Leadership Report

Learning outcome 1: Evaluate a range of inclusive leadership styles and models

Learning outcome 2: Assess the impact of leadership on organisational culture and diversity management

TASK

"The manager administers, the leader innovates. The manager has a short-term range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. The manager has his eye on the bottom line, the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it."
Warren Bennis, Management Scholar.

"Treating employees benevolently shouldn't be viewed as an added cost that cuts into profits but as a powerful energiser that can grow the enterprise into something far greater than one leader could envision." Howard Schulz, CEO, Starbucks.

"Diversity is the mix. Inclusion is making the mix work" Andres Tapia (Author of the Inclusion Paradox)
