Best Leader
INTRODUCTION

That I had chosen is Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad which is our Malaysian fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia. He is one of a good Malaysian politic leader. He held the post for 22 years from 1981 to 2003, making him Malaysia's longest serving Prime Minister. His political career spanned almost 40 years.
Born and raised in Alor Setar, Kedah, Mahathir excelled at school and became a medical doctor. He became active in the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), Malaysia's largest political party, before entering parliament in 1964. He served one term before losing his seat, before falling out with the then Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman and being expelled from UMNO. When Abdul Rahman resigned, Mahathir re-entered UMNO and parliament, and was promoted to the Cabinet. By 1976, he had risen to Deputy Prime Minister, and in 1981 was sworn in as Prime Minister after the resignation of his predecessor, Hussein Onn.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad had achieved lot of achievement during being a Prime Minister of Malaysia. He brings many good programs, mission and vision to Malaysia such as “Wawasan 2020”, first Malaysia cars”Proton “, good education system and many more. There were lots of changes happen in Malaysia during his Management. Although he was rise from an ordinary family, he becomes a successful person in his life.
This is indeed the great achievement of Tun Dr Mahathir in his twenty-two years as the Prime Minister of Malaysia. In my opinion an award is given to Tun Dr Mahathir in recognition for his achievement in changing, the mental altitude of the Malaysians. We can say that Tun Dr Mahathir is able to change to a certain extent the negative mental attitude of the Malaysians to a positive mental attitude. Tun Dr Mahathir has come with the slogan that change the negative mental outlook of the Malaysians to become positive mental outlook and this has becomes the basis towards making Malaysia an advance country by the year

    “Motives are sometimes defined as needs, wants, drives, or impulses within the individual and are directed toward goals that may be conscious or subconscious.” (Hersey, et.al 2008) A working definition of motivation can be “giving a reason to act: the act of giving somebody a reason or incentive to do something” (www.bing.com) It is important to have a working definition of motives or motivation before creating a plan for it. Motivation or the motives of someone will always depend on the individual, their perceptions, their needs and their beliefs. When a person’s perception is skewed, their needs high and their belief of what can be done that is when trying to motivate them in another direction is difficult. A leader is able to meet someone where they are, understand their perceptions, needs and beliefs and guide them into a new understanding in order to meet their needs and ultimately change their beliefs; in order to motivate them. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (1943) states that everyone has several levels needs beginning with a person’s physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. (Hersey, et.al 2008) According to Hersey, et.al a person’s “needs, wants, drives, or impulses” ultimately drive a person.…

According to the book, business leadership, a leader has the role of helping us understand the current reality and bring a brighter future.

A leader will do this by communicating their vision and objectives. In this assignment the theories of leadership styles used by many organisations will be discussed in detail and the effects of teams and individuals on different leadership styles. This literature will then explain where these theories are used and how these theories have been applied to groups of workers who have worked with a leader to succeed in achieving business goals.

    Many people have different kinds of people to be an effective leader, for example when you ask someone who they think can be an effective leader you’ll be surprised by what some people say. Some will even say that Adolf Hitler was an effective leader and if you really think about it he was. Hitler had the power to influence others and lead a whole army of Nazis. He was able to convince them that they were justified in the killing of innocent people. Hitler guided his army to do exactly what he wanted, how he wanted it. Also, he could empower someone because he knew that he taught the people so well that he wouldn’t have a problem with his army being a failure. Adolf Hitler facilitated his knowledge to his people and to this day some people still carry that with them.…

    Imagine a world without leaders. A leader, defined by Websters Dictionary, is a person who rules, or guides others. When we think of leaders, we think of leaders of things as big as countries or nations, and as small as towns or even schools. Different types of leaders have duties they have to fulfill but one thing that all effective leaders are, is strong willed, knowledgeable, and powerful. In some times in history, it may be true that these three words bring out a side of the word “effective” that is not usually thought of. Effective means, producing the desired or intended result. The “intended result” varies for different leaders. So could a leader be effective even when they do not cause a positive effect to their followers? How about leaders Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Napoleon Bonaparte?…

    I am determined to not only change Malaysia, but to change the world and leave it a better place than when I found it. You must be thinking “That’s impossible. The country is already in bad shape so what makes someone like her think she can change the whole world?” After all, I am only an ordinary student just like most of us here. Do you believe whatever I do would be so insignificant that it would not contribute change to the society or moreover, the world? Let me answer that question for you; No matter who I am or who you are, any one of us has the power to change lives of people anywhere around the world if we take the first step of believing in ourselves. As long as I believe what I start to contribute will bring change, it will matter. Like the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, once said “The people who are crazy enough to believe they can change the world, are the…
