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

How do we determine which one is the most important?

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