leader who usually provides the direction
toward goal attainment.

capability should be valuable in improving
group performance.

achievement of goals.”

16. Concept of Leader 360

17. Self-Leadership
"Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching."
George Van Valkenburg
• Self-leadership is an extensive set of strategies focused on the
behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that you use to exert influence over yourself.
• To lead yourself, create an inspiring vision and set goals for your
life. Visualize a life that is exactly as you want it. When you see your goal in
your mind, you engage the power of your subconscious mind that will help you
build winning habits and bring your dream to life.
• Now, take initiative and start moving towards your goals. Challenge
assumptions, champion change, take risk and experiment. And remember, there
is no failure, only feedback. Ask learning SWOT questions and restart
wiser. Fail small to succeed big.
• Be a lifelong learner, and be passionate about it. If you stop learning, you stop
creating history and become history.

18. Top-Down Leadership
"Leaders don't create followers. They create more leaders."
Tom Peters
• Be a super leader – lead by example and help your people
develop into leaders themselves.
• Empower, inspire and energize them. Be a coach for your
people.
• Don't assume you
all team members.

• Ask questions and solicit suggestions. Be empathic and
compassionate, and people will choose you to lead them.

19. Lateral Leadership
"You don't need all the glory. If you let others take the credit, it makes
them feel like they're part of something special."
Ralph Roberts
• How to get things done when you are not the boss and telling others
what to do is ineffective?
• Lead laterally, help people around you achieve more and shine.
• Invite colleagues to work with you
creatively, and achieve a common goal.
to
solve
problems
• "Don't try to provide a solution to every problem. They key is to
improve the process of working together. Start the habit of everyone
working to improve collaborative methods. Solutions are not the
answer. The answer is a better process for finding solutions."

20. Leading-Up
"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want
done because he wants to do it."
Dwight D.
• Leading-up is about leading your boss, helping your supervisor to see the
right goal and find the right path before too late.
• Once your boss knows that you bring judgment and get results, the way is
clear for you to lead your boss. But your boss must want it and you must
be able to deliver it.
• Above all, upward leadership requires the conscious subordination of
personal gain to organizational purpose. Leading the boss is therefore
about helping the organization to achieve its mission regardless of the
personal costs or benefits.

21. Leading-Up
• Upward leadership requires a driving urge to make things happen on
high, an unflinching willingness to take charge when not fully in
command."
• "When a subordinate does lead up, it requires equal courage for the boss to
listen down, especially in cultures that traditionally eschew voices from
below.
• A culture that encourages upward leadership is built, not born. For
that, senior managers must regularly insist that their junior staff question
strategy and challenge error.
• Asking those of lesser rank to say what they candidly think and
complimenting them for doing so are small measures that can make for
big improvements."
