Introduction1:17
Leadership is a rich and meaningful word. It stirs up a sense of idealism, excitement, hope and courage. It is a word that inspires us to be our best, a word that we associate with those who have made the greatest difference in our lives. In short, leadership is a significant part of the answer to whatever challenges our organizations may face. In this class we will look at the principles of leadership and why leadership is important.

The Leadership Factor3:00
Is leadership the most important factor to the long-term success of any organisation? This is what we discuss in this lecture.
Effective Leadership10:17
All successful organisations and businesses need effective leaders. The guidance of effective and well-trained leaders is vital to providing direction for the company’s success. Leaders are also invaluable when it comes to formulating and communicating new strategic directions, as well as communicating with and motivating employees to increase dedication and commitment to organisational goals. As a result, continuous leadership skills training and development is essential to making sure that leaders are on the right track. Without leadership, all other business elements lie dormant. Effective leaders can help an organisation to maximise productivity and achieve business goals, whereas poor leadership can only hurt productivity and put the health of the business at risk.
The Five Myths of Leadership3:28
In their book Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge, Warren Bennis and Burt Nanus share results from their study of 90 modern day leaders. From their interviews with these people they concluded that there are a number of leadership myths. In this lecture we debunk some of those myths.
Management VS Leadership2:53
Do you view leadership and management as the same? Are great managers also great leaders and are great leaders also great managers? There are important differences between them. Although there is overlap in their definitions, most would agree that they are not the same.
Two Kinds of Leaders: Controllers vs Empowerers2:50
Although leaders have a vision and ability to make that vision a reality a reality, they differ in the means and tactics they use to accomplish that vision.
