Minnesota Grand Lodge Presents: Leadership From Within

This document discusses leadership and defines the characteristics and functions of a leader. It identifies integrity, commitment, courage, communication, inspiration, compassion, loyalty, and trust as key characteristics of a leader. Leaders are distinguished from managers in that leaders innovate, focus on people, and have a long term vision, while managers administer, focus on procedures, and have a short term view. The fundamental functions of a leader are to focus efforts on the future and prepare for tomorrow by thinking and planning. When leading volunteers, a leader must listen, build a team, plan, communicate, motivate, and manage, while keeping in mind the volunteers. Leadership styles like dictators and loners are less productive than charismatic styles.
