•  Word leadership’s root is the verb ‘lead’. Meaning to guide or direct, to show the
way to by going in advance, to inspire. Leader, one that leads or guides, heads a
group of people, has influence or power. (Dictionary definition)

skills and applications that can be reached, observed, understood, learned by
everyone in the organization. (Kouzes, 1999: 40)

for the sake of a personal or group goal.

strategy for their organization. (Paksoy, 2011: 1-60)

SUMMARY
•  Leadership firstly requires to know one’s self.
•  Knowing self well is important while determining the
leadership style.

he/she becomes more powerful. He/she doesn’t have
a battle with self.
•  Strengths, are the most valuable sources while leading.

bring sustainable successes.

way. Otherwise we can be misunderstood and those
misunderstandings can prevent our success.
•  Interactions with others are very crucial for leaders.
Ginzel Leadership Definition
“behavioral choices we make in order to create
a different future”

“A lot of it [leadership] is only relevant in the
context of your history, your goals, and your
aspirations.”

Authentic Leadership
“Everyone is looking for someone to emulate,”

“However, you are likely to fail if you are trying to
be someone else.”

“Its first dimension is The Person: Understand
yourself and improve your emotional intelligence
and other behaviors.”

Linda Ginzel Clinical professor of Managerial Psychology/
University of Chicago Booth School of Business
Authentic Leadership
•  “People can put on their leadership potential
once they look less to external reference
points for strength and work on building their
inner core.”
•  “…assumptions that limit one’s development.
Building a stronger internal framework makes
it easier to handle ambiguity, change, and
other challenges of leadership.” Ginzel
Kurt Lewin Equation
•  Behavior=/f(person)
•  Behavior=f(person+the situation)
•  “As an executive, you don’t have control over
what’s inside the person, but you do have control
over aspects of the situation — incentives,
physical space, or teammates, for example.”
•  “If you want to change behavior, don’t try to
change the people — change the
situation.”Ginzel
Evaluation
•  What do I notice? What’s happening?

•  What worked? What didn’t?

•  What did I learn? What does it mean to me?

•  What can I do differently?

–  Accepting what we have or don’t / who we are or not
–  Accepting the way people around us are
•  We all have some (a lot or a little) of these roles.
•  We're using some of them more naturally.
•  When we reject it, we are exaggerating the opposite
role more. And when we exaggerate, we break the
balance. We can't use it when we need it.
(Ex: rejecting irresponsible behavior)
Why Leadership?
•  Is leadership needed?
•  If yes, why needed?
•  Whay is it always on the agenda?
Leadership
•  It has always been important since ancient times:
–  Discussed for psychology, sociology, political science, management
science, philosophy, military and historical aspects.
•  Has always been a research topic.
•  There is not a simple definition, different aspects are revealed from
different perspectives.
•  People always complain about the lack of it:
“People all over the world longing for leadership: they want to
have leaders who can make credible, reliable and constructive
changes.“ Miller
•  There is no society in which there is no leadership in any dimension
of community life.
•  The characteristics of leadership change as the needs of society
change (Macbeath et al., 1996)
Why Leadership?
•  Human-beings, living in groups, are
socially living creatures.
•  Individuals need a group in order to
achieve their personal goals and realize
a part of their own desires and needs
and feel the need to act in groups.
•  The creation and mobilization of groups
of people with specific goals and
objectives requires some skills and
abilities.
•  People need leaders to manage and lead
groups that can bring them their goals.
Manager & Leader
•  Manager = Leader ?
•  Yes, some managers can be good leaders.

•  Leader = Manager?
•  Yes, some leaders may be good managers.

•  The manager can be defined as the person who tries to


achieve the organizational goals by using all the available
resources and organizational and managerial processes.
•  Yes, managers are expected to be good leaders.

form of research: They observe the human
condition.”

can be mastered with practice and coaching.

differences, but that people can improve on
their current capabilities.”

Strategies and Tactics that Translate Power
and Influence into Practical Results
•  Reduce commitment to the past decisions
–  “At the time, they faced external pressures or information that naturally led
them to act as they did, but now the situation is different and they are free
to do something else.”
•  Be aware of history, build it on it.
–  Past commitments, choices, different dimensions affecting decisions
•  Use scarcity:
–  Increases the demand (EX: available for a limited time)
•  Use Social Proof:
–  We're affected by what the majority says and does!
–  Once a social consensus begins to develop in one direction, it is difficult to
change that consensus.
–  It is amazing to find supporters to help consensus.

Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford University, Leadership


Strategies and Tactics that Translate Power
and Influence into Practical Results
•  Interpersonal Interaction
–  We most prefer to say yes to requests of people we know and like.
–  Flattery : if sincere and accurate, enhances interaction.
–  Being responsive and attentive to others also increases interaction.
–  Mutual acquaintances with friends increase influence on 3rd parties
–  Influence by expressing emotions (requires skills)
•  The timing is (almost) everything!
–  Being early and move fast (not giving opponents the opportunity)
–  Delay to stop
–  Waiting game (make others wait for you)
–  Deadlines to complete accelerates momentum
–  Favorable moments: The most scarce resource is interest in
institutions. It is very critical to create an environment where
people can be interested in the subject!

HARVARD CASE STUDY
GE’s Two Decade Transformation:
Jack Welch’s Leadership
•  Summary with your words?
– What are the Welch’s challenges when he
took the lead?
– Actions and initiatives?
•  At the beginning of 1980s
•  Late 1980s
•  1990s
– What are his lessons learned?

GE’s Two Decade Transformation:
Jack Welch’s Leadership
•  How difficult a challenge did Welch face in 1981? How
effectively did he take charge?
•  What is Welch’s objective in the series of initiatives he
launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s? What is he
trying to achieve in the round of changes he put in motion
in that period? Is there a logic or rationale supporting the
change process?
•  How does such a large, complex diversified conglomerate
defy the critics and continue to grow so profitably? Have
Welch’s various initiatives added value? If so, how?
•  What is your evaluation of Welch’s approach to leading
change? How important is he to GE’s success? What
implications for his replacement?
What is the case about?
•  This case, the latest in a series that have followed Jack Welch’s tenure as
CEO of General Electric (GE),
•  provides an overview of the key actions he has taken and initiatives he has
launched aimed at revitalizing and eventually transforming this highly
diversified company.
•  Beginning in 1981, the case outlines his radical restructuring of the
company in the first part of the decade.
•  It then describes his shift in focus in the latter part of the 1980s as he
emphasizes the need to change cultural values and management mindsets
through programs such as Work-Out.
•  Simultaneously, he starts expanding the company on its newly
restructured base through strategic initiatives such as his globalization
program.
•  The case follows Welch’s initiatives into the 1990s as he continues to
challenge old management norms by emphasizing boundaryless behavior
and stretch targets, while also pushing new strategic agendas such as the
growing emphasis on services.
•  Finally, it describes his action in the closing years of the decade as he
continues to work on GE’s management development while launching his
Six Sigma and e-business initiatives.
GE’s Two Decade Transformation:
Jack Welch’s Leadership
•  Jack Welch’s (CEO of General Electric (GE)) key actions and initiatives transforming
this highly diversified company
•  Radical restructuring of the company in the first part of the decade
•  Shift in focus in the latter part of the 1980s: as he emphasizes the need to change
cultural values and management mindsets (Ex: Workout)
•  Simultaneously, he starts expanding the company on its newly restructured base

•  Welch’s initiatives into the 1990s as he continues to challenge old management
norms by emphasizing boundaryless behavior and stretch targets
•  Pushing new strategic agendas such as the growing emphasis on services.
•  Finally, it describes his action in the closing years of the decade as he continues to
work on GE’s management development while launching his Six Sigma and e-
business initiatives.
•  Throughout, the case focuses on the strategic, organizational and managerial
levers that Welch engages as he leads a two-decade process of transformational
change.
•  Beyond describing his broad implementation approach, the case also documents
the impact his actions have on the company’s sources of competitive advantage.
How successful was Welch during his
first years?

How?
•  “fix, sell, or close” à global expansion
•  Destaffing & delayering à software initiatives
(culture change, process development etc.)
•  Employee layoffs à leadership development
During Late 80s Completely Different Leader.
Why?
Why did he shift from structural change to
software change?
•  Welch understood that he could not downsize and
restructure his way to sustainable growth.
•  After 5 or 6 years of exhausting rationalization of
GE’s strategy, structure, and systems, it was time to
rebuild the organization on its new solid foundations
and revitalize those who would have to drive the
next phase of expansion.
What does Work-out aim?
•  Eliminates bureaucracy
•  Increases productivity. How?
–  The Work-Out process also put management in a listening
mode, role modeling a new relationship with their staff based
less on top- down authority and more on management as a
supportive facilitator of bottom-up proposals and initiatives.
–  The meetings created a safe environment in which frontline
employees were encouraged, coached, and supported to
question and challenge the status quo and to take the initiative
in proposing new ways of doing things.
–  Work-Out also had a culture-changing agenda. It became a
microcosm of the new organizational norms Welch wanted to
embed in GE, values based on speed, simplicity and self-
confidence.
–  Through Work-Out vague cultural slogans were operationalized
and modeled in action.
Why is Neutron Jack now focusing on
people development?
Does he add value with software
initiatives?
