Democratic leadership in the 21st century
Introduction
Leadership allows us, mainly, to maximize the skills of the people we work with, rescue the best of each and apply it to everyday work. We must create a common objective, values and what is called "team spirit", know where we are going and why. It should be understood that true leaders do not acquire this status simply by means of a promotion, but it is necessary. The more we practice it, such leadership capacity will increase proportionally.
Developing
Leadership in the 21st century
The leader in the 21st century is a person who listens, who communicates and educates, an emotionally expressive and innovative person, who can create an atmosphere instead of making decisions himself. Leadership is usually defined as the dynamic process by which it is influenced on a group or individual to achieve objectives in a specific situation. In the same way that happens with motivation, in leadership each author has designed a general model proposing it as the only successful. For some, the staff must be treated with a hard hand to work. For others, you have to give them freedom and delegate responsibilities to make their own decisions and can be made.
Each person must be directed in a different way. In order to establish an effective leadership system, both knowledge and motivation of the individual should be considered, that is, its maturity. However, most people who occupy leadership positions are located in an intermediate place between the autocrat and the patient coach. Understanding the leadership style, when and how it is effective and how it is possible to improve it, is essential for all leaders, be they are the team that are.
Moral leadership
The moral person is an individual who is consciously occupied and actively in carrying out actions that promote individual and social transformation. We currently live at a time when we have witnessed great accelerated and dramatic changes that have had a great impact on the nature of society.
Human beings apparently have already lost their essential values, which has begun a new stage of disintegration of society we know. Therefore, organizations today are joining efforts to solve some of the most complex problems that afflict whole peoples, since they discovered that scientific, political and technological media have not been enough for themselves.
However, it is necessary in the first instance to define what moral leadership is: moral leadership must be leadership that is fully aware of the dynamics of disintegration and integration that characterize our time and that are aligned with the processes to have a clear visionof the society that is to create and some strategies that will help comply with this mission.
Online leadership
Digital leadership is a strategic management approach focused on the quality and functional value of the digital assets of a company, including emails, digital documents, audible content, images, movies and other content stored in digital devices. Digital leadership has to do with digital commitment, collaboration and accountability.
Digital assets not only include information, but these systems drive digital businesses. The responsibility of the administration to take care of the quality of the system does not begin at the borders or limits of corporate systems. On the other hand, the accountability that digital leadership requires extends beyond the perimeters and understands the importance, and is responsible for the entry data, the processes within the company, as well as the digital output information that the companygenerates through the various ecosystems in which he participates.
Multicultural leadership
It is about preparing employees and employees, belonging to majority or minority groups, to understand, adapt and function properly within a plural company working for plural consumers. The goal is to have a template that contributes to coexistence elements for innovation.
Multicultural leadership surrounds a deep immersion in a variety of cultures, which can unlock ideas about the best way to reach customers, inspire employees and motivate organizational performance in geographies beyond our own base. Although multicultural leadership is often associated with multinational corporations, these principles also have much to offer signatures with limited presence outside a particular region.
Strengthening leaders, providing intercultural skills represents a training effort in aspects of understanding and cultural competence. The multicultural perspective in the leaders of the companies is a task of inclusion of the history, culture and perspectives of the different people, equal opportunities for professional development, and cooperation and harmony between the workforce.
