3
It’s possible to be a good manager but

not a good leader.
Sometimes a good leader isn’t even

the person in charge.
4
Motivation
Motivation means having initiative, or

the desire to take action and get things
done.
In business, initiative is the main
quality of an entrepreneur.
5
Motivation
Good leaders often motivate by

inspiring others with their energy,
enthusiasm, and “charisma,” or charm.
6
Motivation
Motivation means having a goal,

whether it’s to create the best video
game or to make the best skateboard
ever.
7
Confidence
To lead others you need to inspire their

confidence.
The best way to do this is by having
self-confidence.
8
Confidence
A confident leader is a decisive leader.
People have more confidence in a

leader who is willing to make mistakes
and learn from them.
9
Communication
A leader must be good at human

relations, or the ability to
communicate with people.
10
Communication
To motivate others, you need to be

able to explain what your goals are to
them.
Many leaders use gestures, draw
pictures, or tell stories to communicate
their ideas.
11
Communication
To communicate with people, a leader

also needs to be a good listener.
By listening to people you can

understand them better and get them
more involved.
12
Integrity
Integrity means holding to principles

like honesty, loyalty, and fairness.
Integrity is the most highly valued
quality in a leader.
13
Integrity
A leader who tries to cover up mistakes

or blame them on employees is not
going to inspire loyalty or confidence.
14
Developing Leadership Skills
You can learn leadership skills in a

number of ways:
• There are many books, videos, and
courses on leadership.
continued
15
• Work with someone who has

leadership ability and study what he
or she does.

or a community organization to
develop communication skills.
continued

Making an Ethical Decision
1. Is it appropriate for your superior to ask you

to write a book without being at least a co-
author?

without informing readers about who wrote
it?

19
Styles of Leadership
There are three basic styles of

leadership:
• Autocratic
• Democratic
• Free rein
20
Autocratic Leadership
Autocratic means “self-ruling.”

Autocratic leadership is when you
like to run everything yourself and
answer to no one.
21
Autocratic leaders assume people

don’t like to work, that they avoid
responsibility, and that they have to be
watched all the time.
22
Autocratic leaders usually control their

workers through fear and intimidation.
The biggest problem with autocratic
leaders is that people don’t like to work
for them.
23
An autocratic leader is useful in

situations where it’s important to obey
orders without question.
An autocratic style rarely works in a
business setting.
24
Democratic Leadership
Democratic leadership means that

managers and employees work
together to make decisions.
25
Democratic Leadership
A democratic leader assumes that

people are not lazy and want to work.
By showing your workers you have
confidence in them, they are more
likely to have confidence in you.
26
Free-Rein Leadership
Free-rein leadership requires the

leader to set goals for managers and
employees and then leave them alone
to get the job done.
27
Another name for this type of

leadership style is hands-off
leadership.
28
Giving managers and employees the

power to run things and make
decisions is called delegating.
29
The reasons for a leader to delegate

are:
• You don’t have the time to run
everything yourself.
• You can focus on more important
work.
continued
30
• It gets your employees more

involved.
• It gives your employees a chance to
develop their own potential.
31
You shouldn’t delegate if you’re doing it

because you’re lazy, don’t have
confidence, or don’t want the
responsibility.
That is not leadership.
32
Who you choose to delegate power to

is a test of your leadership skill.
33
Self-Managed Teams
Many companies have been putting

workers on self-managed teams, or
work groups that supervise
themselves.
34
Self-Managed Teams
By letting teams manage themselves,

companies are able to get rid of many
managing jobs and replace them with a
team leader.
35
Self-Managed Teams
In a self-managed team, the leader is a

team player rather than a boss.
The leader doesn’t have to answer to

upper management.
36
Self-Managed Teams
The team usually works on a single

project, like designing a video game.
The team is more goal-oriented than

task-oriented.
37
The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams
Self-managed teams are organized in

two ways:
1. Each team member has a special
skill, or
2. the team selects one team leader.
38
The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams
As team leader, you make decisions

with the team. This makes everyone
feel important so everyone contributes
more.
39
The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams
The advantages of self-managed

teams are:
• They’re more goal-oriented than task-
oriented.
• They’re faster and more efficient.
continued
40
The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams
• Team members have a chance to

learn each other’s jobs and obtain
new skills.
• It simplifies the decision-making
process.
continued
41
The Organization of
Self-Managed Teams
• Team members learn to participate

and cooperate with each other.
• Self-managed teams learn to solve
their own problems.
