I. THE MEANING OF LEADERSHIP

To be a leader, one has to make a difference and facilitate positive changes. Leaders inspire and stimulate others to achieve worthwhile goals. A useful definition of leadership is the ability to inspire confidence and support among the people who are needed to achieve organizational goals. Leadership is needed at all levels in the organization. Emergent leaders are group members who significantly influence other group members even though they have not been assigned formal authority.

• Leadership as Shared Responsibility and Collaboration

The leadership role within a team is seldom the responsibility of one person. Rather, several individuals within the team may serve as leaders, both by formal assignment and informally. Leadership may shift depending on whose expertise is the most relevant at the moment. Participants in a study who experienced shared leadership showed good performance on the simulated decision-making tasks and also high job satisfaction. A key force driving collaborative leadership is the hyperconnected organizational world fostered by email and social media, along with globalization.

• Leadership as a Relationship

Leadership is a relationship between the leader and the people being lead.According to a theoretical analysis, leadership is not a trait or behavior of an individual, but a phenomenon generated in the interactions among people in a given setting. The given setting refers to the context of a on the relationship, such as one characterized by high power and authority.The internet, with its emphasis on interacting with people electronically, has changed slightly how leaders build relationships. As pointed out by Steve Jobs, among others, technology should not block people from face-to-face interactions.

• Leadership Versus Management

Leadership is but one of the four major functions of management (planning, organizing, controlling, and leading). Leadership deals with change, inspiration, motivation, and influence. In contrast, management deals more with maintaining equilibrium and the status quo. An interview-based study found that leaders and managers have a different focus on the same set of activities. For example, managers delegate to increase efficiency, whereas leaders delegate for empowerment.
