 What is leadership?

is the process of influencing others to

behave in preferred ways to accomplish
organizational goals.

is the relationship in which one person

(the leader) influences others to work
together willingly on related tasks to attain
goals desired by the leader and/or group.
 What and who is a leader?
"Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision
that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues,
and taking effective action to realize your own leadership
potential." Warren Bennis

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do

more and become more, you are a leader.
John Quincy Adams

Leadership is the art to of influencing and directing people in such

a way that will win their obedience, confidence, respect and
loyal cooperation in achieving common objectives.
U. S. Air Force
The superior leader gets things done with very
little motion. He imparts instruction not
through many words but through a few deeds.
He keeps informed about everything but
interferes hardly at all. He is a catalyst, and
though things would not get done well if he
weren't there, when they succeed, he takes no
credit. And because he takes no credit, credit
never leaves him.
Lao Tse, Tao Te Ching
Leadership is the capacity and
will to rally men and women to a
common purpose and the
character which inspires
confidence. (British Field Marshall
Bernard Montgomery)
A leader is a person who has
the ability to get others to do what
they dont want to do and like it.
(President Harry Truman)
 Leadership is
influence.
(Fred Smith, an outstanding leader)
 A person may have a
position of leadership, but if
he is not affecting the
thoughts and actions of
others, he is not a leader.
 Leadership Principles:
Leadership is influence.

He who thinks he leads and has no

one following him is only talking a
walk.

The followers of a true leader confirm

his calling. He doesnt have to declare
his calling, others do it for him.
What are the criteria
to become a good
leader?

creativity in solving
problems

 A leader must be consistent
in three areas:

People builds security;

Principles provides
directions;
Projects builds morale.
 The first key to greatness is
to be in reality what we
appear to be. (Socrates)
The moment people learn we are
not dependable or responsible is
the moment they will not
recognize our leadership.

The measure of a leader is not

the number of people who serve
him but the number of people he
serves.
