Leadership is defined
as a process by which a
person influences others to
accomplish an objective and
directs an organization in a
way, that it makes it more
coherent and cohesive.

collaborative leader   A collaboration is a purposeful
                       relationship in which all parties
                       strategically choose to cooperate

Charismatic leader
                                  Weber applies the term charisma to "a
                                  certain quality of an individual
                                  personality, by virtue of which he is set
                                  apart from ordinary men and treated as
                                  endowed with supernatural, superhuman,
                                  or at least specifically exceptional powers
                                  or qualities
                     A charismatic leader is a positive and compelling
                     quality of a person that makes many others want to be
                     led by that person also an important element of
Aung San Suu Kyi's   charismatic leadership involves the attributions made by
                     group members about the characteristic of leader and
                     the results they achieve
A charismatic leader  is proven to be more effective because of
the power he wields as a result of his charm and grace. It is also
easier for him to develop trust among people by ensuring their
involvement in the process of growth and development.

He/She is someone who can clearly visualize the future. Thus,
people almost attribute to him a God-like quality, and generally,
follow him to the last word. The charismatic leader can, thus, also
be described as the visionary leader. The major advantage of this
leadership style is that it can prove excellent to achieve positive
changes and results. On the other hand, it can also be misused for
personal gains.

A charismatic leader is enthusiastic and
committed towards achieving the goal, which
may or may not be clear. Even so, he/she will
readily participate in exploring different
possibilities that will lead to the goal. Even if the
vision is unclear, the direction will always be
clear with a transformational leader. Therefore,
he may be similar to a participative or
democratic leader, who involves his followers in
the decision-making process. He/she will gather
large groups of people through various
ceremonies to pump them up with the same
level of enthusiasm he feels. The most
important characteristic of a transformational
leader is the deep level of commitment he has           source: Tomhaupt.com
toward attaining his goal.

                                     leader is someone who is so
                                     passionate, as to rub off his vision and
                                     passion on his followers. He brings about
                                     positive major changes in an organization
                                     and moves group members beyond
                                     themselves interest for the goal of the
                                     groups, organization and society.

                                      A transformational leader cares about the
                                      growth of his people, and ensures the
                                      same by convincing his people to comply
                                      with his vision.

Transactional leader
A sharp contrast to the charismatic and
transformational leader, the transactional 
leader functions on the simple logic, that
rewards and punishment will stimulate his
people to perform better.

Transactional leadership is a set of leadership
behaviors that emphasizes exchanges or
bargains between manager and follower, and
focuses on how current needs of subordinates
can be fulfilled. Generally, transactional
leadership is the other name for “changes”.
A transactional leader will define clear rules and
framework to function by and will expect his subordinates
to be completely responsible for the work delegated to
them. As such, their performance will determine whether
they will be rewarded or punished.

This kind of leadership is generally followed in large
organizations, and in some ways is an effective tool of
corporate leadership. Here, employees are not involved in
the process of decision-making. They are just means to
the end of goal attainment. The primary advantage of this
method of leadership is the reinforcements used to
promote performance.

What is Servant 
Leadership?
The phrase “Servant Leadership” was
coined by Robert K. Greenleaf in The
Servant as Leader, an essay that he first
published in 1970. In that essay, he
said:

"The servant-leader is servant first.
It begins with the natural feeling that
one wants to serve, to serve first. Source: rbbasinger.wordpress.com
Then conscious choice brings one to
aspire to lead.
What is Servant Leadership?
Stephen Covey
"One of these fundamental, timeless principles
is the idea of Servant Leadership, and will
continue to dramatically increase in its
relevance.

