capacity can only be built”……

3. LEADERSHIP
Leadership is the “art of leading others
to deliberately create a result that
wouldn’t have happened otherwise.”
The Characteristics of a Good Leader
• Self-Awareness
• Self-Direction
• Vision
• Ability to Motivate
• Social Awareness.

4. LEADERSHIP STYLES
• Authentic leadership
• Cognitive leadership
• Cross-cultural leadership
• Shared leadership

5. AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP
A pattern of transparent and ethical leader behaviour that encourages
openness in sharing information needed to make decisions while
accepting followers inputs.

6. SO, HOW DOES AUTHENTICITY
SUPPORT A BUSINESS
• When people feel free to be who and what they are both privately and
publicly they have more energy to create and innovate.
• Authentic workers are more likely to bring their whole selves to the
job, engage with the company’s goals and participate fully in the
mission of the enterprise.
• These same employees also recognize and are attracted to authentic
leaders, and follow them with greater dedication leading to stronger
teams and enhanced business performance.

7. COGNITIVE LEADERSHIP
A broad range of approaches to leadership emphasizing how leaders
and followers think and process information.

8. COGNITIVE LEADERSHIP IMPACT ON
BUSINESS
The theory of cognitive leadership conceives a number of personal
characteristics to be important for an cognitive leader in an attempt to
exert cognitive leadership which includes,
• Eloquence
• Persuasiveness
• Patience
• Persistence
• Capacity for gaining sympathy
• Confidence
• Communicativeness and
• Appreciativeness.

9. CROSS CULTURAL LEADERSHIP
• Cross-cultural Leadership attempts to understand how individuals of
different cultures interact with each other.
• Along these lines, cross-cultural leadership has developed as a way
to understand leaders who work in the newly globalized market.
• Today’s international organizations require leaders who can adjust to
different environments quickly and work with partners and employees
of other cultures.

10. CROSS CULTURAL LEADERSHIP IMPACT
ON BUSINESS
• Cultural differences among project team members may create an
additional misunderstanding throughout the project life cycle.
• The impact of cultural factors such as language barriers, religious
diversity time differences, socio-economic, political, and may result in
a normative pattern prescribing a range of permissible actions so as to
encourage self-interest.
• Motivating project team members may encounter significant barriers
in multi-cultural project communications.
• To achieve project goals and avoid potential risks, project managers
should be culturally sensitive and promote creativity and motivation
through flexible leadership.

11. SHARED LEADERSHIP
• Shared leadership is leadership that is broadly distributed, such that
people within a team and organization lead each other.
• In other words "leadership that emanates from members of teams, and
not simply from the appointed leader.

12. SHARED LEADERSHIP IMPACT ON
BUSINESS
• Shared leadership between two leaders, one task-oriented and the
other behaviour-oriented, would result in greater success than
leadership by one person alone.
• Reduced stress levels for key leaders also make this model attractive,
as a more robust, shared leadership system does not unduly burden
any single leader .
• Further more, shared leadership as it exploits the wealth of talent
present in an organization, capturing “energy and enthusiasm” thereby
creating a distinct competitive advantage.
• Flow and creativity seem to flourish in a shared leadership
environment Moreover, teams often work better when leadership is
shared.

13. CONCLUSION
• A leader may be of various types but a true and competent leader is
one that encompass all the aforesaid qualities.
• It is essential for a great leader to be dynamic and constantly evolving
so that he/she may lead the team in the most apt and beneficial
manner.
• Having a wide knowledge and diverse background will not only help
make well informed decisions but also increase the level of
compassion.
• The perfect leader is one who has a blend of all the characteristics and
can call upon his attributes to meet the necessary situation at hand.
