Will the new technology lead to new opportunities? What is the shape of the "perfect" leader and does he or she exist? There are no perfect leaders, that is why good leaders are always trying to improve themselves through self-study, training, education, mentorship, making mistakes and then learning from them, etc. Since there are no perfect leaders, it is hard to build a good leadership model, which is why there are hundreds of them. But, we can be sure of a few things that good leaders have: A vision of the future (where are we going). The ability to encourage followers to jump into that experience (work through the many changes that are required to achieve that vision). A love of self-improvement for themselves and their followers. This love makes them good coaches and mentors. Empowering their followers to get things done (delegates). Does a leader need to be motivated? How can leaders maintain themselves to stay motivated? A leader definitely has to be motivated; those who are not will quickly be seen as frauds in their followers' eyes as they expect their leaders to be enthusiastic about their work. Motivation comes in two forms: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic motivators come from the outside. For example, one reason that I go to work is that I need to make a living in order to survive. Intrinsic motivators come from within. For example, another reason that I go to work is that I get a great deal of satisfaction when I accomplish a difficult task. Good leaders set and achieve goals that allow them to get a healthy balance of both motivators. Although many people believe that intrinsic motivators are the best, that is not necessarily so. Often, the extrinsic motivators lead us into new situations and then our love for doing it (intrinsic) carries us through and on to new heights. Does every manager need to be a leader? In which way do you see that new technologies will affect leadership and leaders? What is the relationship between leaders and followers? I see leaders as change agents who guide their followers onto new heights, while along the way, they develop and grow their followers. A leader's two driving goals should be make the organization a success and that if the leader should leave, then he has enough trained and developed people to fulfill his shoes. Does a leader need power? How can a leader avoid being corrupted by the power? What's the worst fault a leader can have? The role of principles of leadership is so extensive that it puts one to think - isn't a good leader a kind of superman? How can that be? Leadership is like many other difficult skills --it takes skills and practice. That is why it is important to develop leaders throughout your organization; although you can learn the knowledge and the skills in a short period of time, it takes plenty of practice to get it right. Senior leaders should always be coaching and mentoring their subordinates on the leadership continuum. Can an "excess" of leaders turn into a problem?
