Presentation Overview
A Leadership Story
 A group of workers and their leaders are set a task of clearing
a road through a dense jungle on a remote island to get to the
coast where an estuary provides a perfect sit for a port.
 The leaders organise the labour into efficient units and
monitor the distribution and use of capital assets – progress is
excellent. The leaders continue to monitor and evaluate progress,
making adjustments along the way to ensure the progress is
maintained and efficiency increased wherever possible.
 Then, one day amidst all the hustle and bustle and activity, one
person climbs up a nearby tree. The person surveys the scene
from the top of the tree.

A Leadership Story (contd.)
And shouts down to the assembled group below…
“Wrong Way!”
(Story adapted from Stephen Covey (2004) “The Seven
Habits of Highly Effective People”).
“Management is doing things right, leadership is doing
the right things”
(Warren Bennis and Peter Drucker)

Leadership:Definitions
The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers.To
gain followers requires influence , but doesn't exclude the lack of
integrity in achieving this. Indeed, it can be argued that several of
the world's greatest leaders have lacked integrity and have adopted
values that would not be shared by many people today.
Peter F. Drucker, Management Guru
10
Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less. This moves
beyond the position defining the leader, to looking at the ability of
the leader to influence others - both those who would consider
themselves followers, and those outside that circle. Indirectly, it
also builds in leadership character, since without maintaining
integrity and trustworthiness, the capability to influence will
disappear.
John C.Maxwell,(born 1947) Renowned ‘Leadership’ writer
Leadership:Definitions
Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that
is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking
effective action to realize your own leadership potential.
Warren Bennis, Noted ‘Leadership’ Thinker
11
A true leader would like to leave behind a legacy of that he
made a difference that he improved the quality of life of the
people whom he served and that there was nothing that he did
which was in a manner speaking for himself,”
Ratan Tata, Chairman, Tata Group
Leadership:Definitions
We’ve got 25,000 people at Apple. About 10,000 of them are in
the stores. And my job is to work with sort of the top 100 people,
that’s what I do. That doesn’t mean they’re all vice presidents.
Some of them are just key individual contributors. So when a good
idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just
see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue
with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100
people, get different people together to explore different aspects
of it quietly, and, you know – just explore things.”
Late Steve Jobs on on his role as leader at Apple

*US 2008 Crisis: Lack of Leadership?
Mckinsey Survey of Corporate Leaders-2009
Why Leadership is important?
History has been crafted by leaders
The Progress of Human Development is a treatise on outstanding
leaders – with diverse motives & styles who created a remarkable
impact through their foresight, courage, charisma and influence.

A Leadership Story  A group of workers and their leaders are set a task of clearing a road through a dense jungle on a remote island to get to the coast where an estuary provides a perfect sit for a port.  The leaders organise the labour into efficient units and monitor the distribution and use of capital assets – progress is excellent. The leaders continue to monitor and evaluate progress, making adjustments along the way to ensure the progress is maintained and efficiency increased wherever possible.  Then, one day amidst all the hustle and bustle and activity, one person climbs up a nearby tree. The person surveys the scene from the top of the tree. 8

  • 10. Leadership:Definitions The only definition of a leader is someone who has followers.To gain followers requires influence , but doesn't exclude the lack of integrity in achieving this. Indeed, it can be argued that several of the world's greatest leaders have lacked integrity and have adopted values that would not be shared by many people today. Peter F. Drucker, Management Guru 10 Leadership is influence - nothing more, nothing less. This moves beyond the position defining the leader, to looking at the ability of the leader to influence others - both those who would consider themselves followers, and those outside that circle. Indirectly, it also builds in leadership character, since without maintaining integrity and trustworthiness, the capability to influence will disappear. John C.Maxwell,(born 1947) Renowned ‘Leadership’ writer
  • 11. Leadership:Definitions Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential. Warren Bennis, Noted ‘Leadership’ Thinker 11 A true leader would like to leave behind a legacy of that he made a difference that he improved the quality of life of the people whom he served and that there was nothing that he did which was in a manner speaking for himself,” Ratan Tata, Chairman, Tata Group
  • 12. Leadership:Definitions We’ve got 25,000 people at Apple. About 10,000 of them are in the stores. And my job is to work with sort of the top 100 people, that’s what I do. That doesn’t mean they’re all vice presidents. Some of them are just key individual contributors. So when a good idea comes, you know, part of my job is to move it around, just see what different people think, get people talking about it, argue with people about it, get ideas moving among that group of 100 people, get different people together to explore different aspects of it quietly, and, you know – just explore things.” Late Steve Jobs on on his role as leader at Apple 12
