Leadership Theories Unpacked: How Can Understanding Basics Improve Our Approach?

Dear Fellow Professionals,

I am posting a PPT presentation on Leadership and its various theories. This academic presentation aims to help us understand leadership at its core and in a basic sense, thus aiding in improvements. Your valuable comments are welcome after you review it.

Kind regards,
Reshmi Pillai

Dear Rashmi,

A very comprehensive and simple way understanding behaviors of leadership. A very valuable set of presentation. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Cheers,

Leadership traits and categories are well introduced in this presentation. The title of issues in leadership in the last slide looks inappropriate; please check!

I conducted research on leadership in community-managed natural resources in a few countries way back in the year 1999. Some common conditions that communities across different countries mentioned were (in order of priority): Honesty, ability to carry all members along, clarity and articulation, better educated/knowledgeable than themselves, and ability to negotiate with the government, powers, and other stakeholders.

Later, when I checked, many other people from industry, academia, and urban centers have expressed similar views on the acceptability of leadership.

Dear Reshmi,

Thanks for the good presentation about leadership theories. It would have been more useful if you had elaborately covered transformational leadership, which is currently considered the best form of leadership. Alternatively, you could have focused solely on this aspect, as many companies may find it beneficial. Please consider this as a suggestion and perhaps prepare another presentation specifically on transformational leadership.

I hope you don't mind me mentioning that an article of mine on "Transformational Leadership" was published in "The Banker" journal's December 2007 issue, which is published by the INDIAN BANKS ASSOCIATION. If you wish, you can read it for your benefit.

Thank you, Subramanayam. I'll check out the article. The PowerPoint presentation was prepared for an Organizational Behavior lecture for PGDBM; hence, it takes a superficial approach. I will soon post one on transformational leadership.

Dear MJ,

I kindly request you to share your PowerPoint presentation on Transformational Leadership with me. As I am currently in a senior management role, I believe it will be beneficial for my professional development.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,
Amit
