Document Summary
The influence that particular individuals exert on the goal achievement of others in an organizational context. How do you shift people: move or manage to get daily tasks done, inspire people to do the extraordinary to innovate and go outside the box. Formal legitimacy and role/position: recognize by title, expected to influence people, assigned to lead. Informal no legitimate title, positive power always and critical knowledge and experience: seemingly lower level participant, rely on being liked, based on charisma, skills and expertise. Leaders versus managers: the role of the leader and the role of the manager are not the same, all leaders have managerial capabilities. Transformational vs transactional: transformational leadership that provides followers with a new vision that instills true commitment, constantly strengthening autonomy and giving opportunities. Charisma: transactional leadership that is based on a straightforward exchange relationship between leaders and followers, striving for common visions.
