Leaders within organizations develop the tone and direction of the organization, make key decisions, and create strategic plans. Success or failure largely is based upon these factors. The better you can work with people, the more successful you will be in both your p ersonal and your professional lives. A. Are Leaders Born or Made? You may think this is a tr ick question, because most researchers say the answer is both. Effective leaders are not simply born or made, they are born with some leadership ability and develop it. WORK APPLICATION 1 -1 Do you believe that you are a born leader? Do you believe that you can develop your leadership skills to improve job performance ? B. Why Leadership Is Important? This section lists some reasons why leadership is so important . C. Why Study Leadership? The study of leadership applies directly to your professional live. If you are a manager, or want to be a manager someday, the need for good leadership skills is self -evident. Even if you are not interested in being a manager, you still need leadership ski lls to succeed in today ’s workplace. The old workplace, in which managers simply told employees what to do is gone. Today, employees want to be involved in management, and organizations expect employees to work in teams and share in decision -making and other management tasks. The study of leadership also applies to your personal life. You communicate with and interact with people every day; you make personal plans and decisions, set goals, prioritize what you will do, and get others to do things for you. D. The Need for Self -Assessment in Leadership Development ―Know thyself ‖ or self -awareness has been called the leadership first commandment, so the first step to leadership development is self -awareness of leadership competencies. To provide you with leadership self -awareness, every chapter has self -assessment exercises. Let us start now to better understand your Leadership Potential by completing Self -Assessment 1.1. Self-Assessment 1.1 (online only) Leadership Potential If you want students to compl ete the Self -Assessment exercises, you may want to tell students and spend a little time talking about them. E. From the Management to the Leadership Paradigm Leadership is just one of the function of a managers ’ jobs, and employees can have more influenc e over others than the manager. There is overlap between the two —a successful organization needs both managers and leaders. 1. From Autocratic to Participative Management There has been a shift from autocratic to participative management. Going from the management to the leadership paradigm is a shift from the older autocratic management style to the newer participative leadership style of management. 2. From the Shareholder to the Stakeholder View There has been a shift from only focusing on profits for th e owners to focusing on creating a win-win situation for all stakeholders affected by manager ’s decisions. 3. From the Self -Serving to the Servant Leadership View There has been a shift from employees serving managers to managers helping employees meet the objectives and tasks.
