The Importance Of Leadership And Management

Question 2

A) As an administrator, I would help, direct and influence others who are in the process of attaining their goals, their needs and aspirations of their lives as well as that of the organization. I will lead the people to follow me. I will be the people’s follower, by so doing, I will ensure my followers achieve their potentials by creating a conducive learning environment, ensuring and maintaining a devotion to serving with achievable results, (DePree, 1998 p.130 as cited in Singh, 2016).
