Article no 1
FAITH IN LEADERSHIP
In the discussion paper, I would like to draw the attention of the readers about the
different aspects or qualities that a leaders must have in them. I personally believe in the term
‘resurgent virtues’. It says about the important qualities in the leaders that they must build within
themselves to make the professional places smoothly going. The word faith has some important
meanings in the workplace. The employees must have the proper faith on their leaders so that
they can work efficiently without any fear. I believe this is very important because the natural
flow of work would be destroyed if the employees work in fear. The employees can follow a
proper technique that would allow them to work very smoothly by the approval of their leaders.
Another important thing in this case is the faithfulness of the employees. This is generally
a two way process. A very significant aspect in this scenario is the fact that the employees must
show the faith to their seniors and he or she must have faith on their leaders as well. This will
make the process smooth flowing. The employees must have the trust, belief and commitment on
the leaders so that the process can be better in all aspects. Then comes the matter of customer
satisfaction. The customer faith and loyalty comes into consideration when the matters of
organizational performance are seen through proper lens. My opinion is the three matters related
to the company performance are faithfulness of the stakeholders, trust and loyalty is very crucial
indeed. There is a serious issue of disjunction between the words ‘faith’ and ‘faithfulness’. This
question can be raised in terms of the company performance and the loyalty of customers,
employees and leaders. If the leaders can motivate the employees properly, this will boost up the

performance of the employees in the positive ways. The employees will feel attached to the
company and they will perform better in the future as well.
Another important aspect is the individual faith in this context. I am of the opinion that
the difference between the public realm and private realm should be seen as the different things
indeed. It is the matter of the individual persons on how they will see this matter of faith. The
religious issues of faith and organizational issues related to faith should be seen distinctively.
There should be a strong separation between the religious activities of a person and public
activities as per my viewpoint.

LEADERSHIP
The name of the second article is ‘Leadership’ i.e. written by Rudolph W. Giuliani. This
article deals with the positive aspects of the leadership. I think it is very important for a great
leader to connect with the great people all the time and surrounded by them as well. This would
be beneficial for all the leaders since they would get the best ideas and concepts in the modern
organizational context. I believe it is very important to have a better teamwork between the
colleagues to yield the best results. This article discusses about the greatest disaster in America
i.e. the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. All the people had been greatly
moved by this incident. This had completely destroyed the mindset of all the people in New
York. I think the terrorists had done the most evil crime the world had ever seen on that day. No
one could accept it. One of the greatest issues that had been faced by the government is the
patronage by the politicians. This had completely been elemental for the leadership across the
country.

3ADVANCED LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES
The politicians used to give the jobs to the people who supported them in the political
sphere and this had become the normal criteria for getting the jobs. I always think this is not all a
clear and sound exhibition of the leadership in the country. I think the best promise for the
politicians would be to provide the common people with all the necessary facilities if he gets
elected. The development they carry out for the regions should be the only criteria to elect them.
They should show the common people what good leadership actually is.
I believe all of us should be able to judge our strengths and weaknesses. This will surely
enhance our capabilities to practice it to the best limits. The leaders have to show their potential
in the best ways. They have to show the people the level of guidance they can provide for their
good. The great people should guide all of you to attain your objectives ion life. If I need proper
help in concerned areas I am not acquainted with, I must go and ask the help from them. If they
can guide me I will also try to do the same with them.

MANAGING IN A TIME OF GREAT CHANGE
The business management in the modern world is full of various issues and challenges.
The managers will have to several issues in their businesses indeed. The competition in the
modern business environment has become a huge issue. This is why the business managers will
have to apply the positive aspect of the teamwork in the modern business management. They
have to focus on the proper team building according to the skills of the employees. It is very
important that the employees are able to showcase their talent in the most positive ways. The
managers are aware of the challenges that they will be facing so they have to build their teams
focusing on the kinds of challenges they will have to undertake in certain tasks. This article

