1.1 Introduction of the Project:
We are living in the worldwide town; each individual is speaking with someone else and taking bunch choices to live. Education is play very important role in global conversation and decision making system. It impact on myriad factors of our life like politics, economy, technology and social system. In the challenging world educators (teachers, lectures and professors) are trying to prepare students locally to become good citizen in that global village. Leadership is at the forefront of education because it helps the leaders to understand the thoughts & actions of others and improve the performance of an individual group and team. “Concept of the leadership is very important is not only our daily life but it also important in any organization because leaders are the ones who make things happen. Without leaders, an organization would find it difficult to get things done”. (Dr. Mukhtar Ahmad, MGMT623, Page.07).

The stated study is basically focused on how the behavior of the leader is changed at workplace. Are workmen measures the behavior and style of a leader? The study will use measures that will question the subordinates about the leader’s behavior towards their colleagues and subordinate. During this project, theoretical knowledge which I have got from books of (MPA – Master in Public Administration) will apply in practical field to find out the results. This research project will help to the management science graduates to understand the importance of the leadership in an organization, group, team and our daily life. It will enhance their knowledge of management science and will help management science graduates to sharpen their leadership skills. And lastly it will help the other researcher how much work is done on the above stated topic, and how much work is pending on same
Every individual has all kind of behaviors. It is up to them to recognize them and utilize properly to flourish them and achieve their goals. A leader must have the knowledge to mobilize all the team members to achieve common organizational goals. Leadership is about a person who aims to lead and one who chooses to follow that leader. (Dr. Abdullah M. Abu-Tineh, 2009).
In developing this paper on leadership, I examined what was most important to me as a leader. As I reflected on my leadership philosophy, I thought about my experiences and the principals that I have learned through my own self-discovery and the observation of other leaders that I have had throughout my life. My leadership philosophy paper will focus on what leadership is to me, core values, and knowledge of others. In thinking about my definition of leadership, I thought of what was most important to me in and as a leader.
By definition, Leadership is “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.” Leadership to some is natural, to others strange and to some a scary or frightening thing. Some would say you are born with it and others say, your experiences make it, but we have found out over time that neither are entirely right or wrong. We have seen leaders of all shapes, sizes, types and styles come before us throughout time.
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Integrity Indistinct definition of integrity is still debatable. The concept of integrity is still not clear though it is being discussed widely (Trevinyo-Rodriguez, 2007; Palanski & Yammarino, 2007). The term of integrity is derived from the Latin term integer which means wholeness and completeness. Integrity is the consistency of an acting entity’s words and actions (Palanski & Yammarino, 2007).
Leadership has been defined in a variety of ways, there are multiple authors and theorists who have tried to define and understand leadership, all leading to varying theories and conclusions, but one thing that is universally understood is the importance of effective leadership and how someone with good leadership skills can impact so many people around them. (Kakabadse and Kakabadse, 1999; Yukl, 2002; Northouse,2013) The main components that have been identified to play a role in leadership are relations between leader and subordinates, interaction form between leader and followers, the influence that the leader has, the way in which the leader behaves and finally a leader’s traits. (Yukl, 2002) These elements that make up a leader, are then used as building blocks to identify the way in which each specific leader deals with its followers.
Leadership Style as Successful Factor in Project Management Introduction Leadership is a process by which one personinfluences the thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors of others. Leaders set a direction for the rest of us; they help us see what lies ahead; they help us visualize what we might achieve; they encourage us and inspire us. Without leadership a group of human beings quickly degenerates into argument and conflict,because we see things in different ways and lean toward different solutions. Leadership helps to point us in the same direction and harness our efforts jointly. Leadership is the process by which one person influences the thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors of others.
In fact, leadership is an art rather than a science. The process of learning leadership is a hand-on experience, which focuses on practice instead of concepts itself. This course provides me a chance to gain more insight about leadership and it helps me develop my new image of leadership. Meanwhile, I also use the theories in our textbook as a framework for self-assessment of my leadership skills and try to develop my own leadership style during the
There are many versions in respect to leadership, and it is often thought that leadership is influencing the followers towards a common shared purpose (Daft,2015, p5). Through class, I have a deep understanding of concepts, models and theory about leadership. The statement of this paper is to explore personal leadership vison and identify two key learnings from class which arise from research perspective on leadership and the personal side of leadership. Personal experience related to leadership is also discussed in this paper before giving a conclusion. Personal Leadership Vison Jim Collins once quoted a very beautiful definition of leadership from Dwight Eisenhower whom referred leadership as “the art of getting people to want to do what
According to our group discussion in term of “leadership” in business world, leadership is not just the person who have the job title or higher range position in an organization but leader is the person who knows the way and ability to demonstrate the possible way to
Different scholars identified various kinds of leadership styles that affect the job performance, satisfaction and learning and development of subordinates. Warrick, D.D (1981) cited that there are no doubt variables other than a leader’s style that affect employee performance and development but leadership style plays a significant role and not to be underestimated. An awareness of leadership styles and their consequences are very important because it may either facilitate or inhabit skill development. The major theories on leadership are the traits, leadership styles and contingency theories.
Leadership is the process of which a leader carries out an action of leading through the act of influencing, commanding and guiding the members of the group or an organization. Initially, there was a misleading assumption that leadership is something someone is born with, an ability that comes naturally to an individual. However, we quickly learn that this is a misconception because leadership skills can be learnt or developed in time. In this class, we have learnt the definition of leadership through the involvement of the processes in leadership, stark comparisons between leaders and a boss, differences between leadership and management and leadership’s key elements. From Chapter 2, we know that Leadership Motive Profile (LMP) is a set
Leadership: Definition Leadership is the process of influencing the motive of the employees and so directing, guiding them to the proper completion of the short-term goals and the mission, vision of the firm. Leadership referring to achieve a specific set of goals of the business enterprise by minimizing risk and more advantage of opportunities is also called Entrepreneurial Leadership (Rao, 2015). Today leadership is such an iterative process when the leaders should have a variety of qualities and expertise in different area of management. Here, different theories will be explained which can clearly identify the scope, the responsibilities and the area of expertise required to be successful leader.
The example of activity utilized by various people decides authority potential and style. In this way behavioral hypothesis concentrate on distinguishing basic behavioral determinant of leadership that can inturn be utilized to prepare individuals to end up great leaders. The behavioral leadership is mostly divided into two types; - Task oriented leadership: in this type of leadership a leader decides the goal and assigns task to the team members in order to achieve the specific goals. This results in high level of productivity and performance.
‘Organizations provide its managers with legitimate authority to lead, but there is no assurance that they will be able to lead effectively’ (Lunenburg, 2011). Organizational success usually requires a combination of both management and leadership. In today’s dynamic work environment, leaders are expected to challenge the present state of affairs, and to motivate and convince organization members. Managers are needed to assist in creating and maintaining a positive and well-functioning workplace. ‘Leadership and management are often considered practically overlapping concepts’ (Bohoris and Vorria, 2007, p. 1).
Introduction The way that many leaders and managers in the workplace lead their employees or staff can affect the daily running of the organisation. It is important to stress and distinguish the different roles that leaders and managers play in a structured organisation. According to Sharma and Jain (2013:309), these two roles work well together and should not be separated. The main role of a leader is to motivate and inspire while the manager is responsible for co-ordinating, planning and organising (Sharma and Jain, 2013:209).
