What is Leadership
• “the challenge of taking people and organizations to places
they have never been before, of doing something that has
never been done before, and of moving beyond the ordinary to
the extraordinary.“ ~ Kouzes & Posner
• Leadership is not about who you are, but about what you do.
• Great leaders never accomplish extraordinary things alone.
"A leader is one who
knows the way,
goes the way, and
shows the way.“
John C. Maxwell
Direction & Vision
"Leadership is not about titles,
positions, or flowcharts. It is
about one life influencing
another."
John C. Maxwell
influence
Leadership is the art of getting
someone else to do something
you want done because he wants
to do it.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Voluntary Action
“Effective Leadership is not about
making speeches or being liked:
leadership is defined by results not
attributes”
Peter Drucker
“Good business leaders
create a vision,
articulate the vision,
passionately own the vision, and
relentlessly drive it to completion.”
Jack Welch
Vision
• “The task of the leader is to get his people from where they
are to where they have not been.” ~ Henry Kissinger, former U.S.
Secretary of State
• “Management is about persuading people to do things they do
not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to
do things they never thought they could.” ~ Steve Jobs
• “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest
things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” ~
President Ronald Reagan

Leadership vs Management
• Leaders have people follow them, while managers have
people who work for them.
• Leaders lead people. Managers manage tasks, systems &
processes.
Are Leaders Born or Made?
Some are born
great, some achieve
greatness, and some
have greatness
thrust upon them.
William Shakespeare
• Some individuals are born with leadership
qualities
• Some learn to become great leaders.
• Most of the successful leaders develop and
enhance their skills in their life. It means
even a person with leadership qualities
need to refine their skills before reaching
their full potential.
Are Leaders Born or Made?
Only 10% of people are natural leaders
Gallup, 2015
7% of leadership success is related with intellect, while
93% of success is related with trust, integrity,
authenticity, honesty, creativity, presence
and resilience
UCLA Research, Cooper and Sawaf, 1996
Are Leaders Born or Made?
25%-40% of Fortune 500 CEOs use
executive coaches to teach them leadership skills.
McDermott + Bull, 2020
Leadership is a trainable, transferable skill,
rather than it being an exclusively inborn
ability.
Are Leaders Born or Made?
Effective leaders are made, not
born. They learn from trial and
error, and from experience.
Colin Powell
Leadership is a trainable, transferable skill, rather
than it being an exclusively inborn ability.

5 Levels of Leadership
5 Levels of Leadership: Where do you Stand?
Leadership is Action, not Position
PEOPLE FOLLOW YOU BECAUSE
of what you have done
for them
of what you have done
for the organization
they want to
they have to
of who you are and
what you represent
Employees do not see the leaders as someone they can
trust. Difficult to attract volunteers.
Position does not automatically result in influence
Leaders begin to connect, build & grow relationships with
their people which lead to positive influence, gain trust &
respect
Leaders produce results, build influence and credibility. People
follow them because they trust the leaders know what they’re
doing and will lead them in the right direction.
They are servant leaders who teach, mentor, build, and multiply other
leaders. They invest resources to improve the leadership skills of others.
The rarest type of leader. People follow them because of who they are, what they
represent and the quality of their leadership. Level 5 leaders achieve their success
through others' success.
Leading from the position of authority
Leading in a way that build relationships
Leading in a way that get things done
Leading to reproduce
Leading in a way that you invest your
life into
