3 P’S OF LEADERSHIP
A mnemonic for leadership would be 3P's - Person, People and Purpose
PERSON
Is leadership a position of office or authority? Or
Is leadership an ability in the sense that he is a leader because he leads?
NO…..
A leader by its meaning is one who goes first and leads by example, so that others are motivated to follow
him.
To be a leader, a person must have a deep-rooted commitment to the goal that he will strive to achieve it even
if nobody follows him!
PURPOSE
A requirement for leadership is personal vision - the ability to visualize your goal as
an accomplished fact; a thing already achieved.
“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an
uncertain trumpet.” Theodore M. Hesburgh
“The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary
and the idealist.” Eric Hoffer
Why are some individuals more effective than others at influencing people?
Effectiveness in leadership has been attributed to
(1) persuasion skills, (2) leadership styles and
(3) personal attributes of the leader.
PEOPLE
To be a leader, one must have followers. To have followers, one must have their
trust. How do you win their trust? Why would others trust you?
Most important, are you worthy of their trust?
Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership knowledge and skills. This is called Process Leadership
We know that we have traits that can influence our actions. This is called Trait Leadership
