Leadership

It is...

"Leadership is visionary; it is the projection of personality and character to inspire people to achieve the desired outcome. There is no prescription for leadership and no prescribed style of leader. Leadership is a combination of example, persuasion and compulsion dependent upon the situation. it should aim to transform and be underpinned by individual skills and an enabling philosophy. The successful leader is an individual who understands him/herself, the organisation, the environment in which they operate and the people that they are privileged to lead"

Q - What makes an effective leader?

Effective leader...

It is...

"An effective leader is a person with passion for a cause that is larger than they are. Someone with a dream and a vision that will better society, or at least, some portion of it.

Attributes of RAF leaders

Appendix 27

What?

So What?

The possession of any particular set of attributes or characteristics does not guarantee success in leadership and no list is exhaustive. However, any organisation seeks a particular contribution from its leaders and the 9 leadership attributes outlines those required by the RAF. An understanding of the importance of each attribute, and the many things that stand behind them is necessary to achieve outstanding performance in leadership. Equally, this understanding needs to be underpinned by the ability to adopt a variety of leadership styles and approaches appropriate to the circumstances.

Transactional leadership

Microsoft CEO Bill Gates

Transactional leadership style

Transactional leadership can transform civilians into productive Service people in the shortest time possible by providing high quality instruction and by imposing, and holding individuals answerable to, a regime of discipline. However, it does not change their inherent attitudes and values and it is necessary to continue to train, discipline and support them to maintain the new behavior.

The transformational model of leadership is based on working with an individual's self image and creating an environment where self-discipline is actively supported and developed.
