WHAT IS LEADERSHIP
 Leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to
act toward achieving a common goal.
 Leadership captures the essentials of being able and
prepared to inspire others. Effective leadership is based
upon ideas—both original and borrowed—that are
effectively communicated to others in a way that engages
them enough to act as the leader wants them to act.
LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT
 Leadership and management are the terms that are often
considered synonymous. It is essential to understand that
leadership is an essential part of effective management.
As a crucial component of management, remarkable
leadership behaviour stresses upon building an
environment in which each and every employee develops
and excels. Leadership is defined as the potential to
influence and drive the group efforts towards the
accomplishment of goals. This influence may originate
from formal sources, such as that provided by acquisition
of managerial position in an organization.
 A manager must have traits of a leader, i.e., he must
possess leadership qualities. Leaders develop and begin
strategies that build and sustain competitive advantage.
Organizations require robust leadership and robust
management for optimal organizational efficiency.
. Are Leaders Born or Acquired?
 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 (Jago, 1982).
This guide will help you through that process. To inspire
your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are
certain things you must be, know, and, do. These do not
come naturally, but are acquired through continual work
and study. Good leaders are continually working and
studying to improve their leadership skills; they are NOT
resting on their laurels.
I. Man
 The world tends to view man in one of two idolatrous ways.
 Materialism sees man as composed of nothing more than material components.
His intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects are nothing but products of
his material nature acting according to the rules of physics and biology.

Implications:
 Man is not responsible for his behavior. The environment is to blame for
unacceptable behavior. (Leads to emphasis on social programs, big government)
 Man is not distinguishable from the other material of creation. Therefore, he has
no dignity or inherent worth. Animals (or even plants) have the same inherent
worth as people.
 Man's identity is not in any way related to God. Therefore, man is in some sense
ultimate, which is idolatrous.
ii. The End and Meaning of Human Life

 Life can be made beautiful or can be simply led. This rests entirely on
the persons’ goals, ambitions, and achievements. The success ratio
and personal response to challenging situations are deciding factors.
Environmental factors, socioeconomic conditions, parental
upbringing, peer group influence also contribute to one's growth and
in making life beautiful and successful.
 The purpose of life is to live and let live. The societal living is
possible when there are communal harmony and feeling of
brotherhood among its members. The institutions of family and
marriage contribute to the harmonious living in a society. Peaceful
coexistence is the key to a successful life.
iii. Duties and Rights of Human

 Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of

race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other
status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom
from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the
right to work and education, and many more.  Everyone is entitled to
these rights, without discrimination.

LEADERSHIP VS MANAGER

A leader is someone who guides and leads other people. He/She gives a proper
direction and purpose, to their efforts by shaping and molding their behavior, to
attain the desired objective. On the other hand, a manager is someone who is
responsible for the management of the organization. He looks after the day-to-
day operations, keeps updated with the changes in the market, encourages
people to work cooperatively, arranges all the resources, etc.

Leadership Styles

EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT LEADER

• Emotional intelligence in leadership is comprised of

empathy, social skills, self-awareness, self-regulation and
motivation.

• These are all teachable soft skills that are the focus of our
online leadership and management courses.
AUTOCRATIC LEADER

• Autocratic leadership, also known as authoritarian leadership, is a leadership

style characterized by individual control over all decisions and little input from
group members.

• Autocratic leaders typically make choices based on their ideas and judgments
and rarely accept advice from followers.

• Autocratic leadership involves absolute, authoritarian control over a group.

• Like other leadership styles, the autocratic style has both some benefits and
some weaknesses.

• While those who rely on this approach to heavily are often seen as bossy or
dictator-like, this level of control can have benefits and be useful in certain
situations.
DEMOCRATIC LEADER

• Democratic leadership, also known as participative leadership or

shared leadership, is a leadership style in which members of the
group take a participative role in the decision-making process.

• This type of leadership can apply to any organization, from private

businesses to schools to the government.

• The democratic leader is also charged with deciding who is in the

group and who gets to contribute to the decisions being made.

• Research has found that the democratic leadership style is one of the
most effective types and leads to higher productivity, better
contributions from group members, and increased group morale.
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER

• Transformational leadership is a leadership style that can inspire

positive changes in those who follow.

• Transformational leaders are generally energetic, enthusiastic, and

passionate.

• Not only are these leaders concerned and involved in the process;
they are also focused on helping every member of the group
succeed as well.
Five Qualities of Effective Leaders

• They are self-aware and prioritize personal development.

• They focus on developing others.

• They encourage strategic thinking, innovation, and action.

• They are ethical and civic-minded.

• They practice effective cross-cultural communication.

• Listening is the most valuable and most neglected skill.

• If you give someone your support, you agree with them, and perhaps try to
help them because you want them to succeed

• It can help you develop great ideas, win trust, keep customers, solve
problems, avoid conflicts, and resolve them when they do come up.

• And giving feedback frequently and promptly is at the heart of good

management.
Empowering Team
Create clear performance goals that drive results. Leaders should understand that
without clear goals, people will become task-oriented rather than results-oriented.
Leaders need to give specific, measurable, and attainable goals to their team that ties
the group into the bigger picture of the organization. These tangible goals should bring
the team together as a more effective and collaborative unit. Remove barriers and
provide resources to ensure progress and productivity. In a business environment that
demands people do more, faster, and with fewer individuals, they may feel overwhelmed
and/or discouraged. Leadership includes making sure the team is set up for success. So
make sure that they have all the resources they need to accomplish their goals.
 This may include removing barriers that hinder progress. Barriers can be as simple as
prioritization of the workload or more complex, such as poorly defined business
processes. It is up to the leader to make sure they are on top of what is needed by the
team to succeed. Ensure success through coaching, delegation, and recognition.
Delegating projects or tasks help them to stay productive when the empowerment to
make decisions is part of that delegation. Keep the team on track by coaching them in
areas where they may need help through questioning. Take the time to recognize both
the small and large accomplishments of individuals and the team. Recognizing their
accomplishments helps them to see that their efforts are appreciated, thus helping to
keep the team engaged.
Interpersonal Skills

Social intelligence is a term used to describe interpersonal abilities.

