Being a leader is more than giving orders. In this project my team had to design a presentation around the differences between leaders and managers, cultural diversity and what it means to be a true leader.
This presentation was a fun learning experience as we expanded horizons and tried some different ideas in our presentation design and delivery.
What makes a competency model better than its competitor? In other words, is there a better approach to accelerating leadership development? The answer is simple: Only a model that combines a well-developed 360-degree competency assessment and delivers access to deep structure.

Leadership Development: A Process of Un-doing UnderstandingEric Kaufman
As Extension professionals, we are called to promote and support the leadership necessary for a wide variety of education programs. There is no shortage of books on leadership, but it can be difficult to discern the practical guidance appropriate for the context and stakeholders of Extension. Within this webinar, we revisit conventional leadership concepts and frame them in light of new insights. As a result of the webinar, participants will be able to identify resources that can be used to guide distributed and networked approaches to leadership.
The Leadership Challenge is known as one of the most valid and famous leadership models. In this presentation I went through the following topics:
- Why leadership matters?
- Leadership development levels
- Who is a leader?
- What is TLC?
- Who is a exemplary leader?
- 30 expected leader's behaviors

Autocratic Leadership and Qualities of a Good Leader
Introduction
Maintain your relevance and stay adaptable in today's time in an ever-changing environment? Become a better leader by learning how to efficiently adapt to change yourself accordingly. Adoption is the most important key to success in entrepreneurships.
Big changes of adoption happened in the past in the smartphone industry. Before Android started in smartphones, at that time it was the most popular Nokia brand. But when the Android operating system started in the smartphones officially. The key decision in Android history was Google's commitment to make Android an open-source operating system. That allowed it to become highly popular with third-party phone makers. Just a few years after the launch of Android 1.0, smartphones powered by the new OS were everywhere.
Autocratic Leadership and Democratic Leadership aren't good for a company, in leadership a person's combination of both in great leadership. Qualities of a Good Leader, that makes a person Good leader in entrepreneurship.
Leadership is not just about achieving company goals, and making the company profitable and focusing on business stability. In a business, leaders who are the main key person who decides the company or organizational future and contribute to achieving company goals and visions. How much a company will become successful totally depends on a business leader, who leads the company commands.
Leadership responsibility, solving the huge problems and focusing on solutions. Those are mainly focused on problem solving approaches. And a solution oriented person in a company. That person takes the responsibility of a company. Regarding company growth, company profitability, company stability.
In today's society we need to require a different set of skills than it did in the past. It's undeniable that social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok have dominated and changed the way we compete in the business landscape. With a sea of competitors, it now matters how we present ourselves online and how we create experiences that are attractive to our clients and customers.
Although some leadership skills, qualities and leadership habits remain the same, refusing to adapt to the current norm will make it difficult for a leader to stay in the game. Most challenging: how do we adapt to change in this fast-paced digital world? But how do we keep up and stay relevant as a leader?
The following ten statements show how Mercuri Urval defines, conceptualises and
understands leadership. We do not pretend to know all the answers to questions
about leadership. But we do have clear convictions based on our extensive experience
and research…

Leadership Defined
Guiding a group of people towards a common goal or task
“Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal” (Northouse, 2016).
Upon completion of the task or goal things have changed or improved… ideally for the better
Leaders must motivate followers to accomplish goals; which will improve performance and satisfaction (Northouse, 2016).
Question 1a: How do you define leadership?
3
Effective Leadership
The goal or task doesn’t necessarily need to be successful for an effective leader to be successful
Effective leadership does not require successful goal achievement. Process complexity, event uncertainty, and testing can cause failure regardless of effective leadership (Edmondson, 2011).
Learn from failure to identify mistakes and become a stronger, more unified team
It is important to clearly communicate the vision, goal, or cause being worked toward and create a culture that fosters a sense of belonging, value, mutual trust, and respect (Fostering Leadership, 2013).
Question 1b: What makes one an effective leader?
4
Management vs. Leadership
Management:
Setting the expectations, providing the team with polices, tools, and the roadmap to accomplish the goal
Managers focus on things like “planning, budgeting, organizing, staffing, controlling, and problem solving” (Kotter, 2013).
Leadership:
Motivating the team to follow the road map and accomplish the goal
Leaders focus on creating and communicating vision, motivating and inspiring others to work toward that vision, and guiding others through change (Zaleznik, 2004).
Question 2: Do you make a distinction between management and leadership? If so, what is it?
5
Followership
Be respectful of the team and the leader
Followership includes serving “as team players who take satisfaction in helping to further a cause, an idea, a product, a service, or, more rarely, a person” (Kelley, 1988).
Provide input and feedback both positive and negative to the team
Effective followers are often “no” people and suggest alternative ways to do things (Fostering Leadership, 2013).
Pay attention and stay focused on the goal or task
Leaders cultivate effective followers by training followers to think critically, act independently, and build credibility. (Kelley, 1988)
Question 3: What do you think is the role of the follower?

Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy built on the belief that the primary purpose of leaders is to focus on the growth, needs, and the well-being of the team instead of his / her own personal success.
Kobe Bryant as an example of servant leadership:
Kobe put his best interest to other people by making sure that they all go far together. He once said, “ The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.”
Kobe will do anything to make sure that their team is winning even by not playing in the fields. “I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench, waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting a game-winning shot”(Hays & Prosser, 2020)
Servant Leadership
Characteristic Traits:
Stewardship
Empower team to achieve goals as a team. Help managing, strategizing, and planning for the team / organization as a whole
Committed to other people’s growth
Leader help other people to achieve their goals and develop their potential and skills to the maximum ability
Building community
Leaders create a safe space for people to connect as they work together to achieve a common goal
“Tequila-Fueled” Leadership?
Characteristic Traits:
Visionary
"The '90s and early 2000s were the 'I' decade - iPhone, the iPod. The next decade is the 'We' decade. If you look closely, we're already in a revolution" (Wiedeman, 2020).
Positive, upbeat and energetic
"Entitled, frat-boy culture," toxic work environment, where dance parties were more common than meetings (Bates, 2020).
The “smartest guy” in the team
"Feeling threatened or intimidated at the prospect of leading someone smarter" (Pierce, 2020).

Laws of Leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 2017):
If you don’t believe in the messenger, you won’t believe in the message.

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.
