Leadership in the Global Era
Leadership vs Management
A leader has two main roles:
Leadership is Influence (John Maxwell) - It's about influencing others, not forcing them.
Before Becoming a Leader, Success is About Growing Yourself. After Becoming a Leader, Success is About Growing Others (Jack Welch).
Techniques for Developing Team Potential by Leaders:
1. Change - Leaders must be able to lead change.
2. Dreams - Leaders must build and communicate their dreams to the team. Dreams are built from two elements: passion and experience.
3. Empowerment - Leaders must empower their teams.
4. Modeling - Leaders must lead by example through their actions.
5. Love - Leaders must love their teams to maintain loyalty and work spirit.
