"To be effective, a leader must successfully influence the way people influence themselves"

 By Charles S. Mans & Henry P. Sims, Jr.

WHAT IS SUPERLEADERSHIP? Superleadership is leadership that inspires

organizational success by showing followers how to lead themselves.

Superleaders help each of their followers to develop into an effective self-leader by providing them with the skills necessary to exercise self-leadership.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT? As leadership is to produce more leaders, not

more followers.

Employee self-leadership is the key to success in the new economy.

So, having super-leadership, followers are treated in a proper way and thus turn into super leaders.

BENEFITS OF SUPERLEADERSHIP High team performance and flexibility High follower development and self-

confidence High team creativity and innovation High long-term performance High ability of the team to work

independently in absence of leader

PROCESS OF SUPERLEADERSHIP

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEADERS The “strong man,”

The “transactor,”

The “visionary hero,”

And the “Super Leader.”

The strong man Male-dominated process. It still exist today in many organizations but not

highly regarded

The transactor The dominance of male lessened. Women began

to find themselves in leadership positions. The focus is on goals and rewards.

The visionary hero the focus is on the leader’s vision, the leader’s power is based on followers’

The Super leader The focus is on the followers who become self-

leaders. Leaders become “super”- that is, can possess the

strength and wisdom of many persons.

WHY TO SHIFT FROM TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP TO SUPER LEADERSHIP?

The leader helps out the team members to switch from external observation to self-observation.

The focus is on moving from designated goals to goals that are self developed.

Organic control is exercised by team members. Leadership prefer motivation techniques based on the

natural rewards associated with work. Another step is that the leader shifts the group to focus

on self criticism rather than external criticism from the organization.

There is a move from external problem solving towards self-problem solving techniques.

The most appropriate leader today is one who can lead others to lead themselves.

The more traditional image of a leader as a striking figure on a rearing white horse, crying “Follow me!,” may represent an incomplete view of leadership.

DEVELOPED FOLLOWERS OF SUPERLEADERSHIP BECOME

Self leaders Effective

Empowered Confident

PRESENT SCENARIO Superleadership today is a career opportunity for

students which help in cultivating and developing leadership skills.

It is a driving force to succeed in life perhaps as teachers, medical professionals, business men and women or public servants.
