كيف تصبح قائداً ناجحاً

1. أفضل ما يمكن فعله حال الغضب ألا تصدر قرارات أو أوامر انفعالية ، انتظر حتى تهدأ ، ويذهب عنك شيطان الغضب ، فإن تصمت أفضل من أنت تندم . 2. اهبط من على صهوة جواد التعب وأرح ذهنك وجسدك قبل أن تتخذ قراراً حاسماً قد تعاني من نتائجه مدة طويلة . 3. ربما سول لنا غرورنا أن الحق معنا لمجرد أننا أصبحنا في موقع قيادي أو ريادي ، وهذا ليس بديدن أصحاب القرارات الصائبة ، بل يجب أن نتحرر من الغرور والاعتداد بالرأي كي نستطيع أن نضفي على قراراتنا الوجهة السليمة . 4. التحفيز يتكون عادة من خطوات أربع ، فيبدأ بالرغبة المشتعلة ثم إعمال الخيال من أجل إثراء وتثبيت هذه الرغبة ، ثم حديث النفس والذي يكون بين المرء وذاته فيعلن فيها لنفسه عن عزمة المضي قدماً وبلا إبطاء من أجل تحقيق غايته وهدفه ، ثم أخيراً يكون الفعل ، بحيث تخطو في ثقة متسلحا بالمعرفة والرغبة قاصداً هدفك الذي حددته وقد صار جزء من تفكيرك . 5. الحافز كلما كان مشتعلاً قوياً كلما كان سيره إلى غايته أشد قوة وتماسك وإصرار . 6. يجب أن يكون حافز المرء منا كامناً بداخله وألا ننتظر المحفزات الخارجية سواء عن طريق ثناء صديق أو مقولة تشجيع من رئيسك .7. ردد في نفسك دائماً أنك قوي ، وأن المؤمن القوي أحب عند الله من المؤمن الضعيف ، كما أخبرنا رسول الله ? . 8. هناك صنف من المديرين والقادة لا يروا أهمية في تحفيز مرؤوسيهم ينظرون إلى موظفيهم على أنهم في نعمة تستحق الشكر لمجرد أنهم يعملون لديهم ، وغيرهم يجلس وقد قيدته البطالة . 9. وهذا في حقيقة الأمر شيء مؤسف والذي يفعله شخص قد غطى أهم ثرواته وأن تحفيزهم يدفعهم إلى العمل والإنتاج بشكل أفضل . 10. المدح أحد أبرع الطرق لتحفيز 11. ساعد في تحقيق أحلام غيرك : فإذا كان لأحدهم هدفاً دراسياً فساعده على تحقيقه ، فمثلاً إذا كان أحد موظفيك يطمح فساعده على نيل هذه الشهادة أو الدورة فهذا بجانب أنه سيحفز ويشعره أنك تفكر معه في مستقبله يجعله متميزاً أكثر في عمله وأدائه . 12. لا تنس اللمسات الإنسانية : لا تتعامل مع موظفيك على أنهم ماكينات أو آلات صماء بل تعامل معهم على أنهم بشر لهم أحاسيس ومشاعر مثلك تماماً . 13. أحفظ أسماء موظفيك ونادهم بها فمن أحب الأشياء لدى المرء أن ينادى باسمه خاصة من رئيسه . 14. لا تظلم أحداً ، ولا ترفع شخص على حساب آخر ، كن عادلاً تكن محبوباً . 15. أصبح الوقوف عند حد معين والاكتفاء بما وصلنا إليه شيء غير سليم ، المرء اليوم أصبح مُلزماً على تنمية ذاته والتثقيف المستمر . 16. وجود هدف كبير أو مثير ، كفيل بغرس الحماسة والتحفيز في نفسك . 17. ليكن لك دفتراُ تكتب فيه إنجازاتك وما استطعت أن تنجزه بنجاح فإن هذا الدفتر قادر على شحذ همتك في الأوقات الصعبة وتذكيرك دائماً أنك نجحت من قبل ، وقادر على النجاح والتميز والتألق مرة ثانية وثالثة . 18. جل البشر يخشون من التغيير ، والغالب والأعم منهم يريد أن يبقى الحال على ماهو عليه حتى وإن تمنى البعض التغيير وردد أنه يطمح إليه ، تجده أضعف الناس في اتخاذ قرار أو القيام بمبادرة إيجابية نحو التغيير للأفضل . 19. هناك 5 موانع رئيسية تقف أمام رغبات المرء الذي يود تغيير أمر ما وهي : 1- الشك . 2- الخوف منن المخاطرة . 