Management
It is all about numbers, profit,
shareholder value
People have a sense that they
work for a company that
doesn’t care about them

creating long term success.

all stakeholders including
employees of the
organization.
People go home with a sense
of fulfillment.
It improves quality, cut lead
time in reduced inventory and
everything financially.
 Self Leadership
“The happiness of your life depends on the
quality of your thoughts. So act virtuous, use
your time well, and be cheerful. Then, when

ripe fruit.” (Marcus Aurelius)
Great leadership starts with self-leadership.

Theories
of
Leadership
 Early Theories
Great Man Theory
• Leaders are exceptional people, born with innate qualities,
destined to lead.
Trait Theory
• It was believed that through this theory critical leadership
traits could be isolated and that people with such traits could
then be installed on leadership position.
Limitations of Trait Theory
• The trait theory is hard to measure. For example, how do we
measure honesty or integrity?
• There is a disagreement over which traits are the most
important for an effective leadership.
 Theory X vs Theory Y
Theory X
• Theory X is the
assumption that people
dislike work and fail to take
responsibility therefore
Theory X managers have a
difficult time trusting
employees
Theory Y
• Theory Y is the
assumption that people are
self-motivated and thrive
on responsibility therefore
Theory y Managers trust
employees
