“If your actions inspire others

to dream more, learn more,

do more, and become

more, you are a leader”

- John Quincy Adams

Leadership is the influencing process of leaders and followers to achieve organizational objectives through

change

Workforce Management

Management is more than getting work done

through people. It is developing people

through work. If you want to improve your

workforce management, then you need to

improve the way you lead people.

Leadership 

"Leadership is constantly changing, and survivors learn to change with it."

"Yesterday, natural resources defined power. Today, knowledge is power. Yesterday, leaders commanded and controlled. Today, leaders empower and coach. Yesterday, leaders were warriors. Today, they are facilitators. Yesterday, leaders directed. Today, leaders delegate.

Dr. Denis Waitley The Toastmaster, 2011

““ The process of influencing others to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the process

of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objectives” (Yuk, 2006).

Leadership occurs…. anywhere

Successful leaders are said to be able to adapt their leadership style to

meet subordinates’ needs and particular

situation (Davenport,1998).

Effective leaders should establish relationships with all members, not just a few special individuals.

Leader relationships are not limited to employees, but include customers, suppliers, and other relevant stakeholders in the broader community.

• Why leaders vary their behavior with different followers?