3- الروتين والتعود .4- الرهبة والخوف. 5- الاعتراض الاجتماعي . 20. حاول أن تعود عقلك على كسرالمألوف وحب التغيير والتفكير بشكل مختلف . 21. عليك أن تنتبه جيداً عند إحداث تغيير في بيئة عمل إلى النقاط العشر الآتية : 1- ضع خطة مفصلة ودقيقة للشيء الذي تود تغييره . 2- ضع إطاراً زمنياً لها . 3- ضع شرحأً وافياً للخطة بطريقة واضحة ومفهومة . 4- اعرض هذا الشرح بطريقة إيجابية وحماسية . 5- وضح ما سيحدث من تغيير ، وبين أثره على المؤسسة . 6- توقع الاعتراضات التي تتوقعها وجهز رداً عملياً عليها.7- لا تنفعل تقبل كل الآراء مهما كانت صادمة لك . 8- تحمل المسؤولية أيا ما كانت النتائج . 9- كن مرناً في تعديل خطتك وغيرها إذا ما بين لك أحدهم خللاً فيها 10- اشكر الجميع من تقبل الخطة منهم ومن عارضها . 22. التغيير أمر لا يميل إليه الكثير من بني البشر يرهبه معظم الناس ولا يقوم به إلا فئة قليلة من أصحاب الشجاعة والقوة.23 - التقدم مستحيل بدون تغيير وأولئك الذي لا يستطيعون تغيير عقولهم لا يستطيعون تغيير أي شيء . 24. مشكلتنا أننا نكره التغيير ونحبه في نفس الوقت فكل ما نريده هو أن تظل الأشياء كما هي ولكن تكون أفضل . 25. احذر أن تعيش وأنت ترتدي نظارة سوداء قاتمة لا ترى إلا السيئ فقط . 26. إن كنت لا تعلم بكل دقة إلى أين أنت ذاهب فلك مني دعاء المشفق فنحن في زمن لا يفسح الطريق إلا لمن يعرف إلى أين هو ذاهب. 27- الأسباب التي تجعل معظمنا لا يبادر بتحديد هدف له في الحياة هي : 1- الخوف من عدم استطاعتنا الوفاء بها . 2- عدم الثقة في النفس . 3- التأجيل . 4- عدم الإيمان أصلاً بجدوى التخطيط . 5- الجهل بطرق التخطيط السليمة .28. عدم وجود خطة في حياتك يجعلك تعيش الحياة وكأنها حالة طوارئ فكل شيء متداخل ومضطرب على العكس من ذلك فوجود خطة منظمة ومتوازنة لحياتك سيجعلك أكثر تركيزاً على طريقة معيشتك. 29. قد ينجح شخص لا يخطط لكنه أولا قد يعيش مضطرباً , ثانيا هو استثناء وليس قاعدة ولا يجب أن يبني عاقل على الاستثناء . 30. أنواع الأهداف : 1- أهداف قصيرة المدى .2- أهداف متوسطة المدى. 3- أهداف طويلة المدى .31. لتحديد الهدف عليك بأمور :1- حدد جيداً ماذا تريد الوصول إليه فهدف غير واضح المعالم ، وغير محدد بدقة ، فهذا من شأنه أن يضيع الوقت والجهد . 2- يجب أن يكون هدفك واقعياً ويستحق التحقيق . 3- الرغبة المشتعلة . 4- عش هدفك ، فعندما تحدد هدفك حاول أن تراه بكل تفاصيله وتصوره وكأه قد تحقق وبأنك جزء منه . 5- اتخاذ القرار ، أكتب هدفك ، فهدف غير مكتوب يعني أمنية شيء جميل أما الأهداف المكتوبة فهي الحقيقة . 6- تحديد إطار زمني ، تخيل معي مباراة كرة قدم ليس لها وقت محدد ، شيء صعب التخيل والاعتقاد , كذلك هدف لم يحُدد له موعد للبدء أو الانتهاء ، تحديد موعد لكل هدف يتيح لك أشياء غاية في ألأهمية كالالتزام ، والحماسة ، والقوة . 7- اعرف إمكانياتك ، اعرف ما تملك وما تحتاج إلى امتلاكه ولكل هدف أدوات لتحقيق هدفك وما تحتاج له أعرف نفسك جيداُ وأعمل على سد الخلل الناشئ في ذخيرة مواهبك .8- ادرس المصاعب وأستعد لها . 9- تقدم و ضع أهدافك على أرض الواقع فالخطوة الأولى دائماُ ما تكون صعبة يحتاج المرء دائماً إلى قوة دافعة في بداية أي مشروع أو هدف ابدأ الآن في تحقيق أهدافك بوضعها على أرض الواقع خذ الخطوة الأولى بلا تردد أو إبطاء فهذه الخطوة هي البرهان على قوة هدفك . 