AB  - Leadership is a Humpty Dumpty word which people use in widely different
ways. Argues that, on examination, there appear to be three main ways in
which managers may exercise leadership. Two of them are specific to the
manager′s nominal position. Strategic leadership, of the head, is
concerned with path‐finding and culture‐building to create an effective
organization. Supervisory leadership, of the hands, is concerned with
adapting one′s style to the given situation in order to achieve
efficient performance. The third type of leadership is more general.
Inspiring leadership, of the heart, engages with people, giving them an
energizing vision. All managers must exercise strategic and supervisory
leadership of the head and hands – otherwise they are mere
administrators. Good managers go further and inspire people with the
heart – rendering their leadership transforming.
