4 The only definition of a leader is someone with followers.
Peter Drucker – The Leader of the Future Think of the corporation as a community of people spread over miles of hills, fields and forests. To get everyone moving in a new direction, leaders need to be dispersed across the countryside. Worley & Lawler 2006 article in readings

5 What Leaders Really Do Most small companies are over-managed and under-led Many (young ?) people can play important leadership roles Leaders are everywhere There is a difference between leading and managing

6 Management v. Leadership
Management keeps things orderly – the Rowers Leadership keeps things moving forward – the Steerers Managers plan and budget, control, solve problems Leaders set directions, motivate and inspire

I will summarise the main criticisms directed at advertising. Hopefully you’ll be able to keep them in mind when you look at ads next.

16 Leadership and you: Total person involvement
Using communication skills without honesty makes you manipulative and puts sustainable relationships at risk You lie - you die (as a leader) If (someone believes) you only say things to get things then you are unlikely to inspire trust or retain credibility You are your communication (how else will people know you as a person and as a leader?)
