PREFACE

T he subject of leadership can not be ignored if we are to talk about

increasing company output as well as a motivated teamwork. Leaders are a

“hot cake” in today’s turbulent environment where organisations need to

be constantly changing if they are to remain buoyant. Good leaders are on

ever increasing demand and expensive to lose or hire.

The paper that lies in your hands contains the thoughts and

research that I undertook in the years between 1998 and 2000 during MBA

studies. It has been interesting to learn that Manager / leaders are scarce

and extremely critical now more than ever before. It has also been

refreshing to note that teamwork is now being adopted everywhere. I was

personally elated when World Vision Zambia started talking more about it

and went steps further to implement it. This was done when the Program

Managers begun attending Leadership Training Courses at University of

South Africa (UNISA) resulting in much better relations and work culture.

I must confess that I was shocked to discover that Leadership and

Management are radically different . I have always assumed that they

are one and the same thing. I stand at the apex of my research and trace

my trail, how so different things look! How so mind opening the study has

been!

I have handled this subject in four sections in the following

fashion: Firstly, I have given a general overview of leadership of yesterday

and today. In the second place, I have sought to concentrate on effective

leadership. In doing this, I have shown the nature and marks an effective

leader, how to develop leadership, the results of good leadership and then,

I have wrapped up the whole work by giving my own personal views

about leadership tomorrow and beyond. I have exited the orbit of

leadership by giving some recommendations.

If this work will help some soul, it will much delight the author.

Farewell.

A cknow ledgem ents

I would like to thank all those that helped me in the preparation of this

paper. I salute the entire crew at BARCH computers for putting up with

those long demanding hours typing my scribbled manuscripts. Most of all,

my heart was strangely warmed to think about Jane my dear one. Her

presence in my mind and life made the sweat worthwhile.

Lastly, I salute all the sources I consulted in compiling this volume. I have

listed most of them in the Bibliography
