Leadership and
Management
Leadership is said to be everything and nothing.
It is everything because it can be found everywhere in organizations, not just at the top.
Leadership is everything because it is infused in all that we do; it is not sacred. Because
leadership is based on action, it emerges as a function of participation and interaction.

Leadership is nothing in the sense that it seems impossible to define completely.
Decades of scientific study have yet to yield a single definition that fully captures the
nature of leadership, much less articulate a definitive approach to developing it.

Regardless of the degree to which the essence of leadership can be captured in a
definition, organizations believe in its importance. A recent article on Americas most
admired companies in Fortune magazine attributed the success of those companies
bestowed with a most admired status to their leadership. There is an emerging
consensus that leadership needs to be developed intentionally within companies.


Methods employed by Microsoft to increase
leadership skills
Formal programs:
The backbone of most leadership development systems is the formal
program. At minimum, a formal program consists of a classroom seminar
covering basic theories and principles of leadership. The classroom is the
most frequent delivery method with approximately 85 percent of companies
using this venue to engage in leadership development.

Formal programs typically last several days (three to five is usual) and tend to
be delivered in an off-site location. The cost of developing a one-week in-
house leadership development program is expensive, ranging from $75,000 to
$242,000 plus delivery costs of an extra $20,000 to $100,000(Microsoft
estimates)

360-degree feedback:
360-degree feedback, multi-source feedback, and multi-rater feedback are all
terms used to describe this method of systematically collecting perceptions of
a managers performance from different viewpoints.

Rating sources typically include peers, direct reports, supervisors, and
multiple stakeholders outside the organization (e.g., customers and
suppliers). An advantage of such intense, comprehensive scrutiny is that a
more complete and accurate picture of an individuals performance is
obtained.

As a recent Fortune article stated, What your boss, your peers, and your
subordinates really think of you may sting, but facing the truth can also make
you a better manager

Executive Coaching:
According to experts in the field, executive coaching is a practical, goal-
focused form of personal, one-on-one learning .

Coaching may be used to improve individual performance, enhance a career,
or work through organizational issues such as change initiatives. It tends to be
a relatively short-term activity aimed at improving specific leadership
competencies or solving specific problems.

Given that the cost of executive coaching(Microsoft Statistics) from an
external consultant ranges from $1,500 for a single day to more than
$100,000 for a multi-year program (for a single executive), it is
understandable why most firms prefer to keep this as short-term as possible.

Network:
As a way of breaking down functional silos, some organizations include
development activities aimed at fostering broader individual networks. An
important goal of networking initiatives is to develop leaders beyond merely
knowing what and knowing how, to knowing who in terms of problem-solving
resources.

Leadership Institute uses action-learning projects with company-specific
problems as the core content in its development seminars. The project work
is done in cross-organization teams as a way of promoting greater awareness
of capabilities and cross-business assessment of opportunities.

Another type of networking involves the interaction of groups of managers
and executives who have common training or job experiences. These groups
meet regularly over lunches or through electronic dialogue to share their
mutual challenges and opportunities, with a goal of applying their learning on
an informal, ongoing basis.

Top 4 Myths about
Microsoft


Lets start the cOuNtdOwN !!!
4. MicrOsOft dOesNt care abOut
security .


The backdoor vulnerabilities allow malicious hackers to gain access to
unprotected computers, turning them into unwitting bots that spread
viruses and worms to even more computers.
Microsoft employs some of the sharpest minds in the field of cyber
security.
Hackers prefer windows as target due to its penetration in the
market.
3. MicrOsOft dOesNt discOuNt its
software .
While it's true that there's no negotiation when it comes to buying
Microsoft software, the company does offer significant discounts to
education, government, and volume licensing customers.
If Microsoft has their druthers, they'll never sell software again, and
it'll just be software + services, where you're renting their software
instead of buying it
2. MicrOsOft isNt iNNOvative.
Microsoft has a well-deserved reputation in software circles for being
technologically derivative. In other words, Microsoft has borrowed or
bought every good idea it's ever had.
The Harvard Business Institute pinpointed the company's innovative
approach to its intellectual property, the idea of selling software and
hardware separately .
1. Bill Gates is Evil.
Gates may be guilty of many underhanded businesses tactics, but as a
philanthropist, he's poised to become the greatest giver in the history
of the world .
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has already invested tens of
billions of dollars toward the eradication of disease and poverty in
developing nations and eventually will give away all of Gates' wealth.
How evil could that be?
Thank You!