10- قيم خططك ، فقبل أن تمضي في طريقك لتحقق هدفك تأكد من أنك قد سألت واستشرت وتسلحت بمعلومات وخبرات كافية تعينك على رحلتك كي لا تنفق من وقتك وجهدك فيما لا طائل من ورائه . 32. مراحل الوصول إلى هدف: دون هدفك في ورقة بحجم كارت العمل ورقة صغيرة لتكن هذه الورقة حاضرة معك دائماً اقرأ ما فيها في الصباح وأنت في العمل وقبل أن تنام .2- تخيل هذه الأهداف ، إلى أن تصبح حقيقة واقعة ، كلما تراه تعيشه يظل هائجاً بداخلك يستحثك على تحقيقه , ففي صباح كل يوم حاول أن تتسلح بالتأكيدات الإيجابية ، مثل أنا أقدر على تحقيق هدفي أنا مؤمن بقدراتي على النجاح أنا قوي وقادر على فعلها . 3- تصرف كأنك قد حققت هدفك فعلياُ وسر في الحياة رافع الرأس شامخ الرأس شامخ الهامة تنفس عبق التفاؤل عش وكأن الفشل لم يخُلق لك , النجاح قريب جداً منك فقط هي مسألة وقت ويكون بين يديك . 4-استخدم قاعدة العشرة افعل يومياً شيء يقربك فقط 10سنتيمترات من هدفك ومع مرور الوقت ستجد أنك قد حققت فعلياً تقدماً ملحوظاً . 5- تحمل المسئولية كن قاراً على دفع تكاليف هدفك كن دائماً جزء من الحل غير قابل للوقوف بعجز أمام المشكلات المفاجئة لا تلوم الآخرين على الأخطاء وتنأى بنفسك عن تحمل المسئولية كن شجاعاً مقداماً فالهمة العالية تحتاج إلى رجل شجاع ، والمؤمن القوي أحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف . 33 - لصوص الوقت هي :1- المماطلة والتأجيل : هو اللص الأكثر شهرةً وتأثيراً . 2- الخلط بين أهمية الأمور . 3- عدم التركيز : فقد تبدأ في عمل شيء ثم تتوقف للقيام بمكالمة أو لعمل شيء آخر . 4- عدم قدرتك على قول لا : الشخص الذي يستحي من رفض الزيارات والدعوات والمحادثات التي ليس لها موعد سابق يجد نفسه ضائعاً غير قادر على امتلاك زمام وقته . 5- المقاطعات المفاجئة .6- المجهود المكرر : بأن تكون منهمكاً في شيء ما ثم تتركه لتفعل شيء آخر . 7- التخطيط الغير واقعي : بأن نخطط وننظم أمورنا بشكل غير منضبط فالأمر الذي يستهلك 5أيام نعطيه يوم أو يومين والمهمة التي تستوجب يومين نعطيها أربعة أو خمسة . 8- عدم النظام . 9- الاجتماعات . 10- الاجتماعيات ، الدعوات التي قد تُقدم للمرء من الممكن أن تلتهم جل وقته فإذا ما ترك لنفسه العنان في قبول كل الدعوات المقدمة إليه فسيقع في دائرة من التشتت . 34. نم مبكراً واستيقظ مبكراً تنعم بوقتك ، فرصة الإنتاج في الصباح تكون كبيرة جداً والسهر دائماً ما يرهق الجسم والعقل . 35. قل لنفسك دائماً : 1- أنا أتعامل مع وقتي بشكل منظم . 2- أنا أتقدم بشكل مستمر ورائع . 3- أنا بالفعل أتعامل مع وقتي بشكل جيد ومنظم . 36. إذا كنت تنشد التميز فتصرف كأنك تملكه . 37. عندما تتعامل كمحترف تثبت بداخلك قيم ومبادئ المحترفين ويمتلك عقلك الباطن تصوراً عن الصورة التي تود أن تصبح عليها ويساعدك في تحقيق هذا التصور . 38. تضييع وقتك يعني ببساطة أنك تضيع حياتك ، وتفرط في أحلامك وأمانيك . 39. القيادة يمكنك تعلمها بل يجب أن تتعلمها إنها مهارة وليست عادة مكتسبة . 40. قلب القائد كالبحر لا يمكن اكتشاف شواطئه البعيدة . | | | | | | | |

