A paper on leaders
Leadership is an indispensable specific function and organizational behavior process in organizational activities. The leader is the leader of the organization (standing highest, looking farthest, walking at the forefront, guiding strategic goals); Is the commander-in-chief of the organization (the center of organization, coordination, command and control); Is the mentor of the organization (the pioneer, advocate and disseminator of the mission and purpose of the organization); It is the core of organizational behavior cohesion. As a process of organizational behavior, leadership is a process of implementing and realizing the above functions through the specific behavior of leaders. Leaders are composed of the decision-making system and power system of the organization, and leaders include all members of the organization. So the essence of leadership is power-decision-making, organization, command, personnel, rewards and punishments, etc. The role of leaders is to formulate and implement organizational goals; Guide organizational design and staffing; Maintain organizational operation and promote organizational growth; Integrate the management functions of the organization. The process of leaders' function is the process of forming leadership functions. This is not only a science with specific operational norms, but also an art with humanistic care. Emphasizing science and art in the process of leadership is closely related to the quality of leaders. The quality of a leader is a relative standard relative to the quality of the leader, which is manifested in the content and gap higher than the quality of the leader. First of all, the leader's dedication, sense of responsibility and consciousness are higher than those of the leader, and he should bear the responsibilities entrusted by society and organizations, be aboveboard and self-denying. Secondly, compared with leaders, leaders' knowledge and cultural literacy have overall level differences and structural characteristics-science and engineering knowledge explains the mysteries of nature and helps people transform and conquer nature; "History makes people wise, poetry makes people wise, calculus makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, ethics makes people cultivated, and logic makes people long at thinking"; Economics and management make people understand the inside story of human society, etc ... No matter which of the above knowledge points is the center of leaders' integration of knowledge structure, they can show their knowledge level and characteristics beyond leaders. In the final analysis, the quality of a leader must be higher than the ability and quality of a leader-determined by IQ, EQ, physique, personality and experience-to judge, make decisions, be keen, gain insight, imitate, express, infect and learn. What is the role of the differences in leadership qualities expressed above in leadership behavior? If we are based on science rather than superstition, the authority of leadership fundamentally comes from this gap. If this gap gradually narrows, fades and tends to disappear, will the leadership authority narrow, fade and tend to disappear? In the new human society, where the differences of people's consciousness, knowledge and ability are fading day by day, but the personality is strengthening day by day, the new life source of leadership authority can only belong to personalized personality charm. Personality charm is the key to the transformation of leaders' quality into art, and Nietzsche believes that the soul of art is Dionysian spirit; Hegel thinks that art belongs to irrational category; Psychology believes that art comes from inspiration and personality; Sociology believes that art comes from human experience and practice. Using Freud's theory and method to analyze art, art should be the product of the integration of knowledge, cultural literacy and ability in people's subconscious, and then directly rise from "ID" to "superego" life experience. Every art has the power to shock the soul and touch life. But what is the reason why art can directly enter people's hearts, shock them and touch them? Is it a good comedy? Or ugly, cruel and tragic? Perhaps (pan-art view) should be a keen, profound and delicate disclosure and description of their life, nature and life. If we go deep into people's spiritual or conscious world like Freud and explore the shock and emotional principles of human mind, we will find that religion, superstition, art and even science all have the same psychological mechanism. The greater the individual difference of "he can, I can't", the more mysterious and curious this difference is, which has a shocking and touching effect on the soul; The greater the contrast between "id" and "superego", the more the spiritual carrier that reveals and connects this contrast has the function of shocking and touching the soul. Leaders' knowledge, literacy, ability and personality with natural conditions are the elements and sources to form the art of leadership, but leaders' knowledge, literacy and ability can not directly constitute the art of leadership (it directly constitutes the function of leadership); These elements should be integrated into the art of leadership through the charisma of the leader, that is, through the personification and personalization of the artistic mechanism to awaken and reveal the contrast between the "ID" and "superego" of the infected object, and then connect this contrast. The function of leadership can only be transformed into leadership art through the charm of leaders. People with leadership temperament in history are far from extraordinary in personal qualities, but they are good at mobilizing all kinds of high-quality resources within the leading group and focusing the comprehensive quality of the leading group on personal charm. Over time, both he and his subordinates were fascinated by this huge and otherworldly personality charm (halo effect). In the process of implementing and forming leadership functions, leaders make functions and processes artistic, which is to endow functions and processes with the same shocking psychological elements as art and form the same shocking psychological effect as art. The art of leadership is definitely different from the techniques or skills of leadership. Leadership skills or skills are methods, tricks and procedures that can simplify the complex, turn the difficult into the easy, and ease the weight when performing and forming leadership functions, which has a multiplier effect on leadership work. But the effectiveness of leadership art goes far beyond this. If the leadership work and function rise to the realm of leadership art through the charisma of the leader, it can directly hit the leader's heart with the help of the aura effect unique to spirit and art. At this time, any advocacy and preaching of the leader is in the leader's heart and naturally becomes their ideal, pursuit and mission. Any decision made by leaders is thought together with subordinates, which is more forward-looking than subordinates and makes subordinates convinced; Any command, command and coordination of the leader, subordinates feel very clever, and it is something they have to do, so they will carry it out to the letter ... Why is the leader so blind? Because the abstract "superego" in their consciousness has been replaced by concrete and secular charisma and its image. No matter from the perspective of psychology or art, leadership science should be a science that guides practice, so that it has its value. However, in the process of leadership art, as long as you take a half step forward, it is easy to overcorrect. And just this half step beyond is enough to make people feel sick mentally and psychologically. In real life, this pathological phenomenon can be found everywhere, just like idolization of groupies. It doesn't matter if you sing out of tune or not, just listen and be in a good mood. It doesn't matter whether the five senses are coordinated or not, as long as you think about it, your blood will boil. Therefore, in the actual leadership process, we must avoid blind subjective consciousness gaining the upper hand.