To produce more for less, and with greater
speed than you’ve ever done before. The only
way you can do that in a sustained way is
through the empowerment of people. And the
only way you get empowerment is through
high-trust cultures and through the
empowerment philosophy that turns bosses
                                                 Source:theresurgence.com
into servants and coaches…"
Leadership Styles
Leadership style is the manner and approach of providing
direction, implementing plans, and motivating people. Kurt Lewin
(1939) led a group of researchers to identify different styles of
leadership. This early study has been very influential and
established three major leadership styles. The three major styles
of leadership are:

    Authoritarian or autocratic
    Participative or democratic
    Delegative or Free Reign
Autocratic Leadership Style
                                The autocratic leadership style is
                                best used in situations where
                                control is necessary, often where
                                there is little margin for error.
                                When conditions are dangerous,
                                rigid rules can keep people out of
                                harm’s way. Many times, the
                                subordinate staff is inexperienced

                                and heavy oversight is necessary.
There are 4 components to
                             Transformational Leadership.
                             a. idealized influence (charisma) –
                             setting an example, leading by
                             example
                             b. inspirational motivation –
                             providing a vision to employees
                             (shared values)
d. individualized
                             c. intellectual stimulation – having
consideration – ability to
                             the ability to challenge employees
attend to employee’s
                             and encourage risk-taking
needs, make them feel
appreciated
Democratic or participative leadership style
where the leader offers guidance/coaching
to the team, but also participates in the
group, and promotes feedback from other
members. This style is not inconsistent with
the view of everyone in a group acting as a
leader! The democratic style is also suitable
for the flat organizational structures of
companies today. It allows for dealing with
fast-changing circumstances and an
entrepreneurial spirit needed in an
increasingly competitive world. Speed and
creativity, is needed to win in a competitive
world but accountability and strong fiscal
responsibility are critical and entrepreneurs Source: wildtech.org
understand this better the bureaucrats
Laissez-faire leadership
                      Laissez-faire leadership, also
                      known as delegative leadership,
                      is a type of leadership style in
                      which leaders are hands-off and
                      allow group members to make
                      the decisions. Researchers
                      have found that this is generally
                      the leadership style that leads to
                      the lowest productivity among
                      group members.
Characteristics of Laissez-Faire 
                Leadership
Laissez-faire leadership is characterized
by:

Very little guidance from leaders
Complete freedom for followers to make
decisions
Leaders provide the tools and resources
needed
Group members are expected to solve       Source Cherry,About.com Guide
problems on their own
Although good leaders use all three styles, with one of them normally
dominant, bad leaders tend to stick with one style.

The successful leader must get everyone to share the same specific mindsets. To
improve business performance, five mindsets matter most. They constitute a culture of
high performance or, in our terminology, a performance anatomy.


     Mindset 1: Maintaining the Right Balance Between Market-Making and 
     Disciplined Execution Leadership action: Avoid false trade-offs and commit 
     to a dual focus on the present and the future.

     Mindset 2: Obsessively Identifying and Multiplying Talent
     Leadership Action: Invest a disproportionate amount of time in recruiting 
     and developing people.

     Mindset 3: Using A Selective Scorecard to Measure Business Performance
     Leadership Action: Rely on a simple, memorable way of measuring 
     success and use every occasion to share those success stories 
     throughout the organization.
Mindset 4: Recognizing Technology as a Strategic Asset
Leadership Action: Invest in technologies that will demonstrably lead to 
better business performance.

Mindset 5: Emphasizing Continuous Renewal
Leadership Action: Ensure that the organization understands what to 
preserve from its current ways of doing business and what to jettison.

Those who can manage their workloads and have high cognitive bandwidth are
known as high performers / high performance leaders. Across industries, high
performers use the executive skills they have effectively and dependably.
Different companies measure these high performers in different ways. Some may
identify high performers based on their consistency.

 Others may value those with strong company loyalty, or those who have a broad
set of skills that can be applied to many different types of situations.

Some simply measure high performers based on their position in the company.
Across the board, higher performers tend to have three common executive skills
which they are strongest in: working memory, planning/prioritization, and
organization. These are skills strongly linked with high output.
The process of leadership is carried out by the
attributes the leader possesses such as his beliefs,
values, ethics, character, knowledge, and
skills. Leaders should be highly motivated to inspire
the employees and teams that they lead. Leaders
must be able to dream big and lay down the path with
such clarity that people should follow them through;
the vision should make a compelling case for action
by seeing endless possibilities without boundaries so
that people can be drawn in for the cause.
