Introduction to leadership and activites for the INNOVATE Conference.
Introduction to leadership
Leadership is an ambiguous term; it is defined
differently depending on cultural beliefs, organizational culture,generations and personal beliefs. To become an effective and
efficient leader, it is important to take all of this intoconsideration. To help understand leadership styles, you can put
leaders on a continuum and look at their strengths and weaknesses.The best example of this would be George W. Bush and the Dalai
Lama. Both leaders are thought to be extremely effective andefficient by many people in their country and from around the world
(note this is just a comparison of different leadership styles) andto analyze their different leadership techniques and styles is
fascinating. What kind of leader do you want to be?
It is important during your INNOVATE
experience to think about the list of leadership skills/attributesand to fill out your personal
Leadership Worksheet . This is a work
in progress and something we hope you continue to modify throughoutyour career and life to develop yourself into a global technical
leader.
