Document Summary
Leadership is the ability to influence people in a group toward achieving a vision or set of goals. Not all leaders are managers, and not all managers are leaders. Just because an organization gives formal rights to its managers, it doesn"t mean that they will effectively lead their teams. Leaders can come from a group or by formal appointment. Non-sanctioned leadership is the ability to influence that comes outside of the organization"s formal structure. This is important and can be seen as something that"s even more important than formal influence. Organizations need to have strong leadership and strong management for the most effectiveness. Inspire members of an organization to achieve these visions. Leadership plays a crucial role in how people understand the behavior of the group. This is because the leader is the person who directs other people to their goals. Understanding what makes a good leader is a valuable tool to improve the performance of your group.
