The following are some of my inferences from the video
While seeing the video it was obvious that in spite of huge noise out there a small order by the conductor(leader) changes noise into music. A concert is an interweaving of stories about the conductors , musician, orchestra, audiences Though a conductor is not the one who does the actual work but leads or conducts or guides the entire orchestra towards a fruitful outcome and a leadership too should follow the lines of that. Even during work when a person was able to happy people doubted how he is able to be happy. But thats not only because of him alone and since he involves various participants . A leader should just create a path for the sub ordinates and followers to follow and guide them and should not interfere with them in that path .As a leader he should give space for subordinates to carry on their work in their own style by giving them autonomy which may enhance the productivity. He should never use them only as a tool to complete the task which would be of any benefit to the employee and instead employees should use them in their own ways. Certain leaders are very clear that giving their sub - ordinated orders would confine them only to those orders and prevents them from think out of that and which is against the concept of novelty. And these Leading style becomes more important in crisis situations where we allow our sub-ordintes to think autonomously without putting pressure on them. Authority or position alone doesnt help you in giving them proper space Ultimately leadership is not a zero sum game where one gains at the expense of another leader should create a win-win situation for all.
Inferences from The Leadership Point of
View(LPV) Article The following are some of my inferences from LPV Article : I had a notion that people in top positions in hierarchy can be acting as effective leaders as they have the power in hand and all other sub-ordinates in lower hierarchy has to follow their orders.I learnt that power may be an added advantage but not mandatory for a leader. I also thought all people in top hierarchies are very good leaders and that is also not completely true.There are some leaders who are not so effective compared to leaders who are not vested with any power in their hands Also had a view that if and only if a person is in top position in an organization can take initiatives as taking initiatives also has nothing to do only with leadership.I Got to know about the elements to be done from leadership point of view which I have never come across. One need not be in a management position to be a leader, leaders are found throughout all levels in an organization. Leadership is about getting people to understand and believe in your vision and to work with you to achieve your goals
A leader should know where he is are, where he wants to go and
enroll the enitre team in charting a path for the future by articulating his views in an effective manner I was of the view that people in top positions can only effectively make decisions as they are the persons who have all the information in hand but this also has been disproved due to the technological innovations and access to all sorts of information that aids in decentralization