They depend on reading the signals others send and interpreting
them accurately in order to form a response. Everyone has a unique
personality and social style, yet some are more successful than
others. Interpersonal skills may be improved, even though they are
partly determined by personality and inclination. Interpersonal skills
may be acquired, but they are not something that can be studied
purely from a textbook. Some people are born with them, while
others must work hard to develop them, which is generally done by
constant engagement with others.
Conceptual Skills

Conceptual talents are the qualities that enable a person to better

grasp difficult situations and come up with innovative solutions. These
talents are useful from a management standpoint because persons
who possess them may tackle difficult working problems in a number
of ways. Because of their capacity to think about prospective scenarios
and how to address them, many see leaders with conceptual talents as
strategic leaders. The ability to tackle a topic with a creative and
abstract perspective is highly valued at higher levels of management,
therefore having conceptual talents might be advantageous if you wish
to advance in a management profession.
Technical Skills

Technical skills are those that are useful in the real world and are usually
connected to mechanics, information technology, mathematics, and science.
The phrase can refer to the capacity to complete activities that involve the
use of certain instruments, whether real or intangible, as well as the
technology necessary to master their intended use in a range of situations.
In this aspect, technical skills knowledge is considered practical since it
enables an individual to execute a specific task in a real-world, rather than
theoretical, way.
Tactical Skills

Tactical refers to how a company or manager intends to complete a

task or achieve a specific strategic goal. Tactical thinking and planning
evaluates available resources (time, money, people) as well as
potential risks or problems, and decides the most efficient way to
employ those resources to achieve strategic goals while delivering high-
quality results. Some people use the mnemonic device "strategic is
doing the right things—tactical is doing things right" to remember the
two concepts.
Be-Know-Do Leadership
Philosophy
Loyalty is a devotion and faithfulness to a nation, cause, philosophy,
country, group, or person.
Duty is a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility. It is a task or
action that someone is required to perform.
Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something
elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
Selfless service is a service which is performed without any
expectation of result or award for the person performing it.
Honor is to regard or treat (someone) with admiration and
respect : to regard or treat with honor
Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral

Personal Courage is defined as “the ability to control your fear in a
dangerous or difficult situation” and “to be brave and confident

Leadership Models
01
Structural
Framework
 02
Human Resource
Framework
In an effective leadership, the leader is a catalyst
and servant whose leadership style is support,
advocate, and empowerment. While in an ineffective
leadership situation, the leader is a PUSHOVER,
whose leadership is style is abdication and fraud.
Human Resource leaders believe in people and
communicate that belief; they are visible and
accessible; they empower, increase participation,
support, share information , and move decision
making down into the organization
03
Political
Framework
In an effective leadership situation, the leader is an
advocate, whose leadership style is coalition and building.
While in an ineffective leadership situation, the leader is a
hustler, whose leadership style is manipulation. Political
leaders clarify what they want and what they can get; they
assess the distribution of power and interests; they build
linkages to other stakeholders, use persuasion first, then
use negotiation and coercion only if necessary.
 04
Symbolic
Framework
In an effective leadership situation , the leader is a prophet,
whose leaderships style is inspiration. While in an ineffective
leadership situation, the leader is a fanatic or fool, whose
leadership style is smoke and mirrors. Symbolic leaders view
organizations as a stage or theatre to play certain roles and
give impressions, these leaders use symbols to capture
attention; they try to frame experience by providing plausible
interpretations of experiences; they discover and communicate
as a vision
LEADER INTELLIGENCE

• Intelligence is the ability of the mind to comprehend, use

thought and reasoning for problem solving— the ability to
acquire knowledge and use it practically.

• Intelligence is important, but as a stand-alone tool for

leadership, it lacks penetrating substance.

• There are other ‘intellectual’ factors perhaps more important at

work in a leader’s life.

• I call them The 4 Intelligences of a Leader; they are wisdom,

character, social and spiritual intelligence.

ABUNDANCE MINDSET

• An abundance mindset means to see the limitless potential in life. 

• It means you can see the potential in yourself, and everyone around you.

• As a result, you intentionally drive yourself toward creating the life you
want.
When I think of an abundance mindset, I think of these key traits:

•Thinking big: People with an abundance mindset tend to think big, rather

than limit themselves to a bird’s-eye view of their circumstances.

•Growth mindset: Living in abundance means having a growth mindset

— the belief that you can improve your intelligence and skills with effort,
and you aren’t stuck with what you have.

•Optimism: The “glass half full” type of person, focusing on what they

have, rather than what they lack.

•Knowing there’s enough to go around: Abundance thinking means

seeing a limitless amount of resources such as love, money, and
success. In other words, someone else’s success or advantage does not
take away from your own.
•Generosity of spirit: They feel genuinely happy for other people’s success,
rather than resentful.

•Embracing change: They accept and embrace change, rather than resist.

•Taking action: They take a proactive approach to life, by seizing
opportunities and working toward their goals. 

•Planning ahead: They plan for the future, rather than waiting around for
things to happen. 

•An open mind: A person with an abundance mentality keeps an open mind
and continues to learn, rather than believing they already know it all.

•Know their strengths (and weaknesses): They have 

identified their strengths, then used these qualities to go after what they
want. They accept their shortcomings rather than being limited by them.
