Effective Leadership Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: When you think about leaders, you might think about people who break boundaries and undertake exciting challenges. For example, you might think of an adventurer who climbs Mount Everest. Summiting the world's tallest mountain undeniably takes courage, dedication, and discipline. But if you do some research and learn about Mount Everest, you'll find that the people who travel there from around the world aren't always the leaders in their groups. In fact, the individual who actually leads, motivates, and supports the team safely up the mountain is a local Tibetan guide working for the mountaineers. This type of leader isn't always well known for impressive deeds but are vital to the teams they lead. Leaders within organizations are similar in that their most important role is to guide, motivate, and mentor their followers. A leader unifies his or her team and makes it possible for employees to tackle great challenges. This week, you'll learn about what makes a leader effective, studying both the theory and application of several models of leadership.
