...WORKING WITH AND LEADING People ASSIGNMENT BRIEF The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the job. So what is this thing of working with others to create something new? To create something which none of us could create on our own? To create something which is often more than the sum of the parts? Surely that’s what organizations do. But somehow I do not see many advertisements for leader of function, general leader, senior leader, corporate leader, leading director, chief executive leader, shop floor leader, finance leader. I do see advertisements for head of function, general manager, senior manager, corporate executive, managing director, chief executive officer, shop floor supervisor, and finance manager. Is it purely semantics? Just words, or is there a meaning behind the words? I think that there is meaning. And I think that there is a different meaning to leader and manager. And that there is a need for different types of leadership in different types of change. This means that there are actually fewer common threads in this chapter. So unlike other chapters, this assignment will separately address the different ways of leading the four main types of change. The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people...

...WORKING WITH AND LEADING PEOPLE INTRODUCTION The essence of leading is to develop a frame work for mutual understanding of what is to be achieved and a frame for managing and developing people he ensure that it will be achieved. To lead, the reader by his personal conduct should lead by example, he should mean no when he says no vice versa, leader must do it the way they talk it. “It is not what the leaders says and writes that influences his surbordinate”. It is what he is and they judge what he is by what he does and how he behaves. Urwick, L.F (1947). The will to do is triggered by leadership, competency is required in leadership. Peter Drucker in his words quoted an effective leader is one who can make ordinary men do extraordinary things, make common people do uncommon things. Leadership means building of mans personality beyond its normal limitation, raising of man’s standard to higher performance. To be able to work with and lead people needs the ability to lead, guide, direct, steer, administer, manage and exercise authorities as well as excelling.
