A manager does the right thing. A good leader does things right. \n\nThe most important personal qualities of a leader is wisdom. Always able to apply the best possible solutions to resolve problems or maximize efficiency  (and this doesn't means always do things by the book but at the same time, he/she must able to do this appropriately)\n\nWith wisdom, a leader will be able to think wisely and bring the best out of everyone including themselves and create a close bond and enhance the morale for their team.\n\nTo be a good leader doesn't always need to be a expert in the feild of their work in fact some of the top leaders in history wasn't a expert in any field apart from leadership. They were very capable in dealing with human relation that they can hire expert in many field to specialize the field of work. \n\nOf course, being a knowledgeable leader is not a bad thing too but being a true leader is far more important.

1) Strong communication skills. Both written and verbal. Look for opportunities to do speaking in front of a group. The quiet ones stay in the corner. Readers are leaders, so get your nose into some development books.\n\n2) Dedication. Do whatever it takes to get the job done. Whatever amount of hours. Give all of yourself to the job. Don't just have the attitude of I'm working my 8 hours and I'm gone.\n\n3) Be a team player. You can't succeed by yourself. Help others on your team be successful. "You can have anything in life you want if you help enough other people get, what they want" -quote from Zig Ziglar.\n\n4) Treat others with respect. Remember the names of people you just met. Take a genuine interest in them. Read How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie and practice what is in there.\n\n5) Be someone that other people want to be around. Make your work environment as fun as it can be.

Think about the levels of hierarchy. If it is a flat structure, this will enable decisions to filter down throughout the organisation much quicker- think how this would be a great help in a fast paced industry environment. \nNow think about the opposite and talk about bureaucracy. \nNow talk about how the structure can affect culture, for eg in a tall organisation there will be more opportunity for promotion (an incentive) but at the same time it may mean more departments (talk about a culture of rivarly instead of teamwork and how this will affect performance)\nevaluate how different structures can work and how the success depends on the type of industry and also on others things other than structure for eg the business plan\n\nHope this helps, any questions email me

Brute intimidation only works as long as you can stay top dog.  But rest assured, too much of that, and the natives get restless and boot your sorry a$$ when they get the chance.\nA good leader must lead, whether he is popular or not, but work for the common good of his people or his company.\nSo in effect, the best leaders use both qualities to the best advantage depending on the situation to be tackled.

if your a logistical person, good at organising things but not so keen on disciplining other go for higher management. Strangely the psychological requirements for being a good upper level manager is the same as nursing. Problem solving and looking after about 15 things.\n\nlower level management is more people skills, less problem skills.\n\nTechnology?  hmm, if you like designing things and have a good imagination, so so on the maths go for industrial design or architecture.\n\nIndustrial designers do what i imagined engineers did\nengineers do lower level management

