OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION


Leadership is the ability to guide, direct or influence people.

A leader is someone who guides or directs others towards a purposeful destination.

Management is “a process which brings together resources and unites them to collectively achieve objectives in the most efficient possible manner.”

INTRODUCTION


THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A LEADERi. Leadership is the responsibility of

releasing others into their own responsibilities.

ii. One becomes a leader when he understands why he is in an organization.

iii. A leader has the responsibility to harness and develop inherent values in the subordinates rather than suppressing or oppressing such values.


THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A LEADER

iv. Leadership is probably about knowing where you are going and asking others to follow you.

v. Its is a leader’s responsibility to transform a vision into a reality.

vi. Good leaders have to identify their vision, write them down and make it clear to the followers.


THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A LEADER

iv. A leader must dream and visualize the future for the next years.

v. A good leader does not end at dreaming but also converts his dreams into Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic and Time bound goals and further converts the goals into stepwise tasks.


Self-discovery:i. If a leader has never discovered

who he is, then his leadership will probably be centered on opinions and “copy work”. Your leadership should be unique.

Self-discovery is a prerequisite for either accepting, refusing leadership tasks or embarking on specific leadership skill developments.

THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A LEADER


Self-development/Capacity Building: A leader cannot go faster than the

information he carries. Self-development is finding your gift and developing the gift.

Unnecessary competition, conflicts and envy in leadership is probably because leaders have not yet developed or identified their competencies.

A good leader will not boarder when others are excelling because he knows his competency and destination.



Some questions to answer prior to assuming leadership responsibilities include;i. What does my presence

represent in this institution?ii. What can I do and who is

following me?iii. What can I do for the next

generation to continue?



i. Nepotism and gerontocracy are threads in leadership “who can do a task” and not “who should do a task” is the language of good leadership.

ii. Time is like a rushing river and a leader is like a compass directing the allocation of time and resources.

“once the compass is pointing to the north, others will easily know the

direction of the south”.

NOTIONS IN LEADERSHIP


iv. A good leader lives a selective life, leaders are not called to be everywhere, but are called to coordinate and delegate responsibilities.

v. A good leader maximizes the perspectives of subordinates but not necessarily their permission to execute the rightful tasks.



iv. Things that look big today will become very small tomorrow, being current is the currency in leadership, “quality attracts quantity”.

v. A written vision helps the leader to focus his energy; there are times, a leader will confess “it is well” even in tears, times when there is no fruit on the tree, a good vision gives hope for the tomorrow.



THE IMPORTANCE OF A VISION IN LEADERSHIP

i. The opinion of subordinates may be like an ocean where there is barely a place to put the foot but once a leader has a Vision, he will have a direction and will hardly lose his way.

ii. People may laugh at a vision and make fun of it but a good vision speaks, nothing is an excuse, vision does not respect color or personality.


THE IMPORTANCE OF A VISION IN LEADERSHIP

iii. When leaders meet challenges, Vision enables them to soar toward the sun even when the clouds overshadow, vision creates the energy necessary for the destination.

iv. Vision is a cord of unity that binds people together for achievement, it provides explanations for actions and decisions taken in an organization.


CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD VISIONA good vision is challenging because it is the answer that befits poverty


ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADER

i. A leader is possessed by his visions and is not afraid of confrontations.

ii. A good leader identifies and addresses his mistakes before that’s of others, he addresses his failures allowing others to see their wounds.

iii. Good leaders are quick to appreciate, praise and encourage even the little achievements of others.



iv. True leaders are interested are genuinely interested in other people especially their fundamental challenges and achievements.

v. Leaders handle both praises and critics with equal grace.


ATTRIBUTES OF A LEADERvi. Leaders do that which is right and

not things that are popular.

vii. A leader lives on his edge; every time he is thinking and looking forward for alternatives to the present principles and procedures.

viii. True leaders are equally followers “those who want to learn must learn to follow”



vii. Good leaders are persons of honesty, there is probably no other time that a leader can be honest than when he is leading the subordinates.

viii. A leader is someone people will naturally want to be around him, true leaders take the group from where it is to where it is supposed t be.


CONCLUSION

A herd of sheep led by a lion will surely succeed but a herd of lions led by a sheep will surely fail.
