Leadership is the projection of personality; It is combination of persuasion, compulsion and example that makes other people to do what the leader wants them to do.
~ Field-Marshal Sir William Slim, outstanding British and Allied commanders of World War II.
What is Leadership?
Leading is the art of influencing and motivating people to perform in a manner to achieve a common goal. The sum total of a leader’s roles, tasks and responsibilities and interpersonal influences constitutes leadership.
A leader should not only be intelligent (with general problem-solving capacity), but should also possess high integrity and character, equally concerned with ends (doing the right thing) and means (doing rightly).
Effective leaders have to work ceaselessly, and communicate with the people to motivate them in an efficient manner.
What makes a Leader Effective?
Numerous studies have been conducted and considerable amount of research has been done to find out how a leader becomes effective. Various theories have been postulated from time to time to zero in on the factors that influence the effectiveness of leaders.