Authority is granted, while leadership develops." \nLeadership is not a title. It isn’t having a louder voice or a more convincing style. Leadership comes from having a set of attributes that makes people want to work toward the goals you communicate and to follow the pace you set. I will describe this set of leadership attributes, as I see them, in the article below.\n\nFirst, let me tell you a story. I was bird hunting in the south not too long ago with a guide and his mule wagon. On one particular day, we wanted to take a shortcut, but the mules weren’t cooperating. The problem was, he was asking the mules to take a different path than they were used to following on a routine basis. After trying to encourage the two mules, my guide eventually hopped down from the wagon, talked to the mules eye-to-eye, then lead them on foot. They followed. The lesson I learned from that experience is that a good leader will recognize when he needs to hop down from the wagon and lead the way, particularly in a time of change from what is routine.\n\nSo what are these attributes that leaders have in common? Let me share my opinion. \n\nSELF-IMPROVEMENT\nI don't believe anyone can be an effective leader unless they are always working to improve themselves. People change, systems change, competitors, processes and economics change. Leaders who never change their habits and who fail to adapt will quickly become irrelevant. In addition, there is something endearing about a boss or a company CEO who is seen with a book under his or her arm. “If my leader is always striving for more, perhaps there is hope that I can grow, too.”\nI have a definition of leadership that I share with others in my company: Leaders have the ability to consistently capture, hold, and focus people’s attention on the mission — and their individual part in achieving it. At first glance, it is a simple definition. Only by breaking apart the sentence and further explaining the significance of each word can I truly express my philosophy of great leadership. \n\nCONSISTENCY\nConsistency is crucial. It means that day-in and day-out, the people you lead know you will get down off the wagon when necessary. Or put another way “you will walk the talk” Consistency means you completely understand that leadership is not a part-time job. Every action you take, decision you make, and criticism or praise you utter is observed and internalized. Leaders who are inconsistent in their behaviors have a hard time getting people to follow. Your people count on you to see the glass half full, with a plan in place to fill it the rest of the way.\n\nCAPTURE ATTENTION\nMost leaders are exceptional at capturing the attention of their people. That is to say, they are "captivating." What makes them so? They have a tremendous amount of positive energy, enthusiasm, and confidence. They have passion. Some have a sense of humor. Others are adventurous. While personal styles are different, the end result is people want to listen to what a good leader has to say. I have always thought that a leader could personify a captivating personality simply by following The Scout Law; scouts promise to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.\n\nHOLD ATTENTION\nTo be a good leader, you first must be a good follower. Those who aren’t interested in what others have to say are seen as narcissistic. The only way people will give you their continued attention is if they feel you have empathy for their lot in life, and are open-minded in how you view problems, opinions, and opportunities. Most importantly, people want feedback on how they are performing and how they can improve. I like to say that “feedback is the breakfast of champions”. Believe in people. Build them up. Never destroy them. Become a practitioner of public praise and private coaching. Do you celebrate victories with your people, no matter how sm

I'm in HR and the best qualities would be patience, tact, and calmness.  I never know what I'll be faced with when I go into work.  It's like being the police/psychologist of the office.  A lot of conflict and trouble is avoided by tact and remaining composed.

The Accidental Leader: What to Do When You're Suddenly in Charge by Harvey Robbins and Michael Finley\n\nYou can buy it used, through Amazon, for less than a cup of coffee.  It is a great read!  They also have a team management book, Why Teams Don't Work,  that is great!

I think the phrase you really want is "Total Quality Management" not leadership.  You may also want to look at "Sigma 6" and "Just in time inventory" as google searches if you're looking for that sort of information.

Inorder to truely find a major that is the "most useful" or "best" you have to decide what you really like doing.  Do you want to work with people or work best alone and with machines?  That is the first place to start.  If you enjoy people or building things then I would go with business or organizational psychology.  Both will help you to relate to people and build a strong cohesive business.  Other than that you have to decide what is best for your personality, not what is most popular.

Coercive leadership style has a negative effect because it is based on the concept "Do this, do that", and that is de-motivating for the workforce. It is useful when the company needs a complete turnaround or when employees are under-effective and it is your last resort.\n\n Pace-setting leadership style is only effective when employees are well trained, have a lot of skills, and experience on the job. This style has a negative effect when the pace is too fast and the objectives set by the leader are too difficult, or impossible, to achieve. \n\nThe six main leadership styles are: Coercive, Authoritative, Affiliative, Democratic, Pacesetting and Coaching. It is necessary to be flexible enough to know which to choose according to the situation and to establish objectives that are specific, measured, attainable, and time-oriented.

A good leader defines the mission clearly for his troops and gets everyone to agree that the mission can be completed. When changes occur, then clarity and buy-in again play a huge role in success.\n\nCan you create an incentive for performance? Can you measure performance? \n\nDon't reprimand someone in public. Do it privately. Don't yell. \n\nAsk questions of your troops rather than constantly making statements. Figure out how to ask a question to achieve the same thing you could achieve if you gave an order. This, again, is buy-in. \n\nThe best leaders assign the right work to the right person. The best leaders hire the right people for the right job and carefully cull the workforce for slackers.\n\nDon't be too friendly with your suborinates, but make an environment where everyone would say you were friendly and professional.
