       Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to achieve 
       an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more 
       cohesive and coherent. Leadership is a process whereby an individual 
       influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Leaders 
       carry out this process by applying their 
       leadership knowledge and skills are called Process Leadership. 
       However, we know that we have traits that can influence our actions 
       which are called Trait Leadership, in that it was once common to 
       believe that leaders were born rather than made.
       Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, 
       you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a 
       never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience. 
       To inspire your workers into higher levels of teamwork, there are certain 
       things you must be, know, and, do. These do not come naturally, but
       are acquired through continual work and study. Good leaders are 
       continually working and studying to improve their leadership skills they 
       are not resting on their success.
       Factors of Leadership
       Leader: You must have an honest understanding of who you are, what 
       you know, and what you can do. It is the followers, not the leader or 
       someone else who determines if the leader is successful. If they do not 
       trust or lack confidence in their leader, then they will be uninspired. To 
       be successful you have to convince your followers, not yourself or your 
       superiors, that you are worthy of being followed.
       Followers: Different people require different styles of leadership. For 
       example, a new recruit requires more supervision than an experienced 
       employee. A person who lacks motivation requires a different approach 
       than one with a high degree of motivation. You must know your people. 
       The fundamental starting point is having a good understanding of human 
       nature, such as needs, emotions, and motivation. You must come to know 
       your employees' be, know, and do attributes.
       Communication: You lead through two-way communication. Much of it is 
       nonverbal. For instance, when you set the example that communicates to 
       your people that you would not ask them to perform anything that you 
       would not be willing to do. What and how you communicate either builds 
       or harms the relationship between you and your employees.
       Situation: All situations are different. What you do in one situation will 
       not always work in another. You must use your judgment to decide the 
       best course of action and the leadership style needed for each situation. 
       For example, you may need to confront an employee for inappropriate 
       behavior, but if the confrontation is too late or too early, too harsh or too 
       weak, then the results may prove ineffective.
       "(Also note that the situation normally has a greater effect on a leader's 
       action than his or her traits. This is because while traits may have an 
       impressive stability over a period of time, they have little consistency 
       across situations (Mischel, 1968). This is why a number of leadership 
       scholars think the Process Theory of Leadership is a more accurate than 
       the Trait Theory of Leadership)."
       Various forces will affect these four factors. Examples of forces are your 
       relationship with your seniors, the skill of your followers, the informal 
       leaders within your organization, and how your organization is organized.
       "(Although your position as a manager, supervisor, lead, etc. gives you 
       the authority to accomplish certain tasks and objectives in the 
       organization (called Assigned Leadership), this power does not make you 
       a leader, it simply makes you the boss (Rowe, 2007). Leadership differs in
       that it makes the followers want to achieve high goals (called Emergent 
       Leadership), rather than simply bossing people around (Rowe, 2007). 
       Thus you get Assigned Leadership by your position and you display 
       Emergent Leadership by influencing people to do grat things.)"
       academically or referentially specific characteristics of such a group, as 
       in "Evangelical Christians hold certain beliefs…", or "Jewish people 
       commonly recognize Yom Kippur…".
       Be sensitive to the inferences people may read in to the words you 
       choose. Many common expressions have roots in a less inclusive social 
       climate, and only time and education can completely eliminate them (ex., 
       if you are asking if a girl is taken, asking "Do you have a boyfriend?" 
       would be politically incorrect, as it makes them exclusively heterosexual. 
       Instead ask, "Are you seeing/dating anyone?"). By the same token, each 
       cultural group has equal protection from offensive generalizations and 
       slurs, not just a certain ethnic group or gender.
       Respect every individual's right to choose the language and words that 
       best describe their race, class, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or 
       physical ability. Don't get defensive if someone rejects language which 
       dis-empowers, marginalizes, confines, or diminishes them. The ability to 
       name is a daunting power; individuals should play a role in selecting 
       words to describe themselves.
       Nosy Co-worker
       Some people are just too curious, beyond social norm. They are the 
       people whom you want to just shout out it's really none of your business 
       or why do you want to know. The problem is socially or career wise 
       sometimes you can't really lose it verbally on the nosy person in question.
       Sometimes the nosy person has been boss, jeepers, beaver around, you 
       can't catch a break. 
       While most co-workers are just trying to make the time pass by or they 
       really are interested in what you have to say, nosy people always go a 
       step beyond. They make the hair on the back of your neck stand at 
       attention. The reason you have always had that reaction, is why, yes, why,
       you want to know why you need to know so much about whatever the 
       said subject is about me. Once you know your true motivation you will 
       probably react either kindly or unkindly depending on the intent of the 
       nosy person. The problem is that it is not always simple figuring out the 
       why they are asking you stupid questions. 
       The best way i have found to deal with any nosy people is to set them up 
       with their weaknesses. Pick a subject that this person will go gaga over 
       and make up a story. It can be creative to the max or just the opposite, 
       boring enough to put a red bull addict to sleep. This way you can try to 
       track what this person is doing with all that information they are getting 
       from you. They may be a gossip, they may not have a life and they may 
       just want to stalk you because they have no friends. Or it could be 
       something completely out of the ordinary. But usually you will start to get
       some feedback from other folks if this person is spreading it around.
