The process of influencing people so that they
will contribute to organizational and group goals.

sources of influence that you use to inspire action

their subordinates will be enthusiastic about
exerting effort to attain organizational objectives.

Leadership is all about people. It is not about organizations. It is not about plans. It is not about
strategies. It is all about people-motivating people to get the job done. You have to be people-
centered.

such as shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government and the community.

SOCIAL CONTRACT

establishes moral and political rules of behavior.

Some people believe that if we live according to a social contract, we can live morally by our own choice
and not because a divine being requires it.
