Leadership, Power and Influence
Position/Authority confers Power and Influence (Management)
Leadership is an Activity (not a person) Effective Leadership may not derive from
Position or Power
![Page 15: Visionary Leadership - Pikay Richardson, Manchester Business School](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052303/554c6acdb4c905f76f8b4d07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Levels of Leadership
• Front-line or Team Leadership – to deal with a specific task.
• Operational Leadership – to do with day-to-day operations within the organisation.
• Strategic Leadership – about the big picture; process not position; and focuses on the future and orientation towards change.

How Does this Differ from Management?
![Page 19: Visionary Leadership - Pikay Richardson, Manchester Business School](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052303/554c6acdb4c905f76f8b4d07/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Management v/s Leadership
Management is about what “Authority” demands, ie involves “Meeting Expectations”,
- Direction - Protection - Order It may have nothing to do with Leadership, and is
fairly easy to accomplish, and we can be so good at it.
![Page 20: Visionary Leadership - Pikay Richardson, Manchester Business School](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052303/554c6acdb4c905f76f8b4d07/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Functions of Management
Planning Select goals and ways to
obtain them
Directing Motivate and coordinate
employees
Staffing Recruit and obtain
employees
Controlling Monitor activities and
make corrections
Organising Assign authority and
responsibility for task accomplishment
![Page 21: Visionary Leadership - Pikay Richardson, Manchester Business School](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052303/554c6acdb4c905f76f8b4d07/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Leadership v/s Management
Leadership involves Change, and is about “Challenging Expectations”, different things - Observation - Interpretation - Intervention, It is about thinking “out of the box”, moving out of the
“status quo”, doing something different. This can disappoint, hurt, even be risky and dangerous,
eg, attacking Corruption, dealing with expired drugs etc (Jesus, Ghandi, Mandela, Luther King, Welch, etc)
![Page 22: Visionary Leadership - Pikay Richardson, Manchester Business School](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052303/554c6acdb4c905f76f8b4d07/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Leadership • Vision
building/Strategising • Aligning
People/Communicating
• Motivating/Inspiring

What is Vision? Vision is an attractive future idea that is credible yet not readily attainable. It is an ambitious view of the future that everyone in the organisation can believe in; one that can realistically be achieved, yet offers a future that is better than what now exists.

The Leaders’ Contribution – Set the Agenda for Progress
Leaders are dealers in hope – Napoleon Where there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present. Life without Vision is hopeless; Vision without action is empty; action guided by Vision is joy and the hope of the earth. Leaders establish direction by carving a Vision and formulating Strategies and aligning people to achieve the Vision
