Leadership is one of the most discussed topics in the sphere of management. Few leaders, however, speak of this subject because they are busy with their primary business of managing people.

Leadership, however, is a knowing how things should be and how to help people realize their talents and capabilities to make them a reality.

Work experience shows that few organizations tend to their workers potential. The main reason lies within old-fashioned methods of management; fear and an unwillingness to stimulate leaders. This is related to leadership myths around this notion.

Five Leadership Myths

A myth is an idea, which is false but considered to be true. Unfortunately, leadership myths explicated below oftentimes do not help good managers show themselves.

Leadership Myth №1: Leadership is a rare gift that few have.

Many believe that leaders are born, not made. They believe that people are born as leaders and one cannot learn leadership. It is not like that. It is possible after all to learn leadership.

Many people have potential to become good leaders and managers. Just like the majority of other skills, leadership skills require time, training and correction of mistakes to master. [Read more…] about 5 Leadership Myths – Do You Have One of These Beliefs?

Leadership Styles: What Style Do You Follow?

By Brandon W. Jones on July 18, 2014 0

This is a guest post by Alice Morey. She is a professor majoring in finance field. She teaches finance and economics courses at University of East London, UK. She also writes, blogs and is a regular contributor to youth and leadership programs. In addition to her teaching and writing, she is a seasonal writer at “Courseworkhome” to assist students in their academic coursework.

Leadership can be reflected as a method whereby one influences the others. In the course of business, leaders show multiple leadership styles depending on the situation they are experiencing.

Leadership Styles

It is argued that leaders have both authority (the right to influence) and power (the ability to work). One without the other is never suitable.

Leadership Styles: What Style Do You Follow?

Authority develops from an individual’s position in an organizational structure, authority limits and the operation of the law. While, power can arise from the following sources;

  • Rational-legal: the manager may exercise his/her power because of the title “senior manager” and individuals below him are supposed to carry out his instructions.
  • Charismatic: where the person has great charm and force or personality.
  • Reward power: where the promise of pay increases or promotions are used.
  • Knowledge: where withholding and releasing knowledge selectively utilizes power.
  • Coercion: through physical power, this is seldom to be seen in modern organizations.

Characteristics Of Leadership Excellence

Leadership Excellence – Part 1 of 2

Does “leadership excellence” have a specific meaning to you?  What do you think of when you hear the phrase “leadership excellence?” When I hear the phrase “leadership excellence,” I think of leaders that have obtained the highest level of leadership in whatever they are doing. These leaders have strong values and characteristics that add value to their organization.

Characteristics Of Leadership Excellence

Characteristics of Leadership Excellence

Three characteristics found in leaders with leadership excellence are vision, charisma, and innovation.

Vision

Leaders that have obtained leadership excellence have a vision.  Their vision is a clear image of the future they see for themselves and those they lead. They have a strong set of both short and long-term goals and their vision inspires those around them.

So how do you become a leader with a vision? Start by setting goals. Be sure that those around you know your goals. Make goals that require you to stretch beyond your comfort zone using SMART goals. As others begin to know of your goals they will be inspired to set their own goals.  By having your own vision of the future, you allow others to have a vision.
