There is a great amount of pride and accomplishment to know that you are a leader at your work environment. For some being a leader is easy and for some it takes time to learn and grow as a person to be a successful leader. It may even be hard for people to really distinguish themselves as a leader and not manager. They are two different traits in a work environment.

DECISION MAKING GRID The success of group decision making depends on the people who are engaged in the process of decision making. The decision makers come across a lot of problems which requires different types of decision making processes.

It is the human factor which binds a group together and motivates it towards goals.” One can be a leader without occupying any managerial position, but by virtue of having leadership qualities, one can be a leader irrespective of any position one holds. While on the other hand for one to be a true manager, one should have characteristics of a leader. A manager has a responsibility

Today she is the manager of Flyte Tyme Studios and Productions, and also acts as the executive assistant to the Presidents and owners Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

During this semester, we have learned many, if not all of the major leadership theories and how they play a role in our everyday lives.

Introduction Project management involves the use of appropriate processes to deliver a project focusing on efficiency and operational performance (Shenhar, 2004) within constraints of time, budget, and scope (Kerzner 2009, 2010; Maylor, 2010; Morris & Pinto, 2007; Sanghera, 2010 Wysocki, 2009, 2014). Slack, Chambers and Johnston (2010) argue that managing projects entails technical expertise of people internal or external to an organisation. Further, Nauman and Khan (n.d. p. 1) argue that projects
Leadership Theories The three leadership theories that have the most influenced on my thinking on leadership and leaders are: the leadership grid, servant leadership, and authentic leadership.

Comparison the trait of behavior leadership with contingency, transformational, and transactional leadership models. Leadership is an art to influence subordinates in such a way that they voluntarily and willingly do the pre-specified amount of work in terms of specific objectives.

Left with hardly three days after exams, we picked up crude hardware from our college workshop, and with relentless efforts, developed an algorithm using basic hybrid automata and sliding mode control, which not only solved the grid, but also compensated for errors in hardware. I got a holistic understanding of Robotics after working on mechanical design, embedded systems and artificial intelligence; and found design, dynamics and control of Robots most absorbing. I began teaching
