Leadership is that aspect of management concerned with getting results through people.
A good leader is one who is able to provide leadership expertise necessary for the group to achieve its goals and progress together as a cohesive team. Functional Leadership is a strategy for supervisors and managers at all levels within an organisation to gain commitment from their staff and obtain results from their work teams. The Functional Leadership concept and associated training programs, developed by Professor John Adair, have now survived the test of three decades. Other organisations employing management training based on John Adair's programs include Shell, IBM, International Thompson Organisation, Vickers, RAAF, Harvard Business School and the Oxford Centre for Management. Many companies used Functional Leadership as a preliminary to installing Management by Objectives in the 1960s, Project Management in the 1970s and Total Quality Management in the 1980s.