...Chapter 18 Managers as Leaders Leaders in organizations make things happen. But what makes leaders different from nonleaders? What’s the most appropriate style of leadership? What can you do to be seen as a leader? Those are just a few of the questions we’ll try to answer in this chapter. Focus on the following learning outcomes as you read and study this chapter. LEARNING OUTCOMES 18.1 Define leader and leadership. 18.2 Compare and contrast early theories of leadership. 18.3 Describe the three major contingency theories of leadership. 18.4 Describe contemporary views of leadership. 18.5 Discuss contemporary issues affecting leadership. SPOTLIGHT: Manager at Work What is the difference between being a manager and being a leader? Are these terms synonymous? Management guru Peter F. Drucker once said, “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” You might begin the study of Chapter 18 by asking your students for their perspectives on these questions and the quotation from Dr. Drucker. This chapter’s Spotlight: Manager at Work, looks at the legacy of Steve Jobs. In many ways, Jobs epitomizes the leader of a high tech company. How he was extremely charismatic and extremely compelling in getting people to join with him and believe in his vision. But also how he was despotic, tyrannical, abrasive, uncompromising, and a perfectionist. Jobs broke the rules of management and remade them to fit his vision. Students...

...EFFECTIVE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP ACROSS CULTURES: THE ROLE OF CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION COMPETENCE Dr. Alexi Matveev College of Staten Island New York, NY, USA Dr. Elena Lvina Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada Abstract New theoretical frameworks are needed to better understand effective transformational leadership in different cultural contexts. In this article we illustrate the relationship between transformational leadership and the cross-cultural communication competence frame. We show how national culture orientations and cross-cultural communication competence affect the full range leadership framework and transformational leadership dimensions. Attributes of effective leadership and the choice of communication strategies vary for different cultural contexts; however, the charismatic or value-based leadership dimension contributes the most to universally perceived effective leadership styles. We draw attention to the importance of transformational leadership research utilizing the cross-cultural communication competence construct. Introduction Transformational leaders rely heavily on their rhetorical skills in order to articulate a vision and create meaning for their followers. While the leader's message is important, the process by which it is communicated appears to be just as significant. The communication style is a critical distinguishing factor in whether the leader’s message will be remembered and endorsed. Flauto...

...Leadership emerges every level of organisations, from animal social behaviors to multi-international organisations. But no single universally accepted definition could be drew with all the scholars agree. There are 211 different definitions of about leadership (Rost 1993). Claimed by one of the researchers on transformational leadership, Bernard M. Bass (2008), there is no urge to unify the definitions of leadership. The appropriate definition of leadership depends on the specific dimension of leadership of interest to the individual. In this essay, the definition from Peter Northhouse (2001) will be adopted, “leadership is a process whereby one individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”. This essay will discuss two leadership models; transformational and transactional leadership, followed by the illustration of the features by 2 known leaders of different leadership models. The corresponding evaluation of the models will also be examined. Transformational leadership, the most studied idea with the field of leadership (Diaz-Saenz, 2011, p. 299), is the process of transforming the attitudes of the followers to achieve extraordinary outcomes in organisation’s objectives (Yukl &Fleet, 1992, 174), consisting of four features. Barack Obama is one of the great leaders who possesses certain features of transformational leadership. Idealised influence: By overcoming his rigorous childhood brought by the multiracial heritage (Obama, 2008) and having a rare...

