LEADERSHIP
Leadership is defined as the process in which an individual influences the group
of individuals to attain a common goal. The goal is attained by mutual cooperation
and cohesive behavior. A leader infuses a sense of positivity and directs others to
reach the specified goal.
Leadership according to me would only be a term if there are no followers and a
common goal.
Leadership is gained only when a person is able to influence a group of people to
follow him towards a common goal. It has also been noticed that only those
persons are considered as good leaders who have gained the trust and confidence
of their subordinates. Communication plays a vital role in this regard. The other
thing that people respect is knowledge.
Leadership is deliberately causing people-driven action in a planned fashion for
the purpose of accomplishing the leaders agenda. Leadership means that a leader
is selecting people carefully and steering them in his direction. Leadership is a
clear agenda, a persona philosophy, enduring relationships, and worldliness.
A power and value laden relationship between leaders and followers who intend
real changes that reflect their mutual purposes and goals
All forms of leadership must use power. However, power needs not be coercive,
dictatorial or punitive to be affective. Instead, power can also be used in a noncoercive manner to orchestrate, mobilize, direct and guide members of an
institution or organization in the pursuit of a goal or series of objectives.
Leadership is a process of influence which involves an ongoing transaction
between a leader and followers. Leadership, however, does not exclusively reside
in the leader. Rather it is a dynamic relationship between leaders and followers
alike. Leadership is always plural; it always occurs within the context of others.
The important requirement of the leadership process is for leaders to remember the
followers to pursuit their mutual purposes and goals. Through education and
training, leaders must serve as effective teachers or mentors to make their
followers co-responsible in the pursuit of their mutual purposes and goals.
