Leadership RYB

Leadership involves influencing others to achieve a common goal through relationship building and effective communication. It is a complex process that depends on four primary factors: the leader, the followers, the situation, and communication. The leader must understand their own strengths and weaknesses while adapting their style to motivate followers and address the needs of different situations. Effective leadership also requires two-way communication to maintain good relationships and coordinate group efforts.

and then lets them go. And it’s not always about a

more of a human endeavor.
Four Primary
Factors
of Leadership
The Leader

The Followers

The Situation

The Communication
The Leader
 must have an honest understanding of who he is,

what he knows, and what he can do

 must know his personal strengths and weaknesses,

capabilities and limitations 

 needs to be able to discipline himself in order to lead his team effectively

 acknowledges that he is never alone


it is the followers, not the
leader or someone else who
determines if the leader is
successful
it is the followers, not the
leader
If they oror someone
do not trust lack confidence inelse who
their leader, then they
determines
will be if thetheleader
uninspired. To be successful leader has toisconvince

successful
his followers, not himself or his superiors, that he is worthy of
being followed.
The Followers
 Sometimes called, “the led”

  the led are the people the leader is trying to bring

together as a team

 the led are the people that the leader is ultimately

responsible for
The Followers
The group is defined by having three things in
common:

 A common goal (shared pool of meaning)

 Interdependence in achieving that goal; that is, they all need one another for success

 Knowing and acting as if they have a common goal; that is, consciously responding to
their interdependence.
The Situation

 All situations are different

 Leadership actions that work in one situation may not

necessarily work in another


 Leader must use his judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style

needed for each situation


Also note that the situation normally
has a greater effect on a leader's
action than his or her traits.
Also note that
the situation normally
This is because while traits may have an impressive has
stabilityaover a period
of time, theygreater effectacross
have little consistency on situations
a leader's(Mischel, 1968). Thus,

action than his or her traits.


the actions of the leader or the way he handles a situation matters more than
his traits.
The Communication
 Communication is the exchange of information and

ideas from one person to another

 Effective communication occurs when others understand

exactly what you are trying to tell them

 Different situations call for different types of communication. The leader’s tone of voice,

choice of words and physical actions combine to affect those the leader leads.
The Communication

 Communication maintains good relationship between

leader and followers as well as shows the leader

efficiency

You lead through two-way communication:

 Verbal

 Non-verbal
Two-ways to communicate
Verbal Non-verbal
 Through the use of mouth  Through written outputs, texts,
chats, or actions
