Defining Leadership

Leadership is the discipline of deliberatelyexerting special influence within a group to move

it toward goals of beneficial permanencethat fulfill the group’s real needs. (John E Haggai)

GOALSETTING AND LEADERSHIP

A leader must have a vision.That vision must be fulfilled by goals that

work toward the achievement of the vision.

A vision is the foundation of all leadership

Goalsetting and Commitment

A leader’s vision requires a commitment to actThat commitment is called a mission

A leader without goals is like a platoon captain without a compass.

Effective Goalsetting

To be effective a leader must constantly sharpen the focus of his/her vision.

The clearer the leader’s goals, the sharper his/her focus

“Determine what you want more than anything else in life, write down the means by which you intend to attain it,

and permit nothing to deter you from pursuing it.”

Henry Kaiser

GOAL CONFLICTS

Often 2 desirable goals will come into conflictExamples

How do we determine which one is the most important?

A vision is the foundation of all leadershipA leader’s vision requires a commitment to act

which is called a mission

Vision and Mission

Both are put in into practice with a set of specific goals

Goalsetting is an ongoing discipline.You cannot do it once and ignore it

Today’s world demands nothing less than a clearly defined goals program
