LEADING AND MANAGING PEOPLE1Leadership is a quality of a person to be able to lead people; a leader is a visionary andhas the ability to make others follow his path, to guide them towards a better future. In a person’slife, almost everyone faces this situation where one has to lead a group of people to achieve acommon goal. Likewise, I have received this opportunity to act as a leader in a multiculturalenvironment; I work as a manager in a Japanese restaurant bar where I have to work with peoplebelonging from various cultural backgrounds. To become successful as a leader one needs to have certain qualities; the main organizingideas in my leadership model will be credibility, visions, establishing relationships, empathy.Leadership requires credibility, the clients needs to know that under the particular leadershiptasks will be delivered on time (DuBois et al. 2015). Having vision or goals is very importantwithout goals nothing will be achieved and the purpose of leadership will not be fulfilled.Building relationships with people is also important; establishing relationship with the clientsand the employees is another important organizing idea of the leadership model. I am as a personvery talkative and love to interact with different people building connections with my co-workers is very important to me. Among all the other qualities, empathy is my strongest quality,I can easily relate to the emotions and ideas of people and I try to support others whenever itseems possible.There are certain traits present in an individual, which differentiates that person from thecommon people and makes that person a leader (Fairholm 2015).

One who iswilling to lead a number of people into a new future should have an optimistic approach; thepositivity will flow from the leader into the employees (Northouse 2015). A leader should have

A leadershould always know how to manage time, effective planning of time between personal andprofessional life is a must for the person who wants to lead an organization. My leadership model has been built round three of the core values Multiculturalism,Ethics, and Teamwork (MET) these are the necessary competencies for a multicultural workenvironment. The first of the core value is multiculturalism, as a manager in a Japaneserestaurant, for me multiculturalism is the most important factor to be kept in mind. Due toglobalization people belonging to various cultures are coming together for achieving a commongoal, thus understanding different cultures is important to communicate effectively witheveryone. Multiculturalism involves understanding the values, ideologies and beliefs of differentcultures, so that the requirement of the clients are better understood and the is bettercommunication with the employees, it will be easier to inspire the employees if the ways tocommunicate with them is better understood. Only after establishing a trustworthy relationshipbetween a leader and his/her multicultural co-workers the person can become a good leader andwill be able to manage and motivate them to achieve the common goals of the company.Multicultural leadership is a practice, which promotes the inclusion of various diverse cultures,values and practices. The second core value of my leadership model is ethics; it refers to the values and themorals, which an individual has. Ethics decides what is good and what is bad for a particularscenario.
