DEVELOPMENT OF DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP

PRE HISTORIC PERIOD

LEADERSHIP IS KNOWN BEFORE SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
LEADERSHIP WAS PRACTICED BY
CAVEMAN
RESPECT AND OBEDIENCE RENDERED TO
THE GOVERNMENT IS BASED ON FEAR
PROCESS OF MOLDING DISCIPLINE IS BY
PUNISHMENTS

DEVELOPMENT OF DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP
MONARCHIAL PERIOD
RECOGNITION OF LEADERSHIP IS BASED ON:
PHYSICAL STRENGTH
COURAGE
INTELLIGENCE
WORD OF LEADER IS THE LAW
DISCIPLINE IS ATTAINED THROUGH FEAR
ONE-MAN RULE WAS MODIFIED LETTER
RULERS WERE ASSISTED BY ELDERS AND
INTELLECTUALS
TOGETHER THEY FORMULATE THE LAW
(EX. KINGS, SULTANS,DATUS,RAJAHS)

DEVELOPMENT FORM OF
GOVERNMENT
PRACTICED BY NATIONS WITH DEMOCRATIC
FORM OF GOVERNMENT
THEY GOVERNED AND RULE THEMSELVES
PEOPLE ELECT THEIR LEADERS AND
TOGETHER WITH THE PEOPLE, FORMULATE
AND EXECUTE THE LAWS
DISCIPLINE IS BASED ON REASONS, AND
UNDERSTANDING AND LEARNING, RATHER
THAN FEAR

THEORY OF EFFECTIVE
LEADERSHIP
THE CONCEPT OF DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
THE ART OF LEADING, DIRECTING AND GOVERNING
THE
BEHAVIOR OF THE GOVERNED
PROCESS OF THEIR THINKING
OBEDIENCE, RESPECT AND COOPERATION RENDERED BY
THE SUBORDINATE IS AFFECTED BY THEIR ABILITY TO
UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY
ACCEPTANCE OF THE ROLE OF THE LEADER BY THE
SUBORDINATE
PROMOTED BY THE ABUNDANT USE AND WISE
APPLICATION OF THE FOLLOWING;
LEADERS SET EXAMPLES BY RESPECTING THE
RULES
EXECUTE THE LAW WITHOUT PARTIALITY
LEADERS MUST BE CONSISTENT SO THAT THE
EXECUTION OF RULES WILL BECOME A MORAL
BEHAVIOR

PERSONS IN NEED OF LEADERSHIP

TRAINING
PRACTICALLY, ALL CITIZENS NEED LEADERSHIP TRAINING
SURVIVAL IN WARS, DISASTERS AND OTHER
EMERGENCIES DEPENDS IN ALL EFFORTS OF THE:
GOVERNMENT
PEOPLE
ARMED FORCES
EVERYBODY IN THE MILITARY SERVICE SHOULD PRACTICE
EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
DURING WARS OR BATTLES
COMPLIANCE TO AN ORDER IS WITHOUT
IMPORTANCE
PESPONSE WILL MEAN DEFEAT OR VICTORY
IN ACCOMPLISHING MISSIONS
EMPLOY ASSISTANCE OF THE SUBORDINATES
THE SUCCESS OF ACCOMPLISHING MISSION
DEPENDS IN UNIFIED EFFORTS

PERSONS IN NEED OF LEADERSHIP

TRAINING
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
PRESENT STATE OF NATIONAL AFFAIR
SOCIAL UNREST(THE PEOPLE ARE NOT CONTENTED
WITH PRESENT AUTHORITY)
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ENTRUST THE FATES OF
CIVILIANS TO THE HANDS OF LEADERS WHO ARE
IGNORANT IN THE ART OF LEADING
ABUSE OF POWER CAN ONLY BE CURVED OUT
THROUGH SELF RESTRAINT OR CONTROL

