A glance at the shelves in your local bookstore will quickly confirm that “leadership” is one of the most popular topics in the field of management. The consensus is that leaders become great by bringing out the best in the people who follow them. As the late Grace Hopper, management expert and the first female admiral in the United States Navy, once said: “You manage things; you lead people.”1 Leadership scholar and consultant Barry Posner believes, “The present moment is the domain of managers. The future is the domain of leaders.”2 Consultant and author Tom Peters claims the leader is “rarely—possibly never?—the best performer.”3 All seem to agree that leaders thrive through and from the successes of others.
Although the leadership message seems clear, the task of leading isn’t easy. Managers and team leaders often face daunting responsibilities. Resources can be scarce and performance expectations high. Time frames for getting things accomplished can be short, while problems to be resolved are complex, ambiguous, and multidimensional.4 It takes high self-awareness and hard work to be a great leader. There are many challenges to be mastered on the pathways toward leadership success at work, in our communities, and at home with families and loved ones. This chapter offers an opportunity to find out more about the leader who resi ...

Reading Assignment: Leadership
Unit Lesson
In the world of public management, there is a need to maintain a high level of performance. Performance in the public eye can be described as the display of competence, the demonstration of leadership, display of flexibility, and the ability to work in a team atmosphere. The actual performance, concerning management within an organization, begins with leadership. What is a leader? How does one define a leader? The abridged definition of a leader is considered to be someone within an organization who is able to get people/employees to do things they have never done before, perform outside of their daily routines, and be able to take some risks for the common good of the organization or the community.
Good leadership begins with the exercising of authority, whether it is formal or informal, in directing and coordinating the work of others, or by using a combination of formal and informal authority together for positive social change and progression. There is a distinct difference between leadership and management. Management involves power and formal authority given to a person in a high-ranking position within the organization for the responsibility and accountability using the organizational resources. On the other hand, leadership is based on the type of charisma that is exercised by the person. Leadership involves the relationship between people and communities in which influence and power are evenly distributed.
There are a few essential functions of leaders stemming from a system of communication, promoting and securing essential support functions, and being able to define the true purpose and the goals of an organization. The true definition of a leader will arise when traits are identified such as intelligence, dependability, energy, excitement, and socioeconomic status. Although these are not tangible items that leaders possess, they serve as a foundation for those willing to follow the leader. There are different kinds of leadership styles that are employed in organizations: authoritarian, transformational, transactional, and Laissez-faire. Depending on the type of person, the characteristics the person possesses, and how the organization functions, there will be a different style or approach to managing personnel and employees. The authoritarian leadership is one that dictates all the rules, regulations, and happenings inside of the organization, while also indicating to the subordinates all orders are to be carried out and moved forward for processing. In this type of leadership there is no room for discussion or rebellion against the leader.
A transactional leader is one who has a vision and mission upon taking over the reins within the organization. The transactional leadership approach assumes that leaders could be tr ...
Power refers to the capacity to influence others. So where does it come from? Have you ever wondered why some managers seem like natural leaders? Or perhaps you are interested in what power you hold over others? View this quick course on the five sources identified by John French and Bertram H. Raven.

Leadership
1. Define leadership and explain its importance for organizations.
There is probably no topic more important to business success today than leadership. Leadership occurs between people, involves the use of influence, and is used to attain goals. Influence means that the relationship among people is not passive. A definition of leadership is the ability to influence people toward the attainment of goals. This definition captures the idea that leaders are involved with other people in the achievement of goals. Leadership is dynamic and involves the use of power. Power is the potential ability to influence the behavior of others. Power represents the resources with which a leader effects changes in employee behavior.
2. Describe how leadership is changing in today’s organizations, including Level 5 leadership, servant leadership, and authentic leadership.
The turbulence and uncertainty of the environment in which most organizations are operating has significantly influenced leadership styles in recent years. Ethical and economic difficulties, corporate governance concerns, globalization, changes in technology, new ways of working, shifting employee expectations, and significant social transitions have contributed to a shift in how we think about and practice leadership.
A key characteristic of Level 5 leaders is an almost complete lack of ego, coupled with a fierce resolve to do what is best for the organization. In contrast to the view of great leaders as larger-than-life personalities with strong egos and big ambitions, Level 5 leaders often seem shy and unpretentious. Although they accept full responsibility for mistakes, poor results, or failures, Level 5 leaders give credit for successes to other people.
The concept of servant leadership, first described by Robert Greenleaf, is leadership upside down, because leaders transcend self-interest to serve others and the organization. Servant leaders operate on two levels: for the fulfillment of their subordinates’ goals and needs and for the realization of the larger purpose or mission of their organization. Servant leaders give things away—power, ideas, information, recognition, credit for accomplishments, even money. Servant leaders truly value other people. They are trustworthy and they trust others. They encourage participation, share power, enhance others’ self-worth, and unleash people’s creativity, full commitment, and natural impulse to learn and contribute. Servant leaders can bring their followers’ higher motives to the work and connect their hearts to the organizational mission and goals.
· Authentic leadership refers to individuals who know and understand themselves, who espouse and act consistently with higher-order ethical values, and who empower and inspire others with their openness and authenticity.
· Authentic leaders pursue their purpose with passion. When leaders demonstrate a high level of passion and commitment to purpose, they inspire commitme ...
3. Peter Northouse
Box 1.1 In Northouse book explains the evolution of
leadership.
Leadership is a process whereby an individual
influences a group of individuals to achieve a
common goal.
Assigned vs. emergent leadership- some people are
leaders because they are assigned the job of
leading. Others are leaders because of the way
members respond to them.
4. Formal Power
Coercive
Coercive power is conveyed through fear of losing one’s job, being demoted,
receiving a poor performance review, having prime projects taken away, etc.
This power is gotten through threatening others. For example, the VP of Sales
who threatens sales folks to meet their goals or get replaced.
5. Reward
Reward power is conveyed through rewarding individuals for
compliance with one’s wishes. This may be done through
giving bonuses, raises, a promotion, extra time off from work,
etc. For example, the supervisor who provides employees
comp time when they meet an objective she sets for a
project.
6. Legitimate
Legitimate power comes from having a position of power in
an organization, such as being the boss or a key member of a
leadership team. This power comes when employees in the
organization recognize the authority of the individual. For
example, the CEO who determines the overall direction of
the company and the resource needs of the company.
7. Personal Power
Expert
Expert power comes from one’s experiences, skills or knowledge. As
we gain experience in particular areas, and become thought leaders
in those areas, we begin to gather expert power that can be utilized
to get others to help us meet our goals. For example, the Project
Manager who is an expert at solving particularly challenging
problems to ensure a project stays on track.
8. Referent
Referent power comes from being trusted and
respected. We can gain referent power when others trust
what we do and respect us for how we handle situations. For
example, the Human Resource Associate who is known for
ensuring employees are treated fairly and coming to the
rescue of those who are not.
