      Understanding the Role of a Leader

      ~~~~~~~

      Leverage Authority

      As a leader, you have authority over critical resources.  What’s the basis of that authority?  Generally, authority could be defined as the power, the right, the clout to influence people and get them to do what you want and need them to do.   But in active leadership we can delineate that definition a bit further. Here are several types of authority that can be leveraged:

      Legal – based on the ability to influence others because of your official authority and position;

      Expert – based on your knowledge and expertise;

      Reverent – based on respect for you and/or your knowledge and expertise;

      Reward – based on the giving or withholding of rewards;

      Punitive – based on the imposition—real or implied – of a penalty for fault, offense or violation.

      What type of authority do you think is most effective?  Well, that will depend on the dynamics of the situation, the culture, your leadership style and your leadership maturity. 

      Take Action:  Think back; who in your past – boss, parent, pastor, coach, teacher, etc. – has used the different types of authority with you and what were the behaviors you exhibited as a result of their authority?   

      Send yourself an email with a self-assessment of your leadership maturity.

      It’s a Balance

      Some managers may find that they are easily focused on the tasks of their team, while others tend to focus more heavily on the people aspects.  Ideally, it’s a balance. Remember – people come to work. That requires a manager to effectively manage both the people and the work demands