...Johnson English Comp. 1 30 October 2013 Leadership Leadership is originally defined as the act or an instance of leading, but that is not other people’s definition. To some people, leadership means so much more and others not so much. Leadership is something not everyone has, but some people want. Some people tend to follow instead of lead others. Leadership is taking a role and standing up for something or someone when no one else will. Taking up for someone when he/she is being bullied, taking the lead role around school, and leading others on the right path; not the wrong one are great characteristics of leadership. Taking up for someone when he/she is being bullied definitely defines this person as a leader in some people’s eyes. People look at leadership and think of the president or high officials. When others look at leadership, they see all the little details like taking up for someone when he/she is being bullied. In today’s society, the number one cause for suicide is bullying and when someone decides to be a leader and stand up is when he/she has the role of leadership. Standing for someone that is being bullied is a characteristic not everyone has because some people do not care and others are afraid to take a stand. Taking the lead role at your school or anywhere else is a prime example of leadership. Taking a lead on a school project, helping out at the school, or just cleaning up are all great examples of leadership. Taking the lead role is a characteristic...

...LEADERSHIP UNCUT | Brian Evje Jan 30, 2013 Quick: Define Leadership If you don't know what your leadership is, how are you going to make it persuasive to others? Only a few people have a solid answer. When first working with a client, I ask, “What is your definition of your leadership?”   Invariably, a pause follows. The eventual response is sometimes tentative, confused, or incomplete.  This happens with new and experienced leaders, in large companies and in start-ups.  Only a few people have a solid answer. Not many leaders have a clear, concise, concrete definition of what being a leader means to them. The eminent leadership scholar Ralph Stogdill observed, “There are nearly the same number of leadership definitions as there are people who have attempted to define it.”  Here are just a few perspectives: * “The first job of a leader is to define a vision for the organization…the capacity to translate vision into reality.” (Warren Bennis) * “Leadership is a series of behaviors rather than a role for heroes.” (Margaret Wheatley) * “Leadership: the art of getting someone else to do something that you want done because he wants to do it.” (Dwight D. Eisenhower) It is no wonder then, that a ready answer is not on the lips of every leader. But the lack of a compelling, individual definition can be a serious defect. Why Define Your Leadership? When asked, “Why should I have a definition for my leadership?” I answer, “What is the cost of not understanding the foundation...

...JTB_Journal of Technology and Business. October 2007 Ethical Leadership Makes the Right Decisions Magdy Hussein Faculty, Northwestern Polytechnic University ABSTRACT This paper defines business leadership, review different types of leadership and examine how leadership ethics add great values and weight when making a business decision. The ethical scandals that have occurred in the last ten years have shaken the image of Corporate America. Leadership is on the test when business operators make competitive, strategic and tactical decisions that affect both stockholders and stakeholders such as downsizing and outsourcing. Ethical and moral obligations toward both parties require more than leadership with management skills and influential charisma. It entails visionary wisdom that makes possible moral decisions in the best interest of everyone involved. Key words: Leadership, Managerial Leader, Charismatic Leader, Transformational Leader, Strategic Leadership, Ethical leadership, Stakeholders, Corporate Social Responsibility Ethical leadership combines ethical behavior and ethical decision-making and is required by both individuals and organizations. One major responsibility of a leader is to build a foundation of ethical organizational behavior through ethical decisions and to differentiate between leadership compliance with codes of ethics and leadership values of business ethics’ practice. There is a need to synthesize these differences and evaluate the degree to which...

...Leadership is a reciprocal relationship between like-minded leaders and followers to achieve a realistic and positive change through empowerment and planning. My definition of leadership is based on what I have learned in my leadership studies as well as my personal experiences with leadership throughout my life. I use aspects from some of the previous definitions of leadership that once were used and accepted. I personally believe that leadership can be rightly defined in many different ways depending on the circumstances that are used to describe it. This being said, my definition of leadership should not be considered the only one that is plausible, rather one that should be used in the instances that I have been a part of. Before I go forward and describe in more detail, I feel it is fitting to give a brief description of some of the past leadership definitions and styles that have affected me. Leadership has been defined in many different ways ever since it was first described in academics. Some of the theories that have affected my leadership the most are the situational leadership theory, charismatic leadership, and leadership as a social change. These are not the only ones that I believe have sculpted the way I choose to be a leader, but they are the most important ones to me. The situational leadership theory of leadership can best be described as a leadership style that is flexible to change. This style of leaderships asserts that the situation will dictate how...

