COME AGAIN … WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?

            Today we discussed what leadership means to us. I consider leadership as a progression that is in the long run involved with nurturing change,  in comparison to the concept of management, which I believe implies preservation or continuation. In my thought pattern leadership suggests a course of action where there is drive or movement from something or wherever I am at this point to some impending status, position, circumstance or condition that is unusual or distinctive.

            Leadership also denotes intentionality, in the perception, the suggested change is not accidental like a change for the sake of change sake. Leadership is aimed at some upcoming end or situation which is anticipated or respected. As a result, leadership is a process with a purpose which is innately is value based.

            In harmony with the belief that leadership has to do with change, my interpretation of the “leader” in essence is a change negotiator, one who promotes change. The question may arise are leaders not necessary for those who simply hold formal leadership statuses; on the contrary, all individuals are impending leaders. Besides, given that the perceptions of leadership and leader this suggest that there are additional individuals participating, leadership is, by definition, a collective or group process.

            To sum up my concept of leadership I believe that leadership is comprised from the following characteristics: leadership is involved with encouraging change. Leadership is essentially value based. All individuals are conceivable leaders and leadership is a team process.

            When we grouped together many questions from these expectations were addressed. We can apply them to our verge project as we go through the process of development.

What ideals should influence and direct the leadership course of action?

What ending is our leadership endeavor aimed at?

How do different personalities, individuals and teams instigate change?

How is a leadership group created or even shaped?

How must leadership teams operate?

What options to the conventional leader- follower relationship are utmost effective?

And my famous question is…
What are the greatest successful means of grooming young individuals for this type of leadership?

2010 Global Innovation Report

JAN 31 2011

NEW REPORT ON THE STATE OF GLOBAL INNOVATION

Innovation levels, as measured by patent volume, shifted across 12 major technology areas from 2009 to 2010, according to the second annual analysis of world patent activity published by the IP Solutions business of Thomson Reuters. The 2010 Innovation Report: Twelve Key Technology Areas and Their States of Innovation tracks patent activity in key technology areas using the Thomson Reuters Derwent World Patents Index^® (DWPI^SM) database, the world's most trusted source of patent information.

The data in this report was compiled using the Thomson Reuters DWPI database, aggregating granted patents and published applications (examined and unexamined) from January 1 through December 3, 2010. The study tracks unique inventions within the categories of Aerospace, Agrochemicals & Agriculture, Automotive, Computers & Peripherals, Cosmetics, Domestic Appliances, Food, Tobacco & Fermentation, Medical Devices, Petroleum & Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceuticals, Semiconductors, and Telecommunications.

Key findings between 2009 and 2010 innovation data include:    
  Aerospace technology area blasts into a new orbit: In addition to increasing overall     activity by 25% year over year, the largest aerospace subsector increase from 2009 to 2010 occurred in the field of Space Vehicles and Satellite Technology, which jumped up 108%. The three companies in this area were Japanese manufacturer Sharp, followed by Korean manufacturers LG and Samsung.

      

Semiconductor innovation short circuits: The Semiconductor technology area saw the

largest drop in innovation activity across the 12 areas tracked, falling 9% last year. The drop

was driven by subsector declines in Integrated Circuits; Discrete Devices; and Memories,

Film & Hybrid Circuits. The one Semiconductor subsector showing growth in 2010

was Materials and Processes. The innovators with the most patent activity in this subsector

were Korean manufacturers Samsung and Hynix Semiconductor, followed by Japan's Toshiba.

      

Computers & Peripherals tops the list of the most innovative technology areas with the

highest volume of patent activity for second consecutive year, despite an overall

decline from 2009: The Computers & Peripherals technology area published 212,622 unique

inventions in 2010, earning it the top slot among the 12 areas in the analysis. However, this is a

6% decline from the level seen in 2009.
