Challenges of modern leadership

2. Leadership
 Leadership is the
ability of an individual
or a group of
individuals to
influence and guide
followers or other
members of an
organization.

4. 4 concepts of Leadership
 1st Leader
 You must have an honest understanding of who
you are, what you know, and what you can do.
 To be successful you have to convince your
followers, not yourself or your superiors, that you
are worthy of being followed.

5.  2nd Followers
 Different people require different styles of
leadership. For example, a new hire requires
more supervision than an experienced employee
does.
 A person who lacks motivation requires a different
approach than one with a high degree of
motivation. You must know your people! The
fundamental starting point is having a good
understanding of human nature, such as needs,
emotions, and motivation.

6.  3rd Communication
 You lead through two-way communication. Much
of it is nonverbal. For instance, when you “set the
example,” that communicates to your people that
you would not ask them to perform anything that
you would not be willing to do.
 What and how you communicate either builds or
harms the relationship between you and your
followers.

7.  4th Situation
 All situations are different!!!
 What you do in one situation will not always work
in another. You must use your judgment to decide
the best course of action and the leadership style
needed for each situation.
 For example, you may need to confront an
employee for inappropriate behavior, but if the
confrontation is too late or too early, too harsh or
too weak, then the results may prove ineffective.

8. Transformational leadership
 The transformational leadership approach
encourages, inspires, and motivates employees
to innovate and create the change necessary to
shape the future success of the company.

 Jack Ma failed college entrance 3 times
 Afterwards, he and his cousin went to a hotel to
apply for a waiter job where his cousin was hired
and he was rejected on the grounds that he was
too skinny, short, and in general a bad
appearance.
 Ma applied for 31 different odd jobs and was
rejected for every one.
 Ma told interviewer Charlie Rose. "I even went
to KFC when it came to my city. Twenty-four
people went for the job. Twenty-three were
accepted. I was the only guy [rejected]

11. Early career
 In 1994, Ma heard about the Internet and also
started his first company, Hangzhou Haibo
Translation Agency
 In early 1995, he went to the US on behalf of the
municipal government with colleagues who had
helped introduce him to the Internet.
 Although he found information related to beer
from many countries, he was surprised to find
none from China.

12.  He and his friend created an "ugly" website
related to China. He launched the website at 9:40
AM, and by 12:30 PM he had received emails
from some Chinese investors wishing to know
about him.
 This was when Ma realized that the Internet had
something great to offer.
 On 10 May 1995, they registered the domain
chinapages.com in the United States. Within
three years, the company had made
US$800,000.
 Ma began building websites for Chinese
companies with the help of friends in the US.

13.  From 1998 to 1999, Ma headed an information
technology company China International

16. Jack Ma Leadership Quotes
 “Leadership is your instinct, then it’s your
training”
 “A leader should incentivize, but not with
money”
 “Education is challenging. If we don’t change how
we teach, we’re going to be in trouble 30 years
from now.”
 “You don’t have to sacrifice your sense of humor
just ‘cause you’re the boss.”

17. Conclusion
 Effective leaders take a personal interest in the
long-term development of their employees, and
they use tact and other social skills to encourage
employees to achieve their best. It isn’t about
being “nice” or “understanding”—it’s about
tapping into individual motivations in the interest
of furthering an organization goal.

18. Conclusion
 Mr. Jack Ma is a man who failed in life many
times, whether learning or working. Before setting
up Alibaba, he did not do well at technology. He
was first introduced to the internet in 1995 when
he was 31 years old. He did not know how to
manage people. However, his company reached
the 8th richest in the tech industry in 2016, and he
had more than 66,000 full-time employees.
