Abstract:
Perhaps the most common assumption executives make is that
authority is somehow the bedrock of leadership - “ you” follow because, I am
the leader, in an industrial, or in the military hierarchy works - or soldiers
perform elemental tasks. The job of leader in those kinds of system was to be
the task master.

in fluence process, deferences tend to center around from management. The
latter issue has been a particularly heated topic of debate in recent years, with
most experts arguing that leadership and management are different.
“ Leadership as the ability to influence a group toward the
achievement of goals” (Stephen p. Robbins) ~
The leader was the person who knew what needed doing and decided
who would do what people were given leadership roles because it was
presumed that they knew more than anyone else. In term, they thought their
job was to tell people what to do, how to do it, and why do it. There was a

more than mechanical elements in production and leaders must be more than
order givens. Today and in the future, each works will bring a set of unique
skills, insight, and knowledge to the team in some cases, much more than the
leader dose. The takes of future leaders is to orchestrate team, talents toward
competitive ends, not exercise their authoritarian proclivities.
Leadership is not authority, nor is it power. Leadership Is best
understood as a verb as what happens when secure self knowledge team vision
listed below are some prescriptions for leadership in the new millennium.
