Leader and Leadership

1. Gurus on Leadership
In a world where every business and organization is in a permanent state of change, these questions are asked constantly. Yet ‘leadership’ as a word did not really appear in a dictionary until the late 1800s. Prior to that period of time leaders enjoyed largely inherited power and authority. It was the time of Kings and Tyrants. ‘Leadership’ as a topic for development and study in the business world only came into real focus with the onset of the industrial era of the early 20th century.

2. Creating Leaderful Organizations: How to Bring Out Leadership in Everyone
Leadership has traditionally resided in one person with many followers. This book presents a new model of mutual leadership, which transforms leadership from one individual's responsibility into a new way of working for everyone.
Creating Leaderful Organizations demonstrates the bottom-line benefits of this model, shows how it is already working in numerous companies, and offers guidance in implementation. Author Joseph Raelin explains how to distribute leadership roles; develop individuals to be leaders; deal with resistance; and achieve the "4 c's of leaderful practice" -- concurrent leadership, collective leadership, collaborative leaders, and compassionate leaders.

3. Maintaining Team Performance
Between the time a team is launched and the time it delivers results, managers need to know that the team is on course. Whether they have launched a team to achieve a business objective or have inherited a team, they need to monitor effectiveness on an ongoing basis and make course corrections that keep small problems from becoming major disasters.
Monitoring and maintaining team performance is a key element of leading a team. You can provide that leadership by paying attention to four important dimensions: team member effort, team member knowledge and skills, team tactics, and group dynamics. By focusing on those four areas, you can assess your team’s performance, zero in on areas of weakness, and take the corrective measures necessary to ensure peak performance and to deliver expected results.
