Key Elements of Leadership
• In the Diamond General Model of Leadership, four
interconnected elements constitute leadership:
– Leader. Each leader has unique skills and attributes.
– Task. The set of tasks facing the organization, as perceived by Leader
and Others. Strategic Thinking.
– Others. The followers, with skills and attributes of their own.
– Organization.
– Organizational structure and systems and culture, etc., which can help
or hinder the accomplishment of tasks.
Leading Ethically
• The relationship between leader and followers raises
significant ethical questions:
– Is it one person’s right to influence others?
– Who decides what kinds of influence are acceptable?
– How do followers view the leader’s efforts to
influence them?
– Do we have the right measures for assessing
leadership outcomes?
– Who decides what those measures are?
– To what extent should we attempt to influence our
environment, or let our environment influence us?
