CLASSIFICATION OF THE LEADER BASED ON LEADERSHIP AND INFLUENCE PREDICATORS

CLASSIFICATION OF THE LEADER BASED ON LEADERSHIP AND INFLUENCE PREDICATORS

In the just previous essay I started a discourse on the classification of the leader and focused mainly the predicators, which I referred as Design and Purpose. Also, I established that you cannot know “why” until you have a clear understanding of “what”, meaning that understanding your design precedes the purpose. However, today, I am going to go straight ahead and lay the classifications as we see leaders from the eyes of the School of Leadership Development. They are as follows:

A. Based on Influence
The way leaders influence the followers:
Leaders who provide Short term needs
Leaders who provide Long term needs

The way leaders influence the disciples:
Leaders with Apparent evidence
Leaders with Real evidence

The way leaders influence the collaborators:
Synthetic purposeful leaders
Authentic purposeful leaders

The way leaders influence the Leaders:
Short term result oriented leaders
Long term result oriented leaders

B. Based on Leadership Dimensions
Leaders by Design
Leaders by Responsibility
Leaders by Attraction

C. Based on Role Model
Inspiring Leaders
Leading Leaders
Mentoring Leaders
Coaching Leaders
Motivating Leaders

D. Based on Change
Paradigm Shifting and Cultural Transforming Leaders
Movement and Cause Oriented Leader
Nation Building Leaders
Team Building Leaders
The Catalyst Leaders

E. Based on Personality Dimensions
Rational Leaders
Artisan Leaders
Guardian Leaders
Idealist Leaders

Each of you falls into one or more of these classifications, and so in the next essay, I shall endeavor to expound on each of them one by one. Just be on the lookout for essays.

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS In the just previous essay I pointed out the three major right attitudes the leader must have in his or her bid to influence the collaborators, which are: he or she must always come up with superior argument, be grounded in wisdom and knowledge, and be proactive in proffering solutions that make problems go away. However, today, I am going to be discussing the dynamics of influencing the collaborators and the point of influence associated with them in the progressive transformation of the cycle of leadership. In the cycle of leadership, the leader is given a goal to transform followers who got attracted to them by the leadership vision into becoming disciples who by a series of teaching learning of the principles that make for good leadership are transformed into collaborators who have eventually discovered their leadership purpose and are willing to either sustain the work being done by the leader or are launched out as leaders in order to ...

The Power of Focus

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. - Tony Robbins Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. By concentrating your efforts upon a few major goals, your efficiency soars, your projects are completed - you are going somewhere. By focusing your efforts to a single point, you achieve the greatest results. ....the power of focus The first rule of success, and the one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It is important to know how to concentrate it, how to husband it, how to focus it on important things instead of frittering it away on trivia.  Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.  The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until...

LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 8

The essence of leadership is continuity such that the poineer leader endeavours to raise people to continue from where he or she stops thereby forming an endless ripple effect from one generation to another. Hence, the relevance of any leadership is to the degree that it is able to outlive itself after having transformed the players into their ideal selves. After the leadership success is achieved, it automatically becomes a template for the followers to build upon. What this means is that when success is attained, it almost becomes obsolete for the next generation, which will require innovation and tweaking if contuinity is intended within their spheres of abilities. Are your intentions in leadership geared towards continuity? Elvis C. Umez Leadership Consultant School of Leadership Development (SOLD) IDB Consult
