Hi all! Weekend went so fast as I was busy with my school and the whole world was in shock after losing one of the greatest innovative leader "Steve jobs". Steve is the main reason for all the innovative products introduced by the apple. The way steve managed his groups and teams has played the key role in apple's success in global market. He structured the apple team perfectly with clear picture, roles and assignment. Steve was a bold leader I always admire his style of leadership. Steve's presentation in all "Apple worldwide developer conference" showed the confidence he had on his team.
Past weekend in my MBA class I got an opportunity to see a video on Erik Weihenmayer who was a blind person climbed the mount everest with help of super effective team. This shows that if you have a team with unified goal and great leader you can convert impossible to possible. I really want to thank my professor "Dr.Nagao" for sharing this great video. I am planning to share this on my team meeting and going to get my team members feedback. It is always challenging to manage virtual teams since they are not available in person. But if you have right team members with good technology and tools then we can manage virtual teams at ease. I am equipping myself on this area because I will be managing virtual global teams soon.
Are Leaders are born or made? this is debate going for many years. Let's not dive in to that debate. In my opinion leader is the pillar for the organization some of the great leaders are Steve jobs, Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela,..etc they all have different leadership styles. Even in sports a coach is the leader who can change the team structure. Clemson University head coach "Dabo Swinney" has changed the Clemson football team in to a champion team. All he did is he brought the right team members and believes his team 100% thats how the true leader should be one should keep faith on his team, trust them and form a bond between them. But there are many leadership styles followed in sports too if you take coach knight former basketball head coach very famous for strict discipline style of leadership yet he is a successful coach with many championship tittles in his resume.
Leadership skills depends up on individuals attitude and character. In future I like to become a good leader who takes care of his people and believes his people. I hope all enjoyed my blog leadership. I am enjoying my MBA classes I will share all my thoughts which I learned from the class through this blog so please read the blog frequently and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Vino
