    Study Notes

    Leadership Focus

    • Primary focus of leadership is to inspire and motivate individuals towards achieving organizational goals. Leaders are responsible for setting direction, creating vision, and guiding their teams to success. They empower others, foster collaboration, and ensure everyone is working together towards a shared purpose.

    Communication in Organizations

    • Communication within an organization plays a crucial role in disseminating information, fostering collaboration, and building relationships. Effective communication facilitates understanding, transparency, trust, and ultimately, success. It involves clear and concise messaging between employees, across departments, and between management and employees.

    Defining Leadership

    • Leadership is not defined by a specific position but rather by the ability to influence and inspire others. A leader is someone who can effectively communicate their vision, motivate individuals, and build trust within a team.

    Manager's Duty After Instruction

    • After providing instruction, a manager is responsible for monitoring and providing feedback to ensure employees understand and are effectively executing their tasks. This includes actively listening to employee concerns, providing support, and adjusting instructions as needed.

    Characteristic of Authoritarian Leadership

    • Authoritarian leadership, also known as autocratic leadership, is characterized by a centralized decision-making process where the leader holds absolute authority and control. The leader makes all decisions without input from team members. This style can be effective in situations requiring quick decisions or where control is paramount, but it can also stifle creativity and discourage employee autonomy.
