LEADERSHIP QUALITIES

NO ONE IS BORN LEADER

LEADERSHIP
PHENOMENON OF ONE PERSON INFLUENCING THE THINKING OR ACTIONS OR BOTH OF ANOTHER PERSON OR GROUP OF PERSONS.



ALL MANAGERS ARE LEADERS
BUT ALL LEADERS NEED NOT TO BE MANAGERS



Leadership is just one of the many assets a successful manager must possess. Care must be taken in distinguishing between the two concepts. The main aim of a manager is to maximise the output of the organisation through administrative implementation. To achieve this, managers must undertake the following functions:

* organisation
* planning
* staffing
* directing
* controlling

Leadership is just one important component of the directing function. A manager cannot just be a leader, he also needs formal authority to be effective. "For any quality initiative to take hold, senior management must be involved and act as a role model. This involvement cannot be delegated."
