Document Summary
Ol140 midterm lessons 1-6 m/c & short answer. Leaders are present in all types of organizations and their decisions affect our daily lives. In organizations and professional associations, leaders make decisions on whether or not to hire additional employees, invest in new technology, sponsor community initiatives, expand facilities and so on. In community groups, leaders must learn how to inspire volunteers to share a vision, and motivate volunteers through shared values. In sports, leaders must make player decisions, build teams, and inspire players in good timesand through losses. In politics, leaders make decisions that affect local, provincial, or national policies, economies, and citizens. Early views on leadership focused on the view that the person at the top of the organizational chart was the leader and everyone else followed (more or less!). In recent years, this perspective on leadership has changed.