focuses on the team building designs of the various companies like Ford and General Motors. I
believe they used to build their teams to invent their new models of cars. However, it is a matter
of concern that the companies like P&G has gone back to the times of individual accountability
to develop their new designs and products.
I believe that the efforts of team building would surely improve the performance of the
employees and the business organizations. The new team-building campaigns should be
launched by the companies to support and motivate the employees to a great extent indeed. I
think the managers are focusing on building the teams from only one perspective. However,
these three kinds of the teams are the baseball team, football team and tennis doubles team.
These teams would be effective in different perspectives of the organization in many aspects.
These teams have different limitations, the working style of these teams is different and
they are vulnerable in different areas indeed. The demands from these teams are different as
well. So I think it would only be effective for these three teams to work independently and
achieve their targets individually. The motor car companies like Detroit and Ford had focused on
the traditional mass production. I believe they faced some problems during their approach to
individual accountability. This problem could only be solved if they used the team building
process in their organizations. As Detroit had taken up the baseball team strategy, they had to
construct the team all over again and shift their strategy to the football team. Thuss the team
building becomes important.

INTELLIGENT LEADERSHIP

5ADVANCED LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES
This article deals with the different perspectives of the leadership across the organizations
in the modern era. Some of the important elements that I would like to highlight in this segment
are the systems thinking, judgment of the leaders, proper leadership and broad-band capability.
This would be highly important for the process of leading employees. One very important aspect
in this scenario is the fact of the metaphor or frog and the bicycle. If a person wants to be the
successful leaders he or she will have to distinguish his or her roles properly and complete them
in the right manner. A great and successful leader will surely have the capabilities to shift and
change the systems as it is needed. This will help them to overcome the barriers that they have
been facing then. The managers will have to understand this bike and frog system in order to
understand the change and shift in the systems. These two can be considered as two different
systems indeed.
The managers should have the proper capacity to make the distinction between these two
systems of the bikes and frogs. I believe the managers approach this way of systems thinking in
different manners. The managers will be assesses about their capacity of taking the judgments in
the best ways. I believe this frog and bike tool has taken a huge place in the management and
leadership systems in Australia. The bike system is kind of opening up all the parts of the bicycle
and reassembling the parts after mending all the broken parts. Thus the entire system can be
changed for the better outcomes. However, in the case of frog system the entire system can be
made worse if the parts are taken out. This would leave a great hollow in the centre for the
management system. It is up to the leaders which part they would like to employ for the benefits
of the organization. I have noticed that most big organizations conform of these bikish and
frogish systems. Some parts and processes can be mad better by rearranging the processes. In
other cases the system can be affected badly if the frogish things are being implemented. This

will affect the core process of the organizational systems. I believe the managers will have to
implement the changes properly to gain the competitive advantage.

THE NEW LEADERS
It is the global leaders who make the changes in the working dimensions all over the
world. I believe the leaders are the most critical figures who make much difference when we go
out to work. The main role of the leaders is to motivate the employees in the best ways. When I
am working for an organization, it is the organizational leaders who would motivate me for
achieving the objectives. The leaders will have to show their strategies and implement those
strategies to meet the vision of the companies. This can only be done if the leaders can motivate
the employees in the best manner. The role of emotionally motivating the employees will also
work as a very important thing as well.
The leaders may have different works like providing the employees with the proper
motivation or creating strategies for success. The entire success of the leaders depend on the
ways how they implement it. The leaders might get all the things right just as they want it but the
problem will arise if they are not able to drive the employees through the emotion. In this article,
the example of closure of a new news division for BBC had been provided to understand the
issue properly. The executives turned up to mitigate the problems in the best ways. This had been
very important in this context since the executive approached the journalists with a proper
emotional way. This had impacted the journalists in the positive way. He made them understand
the practical aspects of journalism in all the constraints. He told them the good sides of
journalism and the ways they could get the best jobs indeed.

7ADVANCED LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES
It is very true from my side that leaders are the pivotal people who play a very essential
role in the engaging the employees for a better future and performance. The emotional aspect has
to be brought into the scene. If the leaders can handle their emotions they will be able to drive
the employees towards performing better. This could yield better business results for everybody.
They could stay committed to their work by the emotional motivation of their leaders. This will
be the positive impact of the primal dimension of the leaders on their employees. Thus the
organizations would be able to enhance their work performance.
