Leave your comment on the 10 commandments. Do you think some commandments are left out? Is there any commandment that shouldn't be on the list? Have your say:
Leadership as a subject: Remember they're not electing you dictator for life
- All Leadership is temporary
- Situational leadership
- Transitional leadership
- Hierarchical leadership
The knowledge of craft and processes does little to help in the day-to-day relationship with teams and clients. That's because the actual practical skills are just part of the game: there are competences that go beyond that: soft skills, sensibility, empathy, relational abilities, proactivity, etc. All of these are rarely highlighted or taught, and even less often they are used in specific tasks such as team growth or hiring.
The Hybrid Traits is an effective model to frame these additional skills, allowing us to focus on them and embed them in our professional life. It's not easy however, because everything starts from the individual's desire to practice introspection.

Why choose the topic of Lousy Leaders? Most of us say that we want to follow the Great Leaders, that we struggle to find Great Leaders with character, who care about people and their organizations. However, we say that those who are most prominent are the leaders who only support themselves and want to satiate hidden desires of power, acquisition, recognition, and accolades for themselves. One of the problems with Lousy Leaders is how they acquire their positions! Maybe accepting Lousy Leaders is part of a new standard in our new society. Society appears to support or create a level of leadership acceptance. Chosen leaders seem to replicate and be predicated on our society. Based on this idea, we are a society in turmoil and one of divisiveness. Do you think Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt or Churchill would thrive in this society? Do we, in actuality, support Great Leadership whose proponents exhibit visionary competence, integrity, morality, inclusive growth and development of followers, fairness, and humanistic care of others? Or, do we support the acceptance of political pandering and the desire to have some kind of tribal loyalty, even if it is to a Lousy Leader? In this age of emotional isolation brought about by over-reliance on devices, belonging to something, anything, gives people a group identity, the “us versus them” ideology.

5.1. INTRODUCTION
People are the most important resource in an organization. To achieve organizational objectives HR should be directed towards the accomplishment of goals. Hence, the successful achievement of organizational objectives is greatly the manifestation of the managers’ ability to lead employees.
5.2. MEANING AND NATURE OF DIRECTION
Direction is a vital managerial function, performed by every manager. Whenever decision is taken, it must be converted into action by proper implementation. Otherwise, it is of no use. Effective implementation of a decision is made possible by directions. Planning, organizing and staffing are concerned only with the preparation for work performance and it is the direction which stimulates the organization and its staff to execute the plans. Hence, it is also called ‘management-in-action’. Every manager gives direction to his subordinates as superior and receives directions as subordinate from his superior.
Different authors define leading in different ways, but the general ideas of each definition give the same messages. Therefore, directing is simply defined as;
The process of influencing people so that they will contribute to the organization & group goals or actuating organizational members to work efficiently & effectively for the attainment of organizational goals /objectives. Influencing means motivating people to contribute their maximum efforts for the achievement of organizational goals; but it does not to mean coercing/ forcing, imposing sanctions or pushing people at the behind.
A function of management which is related with instructing, guiding and inspiring human factor in the organization to achieve organizational mission and objectives.
According to Koontz and O’Donnel, “Direction is a complex function that includes all those activities which are designed to encourage subordinates to work effectively and efficiently in both the short and long term”.
Directing is the process of integrating the people with the organization, so as to obtain their willingness and enthusiastic co-operation for the achievement of its goals. It requires the integration of organizational & individual goals. It is the heart of managerial functions because it involves initiating actions.
5.3. ELEMENTS OF DIRECTING
Employees as individual or group members, contribute their efforts & abilities to achieve organizational goals which can result in advancement towards their own individual or group goals. Managers to direct individuals require three basic elements. They are
1. Leadership
2. Motivation &
3. Communication

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
