Leadership

Can every leader be a manager? I would rather say NO, not all managers are leaders or all leaders are managers.Leadership is just another pillar of management.(04 pillars of management:: Planning, Organizing, Leading, Controlling)

Leader is not an instructor but the one who creates an enthusiasm or the feeling of necessity and likeness towards the goal.

Leadership is:

• Inspiring
• Influencing
• Instructing

Leadership can be either Corporate Leadership or General Leadership.

General Leadership:

General leadership is not about positions it is all about the dedication and the actions.General leader do not have to hold a designation but a person with the ability to drive the team towards a goal.

Either Corporate or General a leader is a dreamer.She/He make it a reality by working towards it.

Three Types of Leaders:

• Grumpy Leaders
• Good Leaders
• Great Leaders

Corporate Leadership:

Triple Mastery of Leaders:

• People mastery
• Task mastery
• Context mastery

People mastery is the ability to talk to people and influence them.The ability of  talking to peoples heart and influencing them is a great quality which a leader must acquire. 

Task mastery is acquiring the technical skills needed to a manager.

Context mastery is the knowledge about the culture and the traditions.

Remember employees do not leave the company but the boss.So a leader needs to acquire both artistic and scientific.A leader must be inspiring, caring and trust worthy.In the same place a leader must be controlling and instructive.

Leader can be 

1. Trait
2. Behavioral
3. Integrative
4. Contingency 

1% of the leaders are trait(born) and 99% of the leaders are behavioral (made).Integrative means a leaver can be born and further made as well.Also a leader can be generated based on the situation.

A transactional  leader gets the work done but a Transformational leader empower the followers.So even at the absence of the leader the followers behave active.

So my dear friends be a great leader.Do not instruct your team but empower them by your behavior and inspiring words.
