INTRODUCTION

leadership also described as individual’s capability for influencing, encouraging and enabling
other to contribute towards the success of firm. Additionally, with effective leadership, it may
develop a vision and may inspire people to form it a reality (Barr and Dowding, 2019). While
one other side, management is incorporates of controlling a group or set of firms for attaining an
objectives. It is vital as this assures optimal usages of resources and they encourage people for
putting its best performance. The main aim of this report is to describe the key issues of
leadership and management as well as reflection on leadership. This can be accomplished
through considering some of the points that are what is involved in being a successful leader, a
good leadership is developed, difference among management and leadership. Apart from this,
learning about leadership from my own experiences is also highlighted in this report.
MAIN BODY
What is involved in being a successful leader?
Successful leaders are considering being an influencer who may encourages, inspiring as
well as obtaining effective out of its individuals. Moreover, they are power and intellect behind
its firm and are visionaries charged with steering its brand around. So, in being successful
leaders various things is involved that are concentration, motivation and others. Among various
motivations is one of the essential aspects that is effectively involved in being successful leaders.
In general motivation drives towards nearly actions of any one lives (Bush, Bell and
Middlewood, 2019). Additionally, motivation is undertaken to be an incredibly powerful forces
into individual’s life as well as is also a part of human nature. As each and every individual
needs a “why” in their life to push towards in doing any work. Like so the motivation in leader’s
life may at times to be incredibly challenging, their advantages may mean the differences among
an exceptional team as well as floundering one.
At initial level, successful leaders motivates enables a group to attain their objectives. In
case anyone is not motivated to do the task, thereafter nothing is going to be done. This does not
obtain more plain and simple than that. Furthermore, depending upon person’s personality as
well as past experiences, leaders get motivated for leading for variety of reasons. Few reasons
beside it are that intend to be egotistical, selfish, while others are much pragmatic and altruistic.

But the leaders whose sole motivation is egotistical generally perform not effectively. Although,
few successful leaders can be motivated through ranges of reasons that incorporate some
selfishness. So, through analysing their motivations to be a leader, it may obtain insight within its
style of leadership, which could be assists in developing a successful leader.
Motivated by skill development
Few leaders pursued leadership after they compared itself to its leaders. In case it monitor
leaders around themselves as well as feel confident which they might perform its jobs at least
and they perform or even much effective, this could be encouraged to undertake upon leadership
role (Bhaduri, 2019). in case it have integrity and are responsible, outgoing and emotionally
stabilise; if they enjoy challenge, issue resolving as well as strategizing; in case they thrive upon
challenges as well as changes that it probably are leadership material. Also, if it seeks out as well
as enjoy extra accountabilities that they could be feeling the pull towards driving others (What
Motivates You to Be a Leader?, 2019).
Motivated by results:
Successful leaders are generally result oriented. moreover, they often become paying
attention to leadership positions when it believe something requires to be done as well as do not
view this happening unless it jump into and develop it happens. additionally, in case they are
involved towards a project, mission, or goals, they could identify itself encouraged towards
leading even if they had ever consider themselves a good leader. In addition to this, if leaders
have efficient ideas as well as an expectation to execute them, they would desires to be
successful leader (Golensky and Hager, 2020). Also, enjoying being successful and highly
motivated towards their work. They feel passionate regarding develops a much essential
contribution are overall factors which may encouraged individuals to be a successful leader.
Therefore, from the above analysis, it has been determined motivation is significantly
involved in being a successful leaders. The key reason behind this is that motivation is
undertaken to be an incredibly powerful forces into individual’s life as well as is also a part of
human nature. Additionally, this enables leaders to influence their team member and get the task
done in effective and efficient way and obtain fruitful results.

Can a good leadership be developed and if so how?
Yes, a good leadership is developed. With various ways of defining leadership, it somehow
specifies that good leader is developed. In addition to this, leadership is all about performing
three things that are as follows:
 Initially, leaders develops a vision, it have a pictures of upcoming times they may
describe so others may monitor it. The vision could not have any precise objectives or
numbers, but this does states the reality of future. Additionally, this can be tough to
attain, but is not impossible. There could not be any price plan but there is a road map.
 Secondly, leaders develop alignment. They inspire individuals to perform their task
towards vision as well as articulate how that can be attained. Also, it could accomplish
alignment by rousing speeches, charisma, personal loyalty, rational arguments and many
others. This is not so how leaders formed alignment but it work to do so.
 Third one is leadership is deployment. Herein, leaders undertake infinite resources as
well as ascertain how to attain its vision. Moreover, these deployment decisions develop
the strategic direction.
So, once leadership is translated within vision, building alignment as well as impacting
deployment. This becomes tangible as well as can be formed.
Apart from this, in respect of “NO” leaders are not being developed. So, the initial reason of
it represents the DNA. All individuals are blessed with innovative inherent abilities which have
abilities as well as limitation. Additionally, they do not have the competencies to form the
scientific genius of Einstein or the artistic abilities of Michelangelo or psychomotor genius
Michael Jordan and others. They might certainly practice, study and develop its competencies.
But at similar point it reaches the limits of its capabilities (Hassi, 2019). In addition to this, it is
true related to leadership skills. Through they may learn, practice as well as develop their skills
of leadership, it also have inherent individuals limitation. Few of them are much intuitive into
how they observe the world. That creates a vision formation simple. Few of them are inherently
extroverts which form communications as well as developing alignment. Also, the leadership
such as all others competencies may only be developed towards limit of its potential.
The other part of “NO” is embedded into their character. Through period, it reach maturity,
they have formed personal values, ethics and character traits. Few of those personalities might
have been heritably influenced. But wealth of another input has also shaped their valuable
3

