Effective Leadership
I've been thinking a lot about leadership lately and how it can have both positive and negative effects on an organization. While searching the web for viewpoints I found this page titled Effective Leadership that I think does a good job of summarizing some key points.
Leadership Defined
"Leadership is influencing people to get things done to a standard and quality above their norm. And doing it willingly."
As an element in social interaction, leadership is a complex activity involving:
1. a process of influence
2. actors who are both leaders and followers
3. a range of possible outcomes - the achievement of goals, but also the commitment of individuals to such goals, the enhancement of group cohesion and the reinforcement of change of organizational culture.
