3. Defining Leadership
• Leadership is a process by which a person influences
others to accomplish an objective and directs the
organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and
coherent. Leadership is a process whereby an individual
influences a group of individuals to achieve a common
goal.
• Leaders carry out this process by applying their
leadership knowledge and skills. This is called Process
Leadership. However, we know that we have traits that
can influence our actions. This is called Trait Leadership,
in that it was once common to believe that leaders were
born rather than made.

4. Manager vs. Leader
From good to great
• Good managers see people in terms of their job
description, not their capabilities.
• Great managers understand the unique
contribution of everyone on the team and taps
into those unique talents to achieve the goals.
“Management is doing things right,
Leadership is doing the right things“
-Peter Drucker

5. Boss or Leader?
• Although your position as a manager, supervisor, lead,
etc. gives you the authority to accomplish certain tasks
and objectives in the organization (called Assigned
Leadership), this power does not make you a leader, it
simply makes you the boss.
• Leadership differs in that it makes the followers want to
achieve high goals (called Emergent Leadership), rather
than simply bossing people around. Thus you get
Assigned Leadership by your position and you display
Emergent Leadership by influencing people to do great
things.
