Introduction:
Leading a team can be very challenging but is very rewarding if done successfully. Youve heard the
expression leaders are born, not made or that persons a born leader. Forget these phrases; no
one is a born leader. Many people are natural leaders because of their strong, magnetic
personality or because of their natural ability to learn rapidly (fast). However, such people are the
exception, not the rule. Because leaders arent born, they must be made (trained).
This module Introduction to Leadership and Supervision will serve as a guide to a cognitive
principle to effective supervision and staff management. This will give learners everything they need
to know to successfully manage teams and meet their own objectives by improving their team's
performance. This training course focuses on management from a supervisory perspective, with a
focus on the skills found people think are most valuable, like dealing decisively with difficult
situations and managing delegation.
Explanations of current management theory and practice will be combined with practical
exercises to give the learners the confidence in their management style.
Objectives:
At the end of the modules, the trainees are expected to:

can call others into a higher state of being, rather than the old style leader who simply knows

ELEMENTS OF LEADERSHIP
1. Moral principles
Moral principles include honesty, integrity, and loyalty. These principles of human
conduct provide direction, solidity, and consistency to leadership.
The key to leadership is the emphasis you place on personal moral responsibility.
You show personal moral responsibility by being honest and loyal.
A strong moral character influences others in a positive manner.
2. Personal example
Leading by personal examples goes along with moral responsibility. Effective
leaders have many different leadership traits, such as know-how, sincerity, and
courage. Which trait is the most important is a matter of opinion. However, if you
show weakness in any trait a worker thinks is important, you lose that persons
respect.
Respect isnt automatically given to a leader because of authority. You have to
earn respect and confidence of personnel working for you by setting a good
example.
Lead your workers; dont drive them.
3. Administrative ability
Administrative ability is more than maintaining logs, records, and other paper
work. Administrative ability is another term for good management practices.
Good management practices include the ability to organize, manage, and work
with people.
Learn to apply a personal touch in dealing with your workers. Always remember,
everyone wants to be treated as an individual who has worth.
Emphasize each persons importance in getting a job done.
HUMAN BEHAVIOR
1. Survival
2. Safety and security

LEADERSHIP ROLE OF MANAGERS
Managers to be successful in their functions must play four basic leadership roles:
1. EDUCATOR
Managers teach job skills to their subordinates
through their daily personal contacts with
them.
By means of formal methods, managers
conduct seminars, workshops, or orientation
trainings for their subordinates.
As educators, managers should be
knowledgeable about training principles and
techniques.
2. COUNSELOR
Managers act as guidance counselors. They
listen to the problems of their subordinates
and they give them advice, or help their
subordinates solve their problems.
3. JUDGE
Managers evaluate the work performance of
their subordinates.
They enforce the policies and regulations of
the organizations.
They are responsible for settling conflicts and
disputes among their subordinates.
4. SPOKESPERSON
Managers should support the legitimate
interests or demands of their subordinates.
They speak for their groups in calling the
attention of top management.
