 *INTRODUCTION
* Leadership is both a research area and a
practical skill encompassing the ability of an
individual or organization to "lead" or guide
other individuals, teams, or entire organizations
. 
* Leadership is the potential to influence
behaviour of others. It is also defined as the
capacity to influence a group towards the
realization of a goal. Leaders are required to
develop future visions, and to motivate the
organizational members to want to achieve the
visions
 *Importance of leadership
Leadership is an important function of
management which helps to maximize efficiency
and to achieve organizational goals. The following
points justify the importance of leadership in a
concern. 
*Initiates action- Leader is a person who starts the
work by communicating the policies and plans to the
subordinates from where the work actually starts.
*Motivation- A leader proves to be playing an
incentive role in the concern’s working. He motivates
the employees with economic and non-economic
rewards and thereby gets the work from the
subordinates.
*Providing guidance- A leader has to not only supervise but
also play a guiding role for the subordinates. Guidance here
means instructing the subordinates the way they have to
perform their work effectively and efficiently.
*Creating confidence- Confidence is an important factor
which can be achieved through expressing the work efforts
to the subordinates, explaining them clearly their role and
giving them guidelines to achieve the goals effectively. It is
also important to hear the employees with regards to their
complaints and problems.
*Building morale- Morale denotes willing co-operation of
the employees towards their work and getting them into
confidence and winning their trust. A leader can be a
morale booster by achieving full co-operation so that they
perform with best of their abilities as they work to achieve
goals.
* Builds work environment- Management is getting things
done from people. An efficient work environment helps in
sound and stable growth. Therefore, human relations should
be kept into mind by a leader. He should have personal
contacts with employees and should listen to their problems
and solve them. He should treat employees on humanitarian
terms.
* Co-ordination- Co-ordination can be achieved through
reconciling personal interests with organizational goals. This
synchronization can be achieved through proper and
effective co-ordination which should be primary motive of a
leader
 *Personal Development as an
Important Aspect Of
Leadership
*The need for programs specializing in personal development is
widely accepted across a variety of fields from science to politics. 
*Leadership programs focus on both the outward display or
leadership and the inward attitudes, behaviours, and beliefs. Many
of the authors of leadership books around the turn of the century
began highlighting the internal process side of leadership
development including Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People, and Kevin Cashman, author of
Leadership from the Inside Out. Both were widely successful best-
sellers which focused on internal concepts such as "Being
Proactive", Habit 1 in Covey's 7 Habits, or "Personal Mastery",
the first pathway in Cashman's Seven Pathways to Mastery.  
* These books have spawned personal leadership development
programs and seminars designed to help leaders become more in
tune with their selves and work on their weaknesses. Recognizing
weak points and improving upon them is one valuable skill for
leadership development. 
* Many leadership programs focus on changing attitudes,
behaviours, and beliefs within a person . Kevin Cashman argues
that leadership "comes from within and is an expression of who
we are."
*Characteristics Of Leadership
*It is a inter-personal process in which a manager is into
influencing and guiding workers towards attainment of
goals.
*It denotes a few qualities to be present in a person
which includes intelligence, maturity and personality.
*It is a group process. It involves two or more people
interacting with each other.
*A leader is involved in shaping and moulding the
behaviour of the group towards accomplishment of
organizational goals.
*Leadership is situation bound. There is no best style of
leadership. It all depends upon tackling with the
situations.
 *Significant Traits of a
Leader
A leader has got multidimensional traits in him which makes him
appealing and effective in behaviour. The following are the
requisites to be present in a good leader:
Vision and foresight- A leader cannot maintain influence unless
he exhibits that he is forward looking. He has to visualize
situations and thereby has to frame logical programmes.
Intelligence- A leader should be intelligent enough to examine
problems and difficult situations. He should be analytical who
weighs pros and cons and then summarizes the situation.
Therefore, a positive bent of mind and mature outlook is very
important.
 Communicative skills- A leader must be able to communicate the
policies and procedures clearly, precisely and effectively. This can
be helpful in persuasion and stimulation.
 Objective- A leader has to be having a fair outlook which is free
from bias and which does not reflects his willingness towards a
particular individual. He should develop his own opinion and should
base his judgement on facts and logic.
 Knowledge of work- A leader should be very precisely knowing the
nature of work of his subordinates because it is then he can win the
trust and confidence of his subordinates.
 Sense of responsibility- Responsibility and accountability towards
an individual’s work is very important to bring a sense of influence.
A leader must have a sense of responsibility towards organizational
goals because only then he can get maximum of capabilities
exploited in a real sense. For this, he has to motivate himself and
arouse and urge to give best of his abilities. Only then he can
motivate the subordinates to the best.
 Self-confidence and will-power- Confidence in himself is important
to earn the confidence of the subordinates. He should be trustworthy
and should handle the situations with full will power.
 Humanist-This trait to be present in a leader is essential because he
deals with human beings and is in personal contact with them. He has
to handle the personal problems of his subordinates with great care
and attention. Therefore, treating the human beings on humanitarian
grounds is essential for building a congenial environment.
 Empathy- It is an old adage “Stepping into the shoes of others”. This
is very important because fair judgement and objectivity comes only
then. A leader should understand the problems and complaints of
employees and should also have a complete view of the needs and
aspirations of the employees. This helps in improving human relations
and personal contacts with the employees.
From the above qualities present in a leader, one can understand the
scope of leadership and it’s importance for scope of business. A
leader cannot have all traits at one time. But a few of them helps in
achieving effective results.
 *Self-leadership
It has been argued, by people such as Kevin Cashman, that leadership
should be looked at from within. According to Cashman , leadership
can be defined as the "authentic self-expression that creates value.
"This form of leadership can be found at all levels within an
organization. He identifies seven pathways for individuals to lead from
the inside out. Instead of a hierarchical order, these pathways are
created holistically.
*Pathway One: Personal Mastery

asking questions such as:
*What do I believe about myself and other people?
*What do I believe about leadership
*What do I believe about life and the world?
* Pathway Two: Purpose Mastery

around you

* Pathway Five: Being Mastery
Using periods of peace and silence to understand one's inner most being
* Pathway Six: Balance Mastery

Achieving balance may be one of the most difficult pathways to master, but is
the most important
* Pathway Seven: Action Mastery[
Leading as a whole person by getting in touch with one's authentic self and expressing it to others
 * Innovative Leadership and Change

There is little peer-reviewed material on the intermingling of 

innovation and leadership. It is, however, very evident that great
innovation comes from great leaders. Steve Jobs is an example of
one of the great technological innovators of our time. As a new
phenomenon and thought, many are seeking out how leadership
effects innovation and vice versa. Many acknowledge the need for
public sector support and societal support of innovation in order for
funding to occur, and in turn, innovation to occur, many
universities are implementing innovation networks, and the
necessity for unique and independent thinkers is apparent. 
"Our commitment to innovation depends on everyone being
comfortable sharing ideas and opinions".
 * Transformational Leadership and
Innovation

Transformational leadership, a type of leadership that has an ability to

change an organization, would likely produce innovation. Since
innovation is more than simply invention, the process of leadership can
in and of itself be innovative. Innovation is a crucial part of being an
effective and productive transformational leader. A transformational
leader is creative, interactive, visionary, empowering, and
passionate. These same characteristics could be assigned to an
innovator.
A transformational leader produces innovative followers. The
subordinates self-concept function determines how the follower will
react to the leader. The capabilities and strengths of a leader to be a
leader have a direct effect on an organization's success. Oftentimes,
leaders are not trained well in leadership development, leaving them
unprepared to foster an environment of innovation. An innovative
leader is a transformational leader.
