"Leaders
are best when people scarcely know they exist
Not so good when people obey and acclaim them
Worst when people despise them.
Fail to honour people, they fail to honour you.
But of good leaders, who talk little,
when their work is done, task fulfilled,
people will say: "We have done this ourselves!"
Are you
a manager, a leader or both?
If management
is about getting things done, then leadership is about getting
others to do things.
We know
that great leaders an motivate whole populations, armies or companies.
How do
they do it?
How could
you achieve more through others?
Leadership
Increasingly,
the modern world requires leadership, rather than (just) management.
The world is changing too quickly for us to rely on employees
doing what they are told or following procedures. There may be
nobody around to tell them what to do and the procedures may be
out of date. Indeed, the particular circumstances might never
have arisen before.
So we need
leaders who can create a context in which they
can empower their staff to make their own 'intelligent'
decisions. Management skills of leaders now include coaching,
mentoring, delegation, appraisal.
Leadership
takes a higher form, including setting the vision, mission and
values of an organisation. Leadership is about culture
as well as inspiration.
