Concept

Of
Leadership
 “Leadership is not about
titles, positions or flowcharts.
It's about one life influencing
another.”
– John C. Maxwell
Leadership is a process by which a
person influences others to
accomplish an objective and
directs the organization in a way
that makes it more cohesive and
coherent.
 Leadership is learned and can be
influenced by person's attributes
or traits, such as beliefs, values,
ethics, and character.
Knowledge and skills contribute
directly to the process of
leadership, while the other
attributes give the leader certain
characteristics that make him or
her unique.
 Factors
Of
Leadership
1. As a Leader

You must have an honest understanding

of who you are, what you know, and what
you can do. If they do not trust or lack
confidence in their leader, then they will
be uninspired. To be successful you have
to convince your followers, not yourself or
your superiors, that you are worthy of
being followed.
 2.As a Follower

You must know your people! The

fundamental starting point is having a
good understanding of human nature,
such as needs, emotions, and
motivation.
3.Communication

You lead through two-way

communication. Much of it is
nonverbal. What and how you
communicate either builds or harms
the relationship between you and your
followers.
4.Situation
All situations are different. What you
do in one situation will not always
work in another. You must use your
judgment to decide the best course of
action and the leadership style needed
for each situation.
