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.
Self-Improvement
"There is no real excellence in all this
world which can be separated from right living."
– David Starr Jordan
Learn
to juggle your work and family. Even if you are
in a very hard-hitting, high-powered position in
your business, you do not have to sacrifice your
family. Take self-care measures and get creative
about integrating your work and family life so
you can be a successful leader and fulfill
personal obligations.
Love
is
defined as one's behavior towards others.
It has many meanings. It can mean an intense
feeling of affection, an emotion or emotional
state. Love can be interpersonal or impersonal.
Interpersonal love is love between human beings,
and is more sympathetic than the notion of very
much liking for another. A person can be said to
love a
home, country,
a principle, goal, job, or hobby if they
value it greatly and are deeply committed to it.
People can also 'love' material objects,
animals, or activities if they invest themselves
in bonding their identity with that item.
Strategic Management
Enterprise strategy can be formulated and implemented at three different levels – corporate, business unit, and functional or departmental level. At the corporate level, you are responsible for creating value through your businesses. You do so by managing your portfolio of businesses, ensuring that your businesses are successful over the long term, developing business units, and sometimes ensuring that each business is compatible with others in your portfolio. Products and services are developed by business units. The role of the corporation is to manage its business units, products and services so that each is competitive and so that each contributes to corporate purposes. Corporate Strategy fundamentally is concerned with selection of businesses in which your company should compete and with development and coordination of that portfolio of businesses. Corporate level strategy is concerned with reach; competitive contact; managing activities and business interrelationships; and management practices. Business Strategy includes battle plans and tactics to fight your competition. A strategic business unit may be any profit center that can be planned independently from the other business units of your corporation. At the business unit level, the strategic issues are about both practical coordination of operating units and about developing and sustaining a competitive advantage for the products and services that are produced. Business strategy deals with positioning and differentiating the business and/or products against rivals; cross-functional process management; anticipating changes in technology and customer perceptions and adjusting the strategy to accommodate them; influencing the nature of competition through strategic and political actions; and building strategic partnerships and co-innovating with other business units, partners, and customers. Functional Strategy deals with operational methods related to functional business processes and value chain, and value adding activities that you choose for your business. Functional level strategies in R&D, operations, manufacturing, marketing, finance, and human resources involve the development and coordination of resources through which business unit level strategies can be executed effectively and efficiently. Business Development
The primary goal of any business is to increase stakeholder value. It is achieved through a dynamic balancing of competing values. In order for a business to maximize economic value, it must balance customer satisfaction and competitive market forces with internal cost and growth consideration.
A business is more than finance. Organizations prosper by achieving strategy that is implemented as a result of continuous decision-making at all levels of the business. Performance measures need to be aligned with the organization's strategy. The Business Systems approach considers business as system of interrelated factors of strategy, owners, investors, management, workers, finance, processes, products, suppliers, customers, and competitors.
