Leadership
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else
to do something you want done because he wants
to do it." – Dwight D. Eisenhower
Leadership is the process of directing the
behavior of others toward the accomplishment of
some common objectives. It is influencing people
to get things done
–
willingly!
–
to a standard and quality above their norm to
achieve a shared stretch goal.
As an
element in social interaction, leadership is a
complex activity involving a process of
influence; actors who are both leaders and
followers, and 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.
1.
The easy answer: leadership is getting
people to do things they have never thought of
doing, do not believe are possible or that they
do not want to do.
2.
The leadership in organizations answer:
leadership is the action of committing employees
to contribute their best to the purpose of the
organization.
3.
The complex (and more accurate) answer:
you only know leadership by its consequences –
from the fact that individuals or a group of
people start to behave in a particular way as
result of the actions of someone else.
Leadership is imperative for molding a group of
people into a team, shaping them into a force
that serves as a competitive business advantage.
Leaders know how to make people function in a
collaborative fashion, and how to motivate them
to excel their performance. Leaders also know
how to balance
the individual team member's quest with
the goal of producing synergy - an outcome that
exceeds the sum of individual inputs. Leaders
require that their team members forego the quest
for personal best in concert with the team
effort.
Super-leaders help each of their follower to
develop into an effective self-leader by
providing them with the behavioral and cognitive
skills necessary to exercise self-leadership.
Super-leaders establish values, model,
encourage, reward, and in many other ways foster
self-leadership in individuals, teams, and wider
organizational cultures.
Business Development
The Key Secret to Success in Business. And failure. Why do some businesses succeed and some fail under exactly the same circumstances and in exactly the same business? The difference is their point of view about what a business is, and what one isn’t. The difference is that successful business owners were all entrepreneurs, and that the vast majority of the people who go into business aren’t.
Business Processes, Business Process Management
Michael Hammer defines business process as "an organized group of related activities that together create a result of value to customers.“ Each word in this definition is important: ØA process is a group of activities, not just one. Value is created not by single activities, but by the entire process in which all these tasks merge in a systematic way for a clear purpose. ØActivities are related and organized. They present a stream of relevant, interconnected activities that must be performed in the right way to produce the desired outcome. ØAll the activities in the process work together toward a common goal. People must all be aligned around a single purpose, instead of focusing on their individual tasks in isolation. ØProcess are not ends in themselves. They have a purpose, they create and deliver results that customers care about. |