IMPORTANCE OF LEADERSHIP
TRAINING
IN SCIENCE AND INDUSTRIES
MILLIONS OF PESOS WERE SPENT ON TRAINING OF KEY
PERSONNEL
MANAGEMENT CANT AFFORD TO LOSE MILLIONS OF
PESOS FOR BLUNDERS AND INEFFECTIVE
EXPLOITATION OF MANPOWER
IN THE MILITARY SERVICE
ARMED FORCES CAN NOT STAND TO LOSE NOT ONLY
MONEY BUT COUNTLESS LIVES
LEADERSHIP WILL ALWAYS ASSUME GROWING
IMPORTANCE IN AS MUCH AS MAN IS THE PRIMARY
ELEMENT OF WAR

WEAK POINTS OF NAVAL

LEADERSHIP
1. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
EGOISTIC ATTITUDE OF INDIVIDUALS
INSINCERE INTENTION TO CORRECT MISTAKES
WIDE GAP OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRATICAL
APPLICATION
OFFICERS AND PETTY OFFICERS ADMIT THAT LEADERSHIP
IS A SUBJECT THAT IS VERY EASY TO TALK ABOUT BUT
HARD TO APPLY
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT IS LESS IMPORTANT
ACTUALLY,APPLICATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE LEARNED
COUNTS
RATIONALIZATION ABILITY TO REASON OUT ILLICIT ACTS
FOR SELF PRESERVATION
FEAR OF INVOLVEMENT OF CORRECTING OTHERS
MISTAKES IS ENCOURANGED BY LACK OF SUPPORT FROM
SUPERIORS
OFFICERS AND PETTY OFFIERS WILL LOOK THE OTHER
WAY THAN CORRECT A SEAMAN

WEAK POINTS OF NAVAL LEADERSHIP

2. INSUFFECIENCY OF READING MATERIALS
LACK OF LOCALLY PREPARED LEADERSHIP BOOKS
MOST LEADERSHIP BOOKS ARE US MANUALS
NOT WIDELY DISSEMINATED DUE TO LIMITED COPIES
DEPICT FOREIGN CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
RULES AND REGULATIONS DIFFER FROM OUR OWN
PRESENT GENERATION NEEDS NEW LOCALLY PREPARED
PUBLICATIONS
TO SUIT FILIPINO TEMPERAMENT
WRITTEN IN LINE WITH OUR REASONING
MADE FROM OUR CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
3. DEFECTIVE METHOD OF LEARNING LEADERSHIP
PRACTICE LEARNED ARE ACQUIRED BY ASSOCIATION
WHAT HAS BEEN A PRECEDENT IS WIDELY FOLLOWED AND
ACCEPTED
KNOWLEDGE LEARNED FROM ACTUAL PRACTICE ALONE IS
VERY DANGEROUS
WILL UNDERMINE POSITIVE PROGRESS
FRAUDS, WRONG ATTITUDES AND ANOMALIES WHICH ARE
PURSUED WILL BE ACCEPTED.(BASED ON ITS CONCEPT, FRAUD
AND ANOMALIES IF NOT CORRECTED WILL BECOME PART OF
THE ORGANIZATION)

WEAK POINTS OF NAVAL LEADERSHIP

4. IMPROPER APPLICATION OF LEADERSHIP TECHNIQUES
BELIEF THAT IN ACCOMPLISHING A MISSION, TECHNIQUES
EMPLOYS EITHER BARBARIC AND INHUMAN PRACTICE AND
PERSUASION HAS NO SIGNIFICANCE
SUPERIOR LEARNING IS SO MUCH DEPENDED UPON
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON SUPERIOR AND GOOD HUMAN
RELATIONS
5. MISLEADING CONCEPT ON HOW TO ACQUIRE LEADERSHIP
POSITION
BELIEF THAT WHEN COMMISIONED OR PROMOTED, ONE
AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A GOOD LEADER
LEADERSHIP IS NOT A PACKAGE OR COMMODITY SUPPLIES TO
A MILITARY MAN
NEITHER LEADERSHIP IS A POWER BESTOWED TO A MAN BY
SIMPLE EXPENDING OF COMMISSION
NOR A WONDER DRUG TO TAKE EFFECT DURING STRESS
LEADERSHIP IS THE PRODUCT OF PHYSICAL AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPLEXITIES GAINED THROUGH
EXPERIENCE AND SKILLFULL TRAINING.

