    Persuading others of your vision requires knowledge and a clear strategy (Business Dictionary). Leadership is a natural quality that comes up as responsibility in exchange of having followers with, in return, the followers creating a leader. Concluding that leadership in general cannot be taught, as per the Trait Theory, we argue that it is different characteristics in different situations that result in good leadership. The Trait Theory points out that there is a certain type of person making a good leader, with the decisive factor being: having or not having distinctive qualities of being a leader. Despite that, being an effective leader still can be trained. External and internal influences impact the effectiveness and must be considered in order to succeed. Which leads us to the Behavioural Theory, thinking of what a good leader actually does. Kurt Lewin developed three leadership types such as the autocratic leader who is a maker, someone who makes decisions without consultation with others. Contrasting, the democratic leader who consults with others (a team, for example) before making a decision. Laissez-faire leaders, as the name already indicates, occasionally lets other people make decisions, doesn’t

    One of the practices of the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership is “Inspire a Shared Vision.” This practice is about looking ahead to future goals and enlisting followers who share the same vision as the leader to join their journey. This practice can be used by Sally since she is the senior manager at the MTCR company. Sally would be the one to chose people who share similar values and aspirations to her own to be on her team. She would also be the one to set the longer-term goals for herself and her team because she holds that titled leadership position. If Sally did that, she would exemplify the two commitments of this practice: envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities and enlisting others by appealing to shared aspirations. Sally was able to implement this practice when she chose David to be on his team even though he wasn’t the best at technology. He shared some of the same values as Sally which is what she saw in him. The benefits of Sally using this practice are that she will be able to work at her goals alongside like-minded people. That makes it easier for her to facilitate innovation among her employees.

    Finally, relationships in the work place and in our personal lives are one of the most important aspects that define us as individuals. Everyone knows how much more can be accomplished in a situation where there is a good working relationship verses the opposite. In a leadership role it is important to have a good understanding of each individual team member. This understanding can include what motivates, what is important, and how the leader can tap into these resources. As each of us progress in our leadership roles, it is important to remember, it’s not all about me. I believe once we accept any type of leadership role, we accept the responsibility to serve others. If we consider it only for personal gain, we will probably not be remembered as a good leader.
