Just recently, one of the top-ranked motivational speakers and trainers in the Philippines had a talk about leadership at the Elabram office in Makati City with 30 engineers as attendees.

Boris Joaquin shared valuable information on how to gain respect & goals to achieve success in terms of leading the team. Joaquin mentioned that leadership is defined by two behavioral approaches, role and relationship.

Role is a task-oriented approach where the leader is focus in delivering the task to meet the certain goal or achieve a certain performance standard.

The leader here is into key performance indicator (KPI) or output of the team. Its advantage is deadlines are met and jobs are completed. 

Under relationship leadership, the leader is focused on the satisfaction and motivation like internal marketing and general well-being of the team members.

Over all, this is to influence the team members or the associates according to these approach. This leader prioritize the well being of the team.

Also, a mindset of having a good environment means having a good relationship with the subordinates where individuals feel driven.

The team members here are more empowered to take risk because they know that their leader will provide support when needed. 

Joaquin also described also that the one with influence like a child asking for a toy if the parents will agree is the one who is the leader and with influence for negotiating and encouraging the parents to say yes.

The capacity to have an effect in the character, development, or behavior of someone or something can be determined if the leader is truly effective, if the team follows or even imitates the influencer whether it is by way of dressing up, if it follows the rules implemented, or if it follows a simple instruction.