...There are many differences between management and leadership. Management relies on positional power, that is authority or status. It depends on the rules, structures and systems within an organisation, which surround a job. Leadership relies on personal power. This comes from the ability to develop strong and mutually rewarding relationships. It depends upon good interpersonal skills, positive personal characteristics and supportive behaviour. The key to leadership is influence. Leadership is a facet of good management but a leader does not necessarily have the positional power of a manager. The crux of this comparison between management and leadership is one of choice. People choose to follow and commit to a leader but a manager must be followed. We are emotional animals and the commitments we make based on our emotions are forcible. Management The manager’s primary commitment is to the employing organisation. His/her job is to manage members of the organisation in achieving that organisation’s goals using his/her positional power. Good management involves: • Information Control (Keeping people informed about issues which affect them) • Resources control (Allocated on the basis of business priority) • An Appraisal system (Using performance indicators and objectives as the basis of appraisal) • Job Seniority (Giving clear instructions for tasks) • Specialist Expertise (Sharing expertise to help and develop others) • Rewards and Punishment (Using rewards fairly and transparently...

...QuickView Leadership Series Helping you navigate the leadership landscape Are Leaders Born or Made? Perspectives from the Executive Suite By: William Gentry, Ph.D., Jennifer J. Deal, Ph.D., Sarah Stawiski, Ph.D., and Marian Ruderman, Ph.D. Issued March 2012 Introduction Do you think a leader should be a hero or a negotiator? Out in front leading people or coordinating the work of the group? Destined to be a leader or developed to be a leader? The way we think about leadership affects how we perceive the leaders around us. For instance, if we expect a leader to be a hero, we are likely to see someone who takes charge to save the day as a good leader and someone who asks everyone’s opinions and lets the group make decisions as weak. Alternatively, if we think a leader should be collaborative and focused on making sure decisions arise from the group, we would view someone who is directive as aggressive or a tyrant. our beliefs about how people become leaders affect how we evaluate people’s leadership potential. Believing people are born leaders is likely to result in a focus more on selecIn the same way, tion (identify the right people) rather than on development (develop the people you get). On the other hand, believing that people are made into leaders by their experiences would be more likely to result in a greater focus on making sure people had the right opportunities to develop into leaders.

When we talk about leadership skills what exactly do we mean? Leadership skills are tools, behaviors and capabilities that a person need in order to be successful at motivating and directing others. Yet true leadership skills involve something more; the ability to help people grow in their own abilities. It can be said that the most successful leaders are those that drive others to achieve their own success. There are many leadership styles and has lot many leadership qualities attributed to the styles. Which one is perfect and what qualities make a good leader is slowly becoming the context and situation oriented. The dynamics and characteristics of this 21st century world are greatly varied than previous centuries. As the society becomes faster paced and dynamic the problems and challenges are also evolving in rapid fashion, making them even more difficult to resolve. People perception and demands on their leadership is also changing fast. They demand new styles of leadership which provide solutions, not necessary an autocratic way but a blend of different styles and qualities to suite these dynamic, challenging, complex 21st and future...

...Leadership Questions Elizabeth Geevarghese NUR/492 Leadership Questions Leadership and management are essential to any organization. The effectives of leadership and management influence the success of the organization. Leaders guide the direction to the group, and the managers focus on the achievements of the organization. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the personal views of leadership, differentiate between management and leadership and explain the characteristics of an effective leader. Personal Views of Leadership In my opinion, the leader must have the potential to motivate the team members. A leader must be able to communicate effectively as well as have good listening skills. In my Personal view, a health care leader must be able to make detrimental decisions, able to work in a diverse community, culture, people and yet maintain tenacity and professionalism. My preference is to work with a leader who respects a healthcare professional, and not function on the basis of dictatorship whereby nurses are comfortable approaching the head with their problems or concerns. A leader needs to be consistent, visionary, confident, assertive, yet fair and open-minded so that the team members trust them, and together they attain the goals and be a success. Leadership and Management There is a close relationship between leadership and management, but they have different concepts. A leader is one who impacts others and uses interpersonal skills to achieve the goal...
