本次课教学内容：

Part One: Lead in game- Guess Who?

Students work in groups and come up with the name of a leader you admire(real-life examples from business, politics or acdemia etc). Then try and describe that person to other groups (at least four sentences) and let them have a guess.

 

Part Two:Functions of Leaders

For anyone to lead a team effectively, there are certain functions that need to be undertaken and each requires particular skills in order for them to be executed to a high standard. Some of these functions include:

1.Setting goals

A leader's most important function is to set goals for team members to encourage them to work confidently and enthusiastically. They also then make strategies to achieve those goals.

2.Organizing

A leader's other important function is to organise the group of people into a task which they can perform effectively. They are required to know how to assign the roles to the individuals as per their ability to bring out the best from them.

3.Motivation and direction

Motivating and showing the right direction to the team or the individual is the primary function of the leader. They require to motivate the team members to work towards achieving their goals and guide them when they face difficulties during working in that direction.

Part Three: Managers VS Leaders

 

 

Part Four: Evolution of leadership theories

 

4.1 Trait Theories of Leadership

The trait theory of leadership suggests that certain inborn or innate qualities and characteristics make someone a leader. These qualities might be personality factors, physical factors, intelligence factors, and so on.

4.2Behavioral Theories of Leadership

Behavioral leadership theory argues that the success of a leader is based on their behavior rather than their natural attributes. This theory believes that leaders are made, not born. Proponents of this theory suggest that anyone can become an effective leader if they can learn and implement certain behaviors.

4.3 Contingency leadership theories

The contingency theory of leadership supposes that a leader’s effectiveness is contingent on whether or not their leadership style suits a particular situation. To maximize your likelihood of being a productive leader, this theory posits that you should be able to examine each situation and decide if your leadership style is going to be effective or not.

Part Five: Transformational leadership under Chinese context

古（案例1）：《诸葛亮“挥泪斩马谡”：刚柔并济的领导哲学》

利用该历史感的案例让学生回顾中国具有以儒家学说为中心的、儒法道释兵各展所长的优秀传统文化。引导学生意识到，诸多先贤对于领导实践具有精彩的论述。学习传统文化下的领导思想实践，传承优秀中华文化和育人实践。

今（案例2）：《探析海尔制——从模式到范式打造管理新生态》

海尔创始人张瑞敏被誉为中国现代企业元年以来创始领导人的杰出代表。作为一个转型领导者，他汲取中西方商业实践的精华，创造了他自己独特的模式，“兼收并蓄、创新发展、自成一家”。

思政融合点: 本知识点选取的案例遵循着由古到今、由政到商的内在逻辑：纵向涵盖历史-现代，体现变革型领导理论的演化发展；横向涵盖企业-非企业组织，体现变革型领导的组织影响力。通过认识世界与中国领导理论的发展比较、历史使命与时代责任的比较、经济组织与非经济组织的领导力比较，实现课程思政目标。

 

作业布置：The Glass Ceiling: Women and Barriers to Leadership

In 2011, there were 12 women in the Fortune 500 CEO role (2.4%). Since then, this number rose by 5% to 41 as of 2021. From these statistics, the percentage of women in CEO roles has steadily increased since 2000, albeit slowly.

一份又一份的调研表明，在多数组织中，各级别女性“消失”的数量正在增加。本次课后作业号召学生关注性别平等，关注女性领导者的全球影响。

思政融合点:随着国家发展社会进步，女性性别优势应该越来越凸显出来。女性细致、灵敏、勤奋、踏实、韧劲等优秀品质，将使得企业更具备竞争力和具备活力。未来，随着社会不断进步，女性更加独立，更加关注自我成长，同时通过不断学习、提高自我能力，抓住把握住时代机遇，未来不仅是财富管理私人银行，还是其他行业，都会涌现出来越来越多杰出女性领导者，成为社会发展的重要动力，为国民经济发展做出突出贡献。
