JESUS
 LEARNING
Conditions of Learning
To be successful in guiding subordinates, the leader must
familiarize himself with these learning conditions and strictly
follow them while training his people:
• The Person Must Be Motivated to Learn
• Involve Your Subordinates In The Process
 THE PERSON MUST BE MOTIVATED TO LEARN

You can't teach people who aren't motivated to learn new information or skills.

They must feel compelled to pay attention to what you say.

Many employees are motivated to do good work.

They want to be able to carry out their responsibilities effectively.

Their motivation stems from the desire to be able to do their job in exchange for a
salary, a reward, challenges, job satisfaction, and so on.
 INVOLVE YOUR SUBORDINATES IN THE PROCESS

Keep their attention in the learning process by deliberately engaging their minds
and emotions.

Participate in them to active capability practice, or through conversation. With a

lengthy lecture, you can’t keep their attention.

People normally pay attention for a short period of time (less than 30 minutes).

We need to use what they're told or their minds wander. If you're lecturing for an
hour, there's very little to recall.
• If this is an enormous (large), complicated task, break it down
into short learning steps, give a brief lecture, explain in (15
minutes or less), and then practice them. Provide feedback
throughout the practice session until they can do it themselves.
 WHAT IS POWER?

• The ability to control another's actions so that he or she

behaves according to one's wishes is referred to as power.

• Such power is defined as a capacity or potential that does not

need to be realized to be effective.

• That is, there may be power, but it is not necessary to use it

in order to succeed.
 JOHN FRENCH AND BERTRAM RAVEN SIX POINTS
OF LEADER POWER
1. Coercive Power - The power that is based on fear. A person with coercive power
can make life difficult for humans. These are the people with whom you want to
avoid getting angry. Employees who work for a boss who uses coercion are less
likely to commit and are more likely to resist the manager.

2. Reward Power — The ability to distribute rewards that others find necessary
leads to compliance.

3. Legitimate Power - A person's formal power within an organization's formal

hierarchy due to his or her role. Given his or her status and job responsibilities,
the person has the right to expect you to comply with valid demands.
 JOHN FRENCH AND BERTRAM RAVEN
SIX POINTS OF LEADER POWER
4. Expert Power — influence based on specialized knowledge or skills. Respect is
earned through experience and knowledge. Expert influence is the most firmly and
consistently linked to subordinates' productive output.

5. Referent Power - Persuasion based on an individual's or a desirable individual's

wealth or personal characteristics. This can be interpreted as beauty, elegance, or
appreciation. You admire the individual and want to help him or her somehow.

6. Informational Power — Providing others with information that causes them to think
or act differently.
 SIGNIFICANCE OF SELF-CONTROL IN
LEADERSHIP

• Leaders being influential individuals within the organization

and having the most significant impact on the lives of their
people must learn and exercise self-control.

• Leaders gain people's trust, power, and respect when they

exemplify self-control.
 LEADERSHIP TRAITS
1. INTEGRITY AND HONESTY

How can you expect your followers to be honest if you lack these qualities? Leaders thrive when they stay

true to their core values and beliefs, which is impossible to do without ethics.

2. CONFIDENCE

Your subordinates will never obey you if your decisions and values are uncertain. As a leader, you must

exude (display) confidence and assertiveness to gain your subordinates' respect.

3. INSPIRE OTHERS

When things get tough, they look to you for guidance and see how you handle the situation. When you handle

it well, they will follow you. As a leader, you should think positively, and your actions should reflect that attitude.

You can effectively resolve any obstacle now and in the future, if you succeed in empowering your subordinates.
 LEADERSHIP TRAITS
4. COMMITMENT AND PASSION
The team looks up to you, and if you want them to give it their all, you must be enthusiastic about it.
When your subordinates/team believes you are not fully committed or motivated, motivating your
followers to achieve the goal becomes a difficult task for you as a leader.
5. GOOD COMMUNICATOR
As a leader, you must communicate your vision to your team and plan to achieve the goal; otherwise,
getting the results you want will be difficult. You will never be a good leader if you cannot communicate
your message to your team effectively. Words have the power to motivate people and inspire them to do
the unthinkable. (impossible).
6. DECISION-MAKING CAPABILITIES
A leader must be able to make the right decision at the right time and have a vision for the future.
Before making a decision, a leader should think long and hard about it, but once made, they should stick
to it.
 LEADERSHIP TRAITS
7. ACCOUNTABILITY
Ascertain that each subordinate is accountable for their actions. If
they succeed, congratulate them, but if they fail, they learn from their
mistakes and work together to improve.
8. DELEGATION AND EMPOWERMENT
Empower and delegate your followers' responsibilities. Delegate the
subordinate's responsibilities and monitor their performance. Allow
them to bear responsibility while providing them with all the resources
and support required to meet the goal.
 LEADERSHIP TRAITS
9. CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
In today's fast-paced environment, a leader must be both creative and
innovative to succeed. Creative thinking and relentless creativity help
you and your team stand out from the crowd. Consider coming up with
out-of-the-box ideas and then turning those ideas and goals into reality.
10. EMPATHY
Do not use a dictatorial tone or show a complete lack of empathy.
Knowing and empathizing with your followers' problems is the first
step toward becoming influential leaders.
 LEADERSHIP STYLES
1. TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP

The leader gives his team members instructions and then uses various incentives and punishments
to either appreciate or punish what they do in response. This strategy is strongly disciplinary and is
often referred to as a leadership style of "telling." Leaders praise employees for a job well done or
for completing a department-wide mission that is disliked because they missed a deadline.

2. TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Leaders try to improve or transform the individual or group they lead by empowering their
employees to change. Such leaders constantly strive to improve and find new ways to accomplish
their goals.
 LEADERSHIP STYLES
3. SERVANT LEADERSHIP

Instead of focusing on how to motivate others to follow their lead, servant leaders
focus their efforts on helping others. They prioritize the needs of others over their own.

4. DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

Democratic leaders value and encourage discussion of other people's ideas and
feedback. We do not follow orders from on high; instead, we take a more inclusive
approach. You might be a democratic leader if you believe that the best meetings are
those where everyone has a fair chance to speak up.
 LEADERSHIP STYLES
5. AUTOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

Autocratic leaders believe they have absolute power and make decisions on behalf of their
subordinates. They determine what needs to be done and how certain tasks should be completed. If
you believe that group meetings and brainstorming slow things down, you may be an autocratic
leader.

6. BUREAUCRATIC LEADERSHIP

A person's power is derived from their formal position or title rather than their unique
characteristics or characteristics. They also have a set of responsibilities and established rules and
procedures for dealing with and making decisions for others. They must stick to the path that has
been laid out for them.
 LEADERSHIP STYLES
7. LAISSEZ-FAIRE LEADERSHIP

Then they take a step back and let their team members make decisions, solve
problems, and complete their tasks without worrying about the leader watching
their every move.

8. CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP

Charismatic leaders have charismatic personalities as well as a strong desire

to succeed. Instead of promoting actions through strict instructions, such leaders
use eloquent communication and persuasion to unite a team around a cause.

such as sleep, nutrition, and a genuine relationship with loved ones.

development. The contented and contented leader seeks peace and fulfillment for those he

what is going on in their environment. Workplace efficiency and attitude can be influenced by good
communication between coworkers.
