Document Summary
Leadership: the process of inspiring others to work hard to accomplish important tasks. Expectations for success on the first attempt. Taking a long-term view while meeting short-term demands. Leading viewed in relationship to the other management functions. Power: ability to get someone else to do something you want done or make things happen the way you want. Power should be used to influence and control others for the common good rather seeking to exercise control for personal satisfaction. Acts in a unilateral command-and-control fashion keeps authority and information within the leader"s tight control. Laissez-faire style: shows little concern for task lets the group make decisions. Acts with do the best you can and don"t bother me attitude. Good leadership depends on a match between leadership and situational demands. Determining leadership style: low lpc task-motivated leaders, high lpc relationship-motivated leaders. Leadership is part of one"s personality, and therefore relatively enduring and difficult to change.
