    LEADERSHIP AND
    HUMAN RIGHTS
    Definition of Leadership

    Task:
    Individually complete the phrase
    “Leadership is ……..”
    Leadership Styles
    Autocratic leadership.
    •Bureaucratic leadership.
    •Charismatic leadership.

    What good Leaders
    should do-Attributes of Leadership
    Excellence
    • Leaders need to act as if they are in control,
    project confidence, and talk about the
    future, even while recognizing and
    acknowledging the organizational realities
    and their own limitations.
    • Because leaders succumb to the same self-
    enhancement tendencies as everyone else,
    magnified by the adulation they receive,
    they have a tendency to lose their
    behavioral inhibitions and behave in
    destructive ways. They need to avoid this
    trap and maintain an attitude of wisdom and
    a healthy dose of modesty.
    • Because the desirability of exercising total
    control is itself a half-truth, effective
    leaders must learn when and how to get out
    of the way and let others make
    contributions. Sometimes the best
    leadership is no leadership at all.

    • Leaders often have the most positive


    impact when they help build systems where
    the actions of a few powerful and
    magnificently skilled people matter least.
    Perhaps the best way to view leadership is
    as the task of architecting organizational
    systems, teams, and cultures—as
    establishing the conditions and
    preconditions for others to succeed."
    What Leaders should avoid:

    Leaders should not say ‘ it can’t be


    done.’
    Leaders should never focus on the past.
    Leaders should try not to resist change.
    Leaders should never belittle their
    workers.
    Leaders never assign blame.
    Leaders never tell people what to do.
    Leaders never talk when they could be
    listening.
    Leaders never fight.
    • BE...
    A professional-A professional who
    possesses good character traits.
    • KNOW...
    Yourself-Human nature-Your job-
    Your organization.
    • DO...
    Provide direction-Implement-
    Motivate.
    All great leaders have some aspects of
    their personalities in common.
    Outstanding leaders share seven
    qualities:
    • Great leaders identify, cultivate, and inspire
    enthusiastic followers
    • Great leaders focus their efforts
    • Great leaders face and overcome great
    difficulties
    • Great leaders expect more from themselves
    than they do from others
    • Great leaders are not afraid to make tough
    decisions
    • Great leaders have a vision and utmost faith
    in themselves to fulfill that vision
    • Great leaders are ambitious for themselves,
    their companies, and their people
    The 6 C's of Leadership:
    • Courage. Great leaders take risks. That takes
    planning and discipline, to be sure, but most
    of all it takes courage

    • Creativity. Great leaders embrace


    imagination. They foster innovation. Do it
    with economic logic and operational
    discipline, yes, but do it with creativity
    • Compassion and Caring. Caring deeply about
    what you’re doing, about the welfare of your
    people and customers, and about doing things
    with a strong moral fiber. Great leaders have
    emotional and ethical as well as intellectual
    integrity. They love, and they love ethically.
    • Curiosity. Great leaders come to the party
    with a sense of wonder and awe. They
    restlessly and repeatedly ask questions
    like-- What’s out there? (let's check it out!)
    What’s behind there? What’s underneath
    there? What if? Why not? When can we try
    it? What will happen? What did happen?
    What did we learn? What’s our next step?

    • Consistency. The issue of consistency is


    essential for effective branding and
    sustained competitive success. Great
    leaders create an environment where C’s
    #1-5 aren’t a one-shot flash-in-the-pan deal,
    but so steady and ingrained that people
    inside and outside the organization can
    count on them.

    Boss versus Leader
    • The boss commands subordinates;
    the leader encourages them.
    • The boss depends on fear;
    the leader depends on employees’
    desire to do a good job
    • The boss finds ways to assign blame
    for problems;
    the leader finds ways to fix problems
    • The boss tells people what to do;
    the leader explains desired results-
    then gets out of the way
    • The boss wants you to be grateful you