systems. Additionally, religion, families, cultures and many more have contributed towards their
value personality system (Field and Brown, 2019). Their sense of appropriate and inappropriate,
of fairness and justice, of integrity and honesty is intensely rooted as well as unlikely to modify.
Therefore, from the above it has been analysed that good leadership is developed or not. The
answer is depends upon their sense of appropriate and inappropriate, of fairness and justice, of
integrity and honesty is intensely rooted as well as unlikely to modify (Iskamto, 2021).
Additionally, the only situation which alters primarily belief systems is compelling experiences
of life they cannot decline as well as those fundamentals disputes without its existent system of
value. It can cause them in reshaping its world view (Leadership development, 2021).
What distinguishes leadership from management?
Leadership is regarded as the art of directing as well as encouraging a group of individuals
towards accomplishing a common goal into a provided situation. While on other hand,
management is described as the set of various philosophies related to intent of organising,
guiding, planning and controlling an entity (Parvin, 2019). Additionally, it is the procedure that
is undertaken with intent of attaining specified objectives. So, leadership is distinguishing from
management can be determined through comparing them on some parameters that are discussed
below:
Parameters of comparison Leadership Management

passionate attitudes regarding

What have you learnt about leadership from your own experiences?
From my own experiences, I have learnt various things about leadership is that leadership
are individual’s capability for influencing, encouraging and enabling other to contribute towards
5

the success of firm. Additionally, I would also get known know that with effective leadership, it
may develop a vision and may inspire people to form it a reality. In addition to this, for being
successful leaders various things are involved that are concentration, motivation and others. But
among various motivations is one of the essential aspects that are effectively involved in being
successful leaders. Motivation drives towards nearly actions of any one lives. Additionally,
motivation is undertaken to be an incredibly powerful forces into individual’s life as well as is
also a part of human nature.
Furthermore, I have also learnt that leadership is being developed also or not. This totally
depends upon their sense of appropriate and inappropriate, of fairness and justice, of integrity
and honesty is intensely rooted as well as unlikely to modify. Additionally, the only situation
which alters primarily belief systems is compelling experiences of life they cannot decline as
well as those fundamentals disputes without its existent system of value. It can cause them in
reshaping its world view. Apart from all these, I would also learn that the leadership is
distinguishing from management. As Leadership concentrates mostly upon modifying the
approaches on how things are performed as well as would do much for bringing change to firm.
Leaders are generally risk takers and they set direction as well as work with individuals to attain
the expected objectives. Additionally, they have the power to influence individuals through using
effective styles which acknowledges others more than themselves. While on other side,
management would concentrates much upon bringing stability towards firm as longer as regular
routine is maintained. They run administration as well as resources of firm. Also, they ensure
daily planning and performing business. They have the power to rule its subordinates. Also, they
are paid to get work done and then perform in the time and money constraints.
CONCLUSION

essential role. As leadership is effective for developing a vision and may inspire people to form it
a reality. While management is vital as this assures optimal usages of resources and they
encourage people for putting its best performance. Moreover, motivation is significantly
involved in being successful leaders. The key reason behind this is that motivation is undertaken
to be an incredibly powerful forces into individual’s life as well as is also a part of human nature.
Additionally, this enables leaders to influence their team member and get the task done in
effective and efficient way and obtain fruitful results. Along with this, good leadership is
6

developed or not. It totally depends upon their sense of appropriate and inappropriate, of fairness
and justice, of integrity and honesty is intensely rooted as well as unlikely to modify.
Additionally, the only situation which alters primarily belief systems is compelling experiences
of life they cannot decline as well as those fundamentals disputes without its existent system of
value. It can cause them in reshaping its world view. In addition to this, leadership is
distinguishing from management on some parameters such as style, focus, and many more.
