Ex.11. Role-play. A young promising employee comes to his current manager and tells him about his desire to start a career in management. The latter is ready to help him.
Ex.12. Discuss the questions.
Is a manager always a leader? Are there born leaders? Who do you call a leader? Make up a list of traits common to leaders. Are there any leaders in your group? Are you a leader?
Ex.13. Read the text about leadership.
Leadership
Leadership is "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal". The leader may or may not have any formal authority.
A leader is a person who has a vision, a drive and a commitment to achieve that vision, and the skills to make it happen. Leaders see a problem that needs to be fixed or a goal that needs to be achieved. It may be something that no one else sees or simply something that no one else wants to tackle. Whatever it is, it is the focus of the leader's attention.
It is not enough to just have a vision. Lots of people see things that should be done, things that should be fixed, great step forward that could be taken. What makes leaders different is that they act. They take the steps to achieve their vision.
Leaders have the strength to move their vision forward despite all the obstacles, despite all the people saying it can't be done, it's too costly, we tried that before, or a dozen other excuses. The true leader perseveres and moves forward.
If you make the transition from manager to leader, you will achieve the success you truly want in your management career.
