Psychology of management

“To be a leader no titles 
are needed. Dream boldly. Live beautifully. And to the very last breath be a leader without 
a title.”
As for me, this is a very important thought reflecting the very essence of leadership. To 
lead other people, inspire them, activate them for new achievements one doesn’t need any titles, 
degrees, or regalia. One needs inner strength which is manifested both in cognitive, and in 
emotional, and in behavioral spheres. 
Researches also showthat many effective leaders of both small groups and huge 
corporations always listen to their employees’ opinions. By their aspiration to achieve their goal 
such leaders evoke trust of their employees. 
You get the best from others when you yourself 
give to the people the best you have.
Any group, be it a working or a labor collective feels its 
leader very subtly. And if group members feel that their leader is devoted to the common case, is 
selfless, is poised at success, this adds to his credit even more and motivates employees on 
fruitful work.
Such leaders are often endowed with charisma of self-confidence that arouses their 
followers’ commitment. As a rule, a charismatic leader clearly 
envisions
the desired state of 
things, (s)he is able to 
express
everything in a simple and clear language and possesses sufficient 
resources of optimism to 
inspire
them. 
Apart from outstanding personal qualities, a charismatic person is distinctive by having 
ideas or an idea which (s)he is devoted to, and which seizes him/her completely. It serves as a 
solid foundation of his/her perception of the world and his/her role in it. 
For Jesus Christ this was the idea of mankind’s moral purification, for Alexander the 
Great – the idea of conquest of the whole world, for Lenin – the rearrangement of society in the 
global scale, for Peter I – Russia’s grandeur, for Ghandi – his country’s independence, for 
Chenghis Khan – the onset of unshakable order in an anarchy society. 
Despite of the fact that few possess charisma and innate giftedness, every person, each of 
you included, can develop the leadership capacity.
