Four Factors of Leadership

Leader - You must have an honest

understanding of who you are, what you know and what you can do. To be successful you have to convince your followers not your superiors, that you are worthy of being followed.

Follower -You must know your people. The fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human nature, such as needs, emotions and motivation.

FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP

Communication-The nonverbal

communication is leading. E.g.- when you set example that communicates to your people that you would not ask them to perform anything that you would not be willing to do. Bad communication harm the relation between leader and employee.

Situation-We must use our judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed for each situation. What we do in one situation will not always work in another.

abusive, unprofessional style called “bossing people around.”
