9th, Organisational Leadership

1. leadership is a very complex phenomenon, that is why we turn to confuse it with management, however through this lesson the presenter managed to demonstrate different aspects of leadership in very simple and practical manner. I know that rather than say he is a born leader, I would say he was born with qualities that attracted people’s attention, because of those qualities people trusted and respected him, without considering the skills he possesses.

Leadership styles varies from situation to situation, normally early stage of organisation would be autocratic style (Telling), from 6-20 years persuasive style (Selling), 25-45 years consultative style (Consulting) and 45-60 years democratic (Joining) often we thought the style is related by a leader’s personality. As South Africans we should shape our leadership around the concept of Ubuntu as this defines us as nation. It is important to realise that at times it is required that one put on a leadership cap, that is where he pay attention to new trends, and craft visions.

They lead by principles rather than policies. In case where he puts on a management cap, then operation process have to be actioned in order to achieve the organization goals as prescribed by the strategic plan. I have mastered the art of coaching and mentoring and I am going to practice at my workplace. Self awareness is important in ones career and personal growth. It is crucial that Human capital is maximized.