DEFINITIONS OF LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP
IS THE ART OF IMPOSING ONES WILL UPON OTHERS IN SUCH
A MANNER AS TO COMMAND THEIR OBEDIENCE, RESPECT AND
LOYAL COOPERATION
IS THE ART OR TECHNIQUES OF INDUCING OTHERS TO
COOPERATE TOWARDS ACHIEVING GROUP GOALS
IS THE ART OF IMFLUENCING MAN IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH
A GIVEN MISSION

TWO FOLD RESPONSIBILITY OF A LEADER

THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE MISSION

HIS DUTY TO HIS MEN

TYPES OF LEADERSHIP
AUTHORITARIAN A PERSON WHO LEANS TOO MUCH ON THE USE
OF POWER OR AUTHORITY VESTED UPON HIS POSITION
USES PERSISTENTLY FEAR OR PUNISHMENT TO REALIZE HIS ENDS
USE VERY LITTLE OR NO APPEAL TO THE SENTIMENTS OF HIS MEN
OFTEN GENERATES INTO A VERY STRICT ACT
NOT ADMIRED BUT VERY MUCH TOLERATED IN THE ARMED
FORCES
PRACTICED IN OLD DAYS WHEN SOLDIERS ARE MERCENARIES
DUE TO LACK OF TRAINING, OFFICERS AND PETTY OFFICERS
STILL PRACTICE THIS TYPE OF LEADERSHIP

TYPES OF LEADERSHIP
PERSUASIVE TYPE
A PERSON WHO BUILDS LEADERSHIP BASED UPON
UNDERSTANDING AND CARE FOR HIS MEN
CONSIDER THE HUMAN ELEMENT IN ALL HIS ACTIONS
HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO THE THOUGHT, MOTION, FEELINGS AND
ACTIONS OF THOSE ABOVE AND BELOW HIM
GAIN AFFECTION, RESPECT AND CONFIDENCE OF HIS MEN BY
HIS EXAMPLES
GREAT MILITARY LEADERS BELONG TO HIS TYPE
MODERN ARMED FORCES DEMAND FOR PERSUASIVE
LEADERSHIP

PERSONAL OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS IN

LEADERSHIP
CAUSES OF FAILURE
FAILURE TO REALIZE THE MAGNITUDE OF RESPONSIBILITY
PLACED UPON THEM
A MISTAKE CONNOTATION THAT A MERE POSITION OF
APPOINTMENT IS ENOUGH ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS
PERSONAL OBSTACLES
1. EMOTIONAL INSECURITY
FEELING STEMMED FROM BASIC INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL
MAN LIKES TO FEEL SAFE
KEEPS MONEY TO PROVIDE HIS FAMILY
WANTS TO FEATHER HIS NEST FOR OLD DAYS
FEELING OF INFERIORITY
FEELING OF PHYSICAL OR MENTAL INADEQUACY TO COPE
WITH PROBLEMS
LACKS THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF A LEADER
ONE WHO IS NOT BOLSTERED BY CONFIDENCE THAT IS
ACQUIRED THROUGH TRAINING

PERSONAL OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS IN

LEADERSHIP
3. SELFISHNESS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTINCT OF POWER OVER OTHERS
THRIST FOR POWER THAT RESPECTS NEITHER CODES NOR
BARRIERS
SELFISHNESS SOMETIMES DEVELOPS INTO ABUSE
COLOR IN THE DECISION AND ACTS OF LEADERS GUIDED BY
PERSONAL MOTIONS
4. SADISTIC TENDENCIES
THE THRILL THAT COMES FROM THE KNOWLEGDE THAT ONE
CAN INFLICT PAIN
AN ACT THAT COULD CAUSE DISCOMFORT OTHERS
A LEADER WHO MAKES SUBORDINATESJUMP AT THE CRACK
OF HIS WHIP
