1 Leadership and Management
What’s in a Word?

2 Confusing Terms Leadership Management Administration Supervision

3 Terms are Different, but Interrelated and Overlapping
Administration Leadership Management Supervision

4 Administration A broader term than the others, but one that may encompass all of the others; Sometimes used interchangeably with the others; Commonly applied to people who ”run things,” e.g., “hospital administrator, “nursing home administrator;” “software system administrator.”

5 Management Derived from “mano” (hand), implying a “hands-on” role;
Definitions often include certain commonly accepted components, e.g., planning, directing, organizing, super-vising, controlling, communicating, evaluating, etc.; Implies doing what it necessary to help the organization function effectively and efficiently; Is about“coping with complexity”(Kotter); Doing the “right things.” (Bennis)

6 Supervision Actually one of the commonly-accepted functions of management; From the Latin: “super” (“over”) and “videre” (“to see”), so the term, “overseer;” Usually applied to persons at the mid-management level of the organization, e.g., nursing super- visor, production supervisor.

7 Leadership Derived from Old English, “laedan” (“to guide” or “cause to go with one,”); Setting a direction and influencing others to follow it; Is about coping with change (Kotter); “Doing the right things” (Bennis).

9 Steven Covey – 7 Habits (Parable of Management vs. Leadership)
There was a crew assigned to clear some jungle in the Amazon. The crew was very well organized. There were machete-wielders on the front-line, machete-sharpeners one step behind, water and food bearers, as well as supervisors to see that all would go well. The crew was making excellent time, clearing even more jungle than they expected, and well above schedule. Then, one curious crew member climbed up a tree and looked out over the jungle.

10 Management vs. Leadership!
Steven Covey – 7 Habits (Parable of Management vs. Leadership) – Cont’d After a few minutes, the curious tree climber looked down on the crew and yelled, “Hey, wrong jungle!” The people below were very unhappy to hear this and yelled back to him, “Who cares….we’re making good time!” Management vs. Leadership!

11 Questions? Which one is more important for the organization?
Do you think organizations need both leaders and managers? Is it possible for one person fulfill both roles? What are the qualities that make each the most effective? (Next)

18 LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT THEORY

19 8 Leadership Theories Great Man Theories – Leaders are born, not made;
Trait Theories – Certain traits make people better leaders, e.g., assertive-ness, intelligence; Contingency Theories – Particular variables related to the environment determine which leadership style is best; Situational Theories – Leaders choose best course of action (style) based on situational variables;

5) Behavioral Theories – Great leaders are made, not born. Focuses on actions or behaviors instead of other factors; 6) Participative Theories – Ideal leadership style takes input of others into account; 7) Management Theories – Focus on role of supervision, organization, and systems of rewards and punishments; 8) Relationship Theories – Also called “transform-ational leadership;” Focus on motivating and inspiring followers.

21 Example of a Participative Theory – The Managerial Grid - Blake & Mouton

22 Five Basic Ingredients of Leadership – (Bennis – On Becoming a Leader)
Guiding Vision – The leader has a clear idea of what he/she wants to do/ accomplish; Passion – The leader loves what he/she does and loves doing it; Passion gives hope and inspiration to the people; Integrity – Three essential elements: self-knowledge, candor, and maturity;

23 Five Basic Ingredients of Leadership – (Bennis – continued)
4) Trust – Not so much an ingredient as a product, i.e., “It is the one quality that cannot be acquired, but must be earned;” 5) Curiosity & Daring – “The leader wonders about everything, wants to learn as much as he can, is willing to take risks, experi-ment, try new things.

24 Ingredients of Leadership - Continued
Bennis: “These ingredients are not “traits” that one is born with. As countless deposed kings and hapless heirs to great fortunes can attest, true leaders are not born but made, and usually self-made. Leaders invent themselves.”

25 Leadership Theory is Actually Ancient – Lao Tzu – 600 B.C., Wrote:
“Of the worst leaders, the people despise and defy; The next best are those they fear; Then come those they love and praise; And the greatest leader above them all, the people barely know he exists. To lead people, walk behind them. When the work is done, the people will say, ‘We did it ourselves.’”
