Your
success as a manager can be determined by how you interact with people. The
role of a manager as a leader is an important part of these interactions.
Leadership involves influencing colleagues so that they follow a given
direction or goal.
The
first is the "people function". Here leadership helps to hold a group
together and maintain the motivation of the group.In
this role the leader will ensure the group has sufficient funds to carry out
its tasks. So a leader should be seen to have influence both outside the group
and within the group.
Next
comes the "task function". Here leadership involves deciding what the
tasks of the group of employees are and then making sure that they are carried
out successfully.
The
third is the "strategic function."A
group of workers that knows what they are trying to achieve will be more
efficient and better motivated than a group that doesn't know what it's
supposed to be doing.
For
example, how much power the manager has over the group, how well the manager
knows the systems present in an organization and how many personal contacts the
manager has within the organization.
Good
communication is another crucial element to successful leadership. A good
leader is aware both of the message to be communicated and of the importance of
effective communication to influence members of the group. It is essential to be a role model
for the policies you advocate. And remember, always accept responsibility for
your mistakes and don't blame colleagues for things that you do badly. No one
is perfect. Just remember this when you interact with colleagues.
A. A leader should act as an
