Leadership – Part Five

Posted on | July 24, 2011 | No Comments

The role of the facilitator, leader, leadership and leading Leadership involves a philosophical perspective that has our own purpose and meaning as fundamental structures. We use our ideas of leadership in combination with our own specific beliefs and ideals to become a leader. This personal involvement has an impact on those around us. When a change-perspective occurs on a collective scale, a huge step for community, company and nation is taken. As these are unique characteristics among humans the definitions of leadership are difficult to study and set to paper, as clarity and bias effect the entire enterprise. Some believe that charisma is important as one of the leader qualities. This charisma, of thought, word, and appearance may induce others to follow as the group begins to form and mobilize. The individuals have combined to become one group, on its own a sub group of a company or community. While positive charismatic features are an individual perception, some common beliefs about a good leader are; they have or are able to explain a vision based on a social construction, can maintain a fluid and flexible thought process, are open to change within the process regarding goals, and that they are moral and able to enforce a series of rules, even unspoken, that keep all the members safe. Leaders may have to understand other’s expectations of them as important elements of their roles. We are drawn to rules and hierarchies as they allow change to take place in an orderly and safe process; but we do so more readily when thoughtful and guiding individuals attend to our needs and us.
