Leadership & Management (GMA)

Ensuring good governance remains high on the agenda of public bodies and ensuring those promoting good governance have the right knowledge and skills is essential. Good corporate governance is not an end in itself. It is a means to create market confidence and business integrity, which in turn is essential for companies that need access to equity capital for long term investment. Access to equity capital is particularly important for future oriented growth companies and to balance any increase in leveraging.
If management is defined as getting things done through others, then leadership should be defined as the social and informal sources of influence that you use to inspire action taken by others. It means mobilizing others to want to struggle toward a common goal. Great leaders help build an organization’s human capital, then motivate individuals to take concerted action. Leadership also includes an understanding of when, where, and how to use more formal sources of authority and power, such as position or ownership. Increasingly, we live in a world where good management requires good leaders and leadership. While these views about the importance of leadership are not new. competition among employers and countries for the best and brightest, increased labor mobility and hyper competition puts pressure on firms to invest in present and future leadership capabilities.
