2. What is Leadership
According to FORBES,
A process of social influence, which maximises the efforts of others towards the
achievement of the common goal.
It is nothing to do with seniority of position in the hierarchy
It does not require a title or higher position.
"The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers.”
--Peter Drucker

3. LEADERSHIP STYLES
Autocratic, Authoritarian, Coercive, or Commanding
Autocratic leaders make decisions without seeking input from anyone who
reports to them, or anyone at all, usually. Team members are not consulted
prior to direction and are expected to fall in line with the leader’s
expectations. Also known as Authoritarian, Coercive, or Commanding, this
leadership style is rarely effective and can lead to low job satisfaction and
poor morale.
Affiliative
Affiliative leaders strive to create emotional bonds with their team members
and direct reports. Leaders who utilize this style put people before profit and
believe the team always comes first. This style is focused on building trust
within the team and fostering a sense of belonging to the organization.

4. Bureaucratic
Bureaucratic leaders tend to follow a textbook template as to how a leader should act, and are generally risk
averse. While they may differ from autocratic leaders by seeking input from others, they are biased toward
upholding company policy or past practice
Coaching
A coaching leader is one who spends a great deal of time and energy on identifying and nurturing the individual
strengths of each member of their team. They will take the time to cultivate deep connections with direct reports
to gain a thorough understanding of each team member’s hopes, beliefs, dreams and values. The coaching
leadership style is similar to democratic and affiliative leadership, but coaching leaders place more emphasis on
the growth and success of individual employees.
Democratic, Facilitative, or Participative
Similar to the affiliative leadership style, a leader who employs the democratic leadership style places a high
value on the knowledge, skills, and diversity of their team.
Laissez-Faire or Delegative
Laissez-faire leadership is the least intrusive leadership style. It can result in an empowered group of employees, but can also
limit their development.

5. Emergent
Emergent leadership is a type of leadership in which a team member is not appointed or elected to a leadership
role. Instead, their leadership develops over time as a result of the team’s interaction. An emergent leader needs
to rely on influence rather than authority
Pacesetting
A pacesetting leader is one who leads by example. They set high standards for themselves in the hope that others will follow
suit. A team comprised of self-motivated, high-performers who value continuous improvement will thrive under the direction
of a pacesetting leader. Like autocratic leadership, pacesetting leaders are most commonly found in the military – but the
pacesetting leadership style is much more effective
Servant
A servant leader is focused primarily on the well-being of people and the communities to which they belong. Servant leaders
share authority, put the needs of others first, and help people realize their full potential. They are concerned more with the
well-being of the societies in which they operate than their own functional responsibilities.
Strategic
Strategic leaders sit at the intersection between “keeping the lights on” – managing a company’s day-to-day operations – and
capitalizing on its growth opportunities

6. Transactional
Transactional leaders are only concerned with the work their employees do. Common among sales teams, a transactional leader will often set a
sales target and reward the individuals who reach it with a bonus.
Transformational
Transformational leaders are focused on continuous improvement. They constantly push their team outside of their comfort zone and
implement stretch goals. This style is often associated with charismatic leadership, a leadership style rooted in the charm and persuasiveness of
the leader.
Visionary
Organizations that want to build a culture of innovation are best served by tapping the talents of visionary leadership. Visionary leaders are
natural born problem solvers and rely on abstract thinking to visualize possibilities that most are unable to see. These “big picture” thinkers can
not only see what’s possible, but they can also effectively articulate it to their team. Steve Jobs is an example of a visionary leader: passionate,
open-minded, and creative, he was most effective at inspiring forward momentum and creating a culture of innovation during his two stints at
Apple.

7. STRATEGIC PLANNING
Strategic planning is a process in which an organization's leaders define their vision
