4.9 LEADERSHIP 
Leadership is the ability to motivate and inspire individuals to work 
towards expected results. Leaders inspire vision and rally people around common 
goals. A good Event manager can motivate and inspire the Event team to see the 
vision and value of the Event. The Event manager as a leader can inspire the 
Event team to find a solution to overcome the perceived obstacles to get the work 
done. 
 
Effective Leaders:
 
They do what they say they will do. They keep their promises and 
follow through on their commitments. 
 
They make sure their actions are consistent with the wishes of the 
people they lead. They have a clear idea of what others value and 
what they can do. 
 
They believe in the inherent self worth of others. 
 
They admit to their mistakes. They realize that attempting to hide a 
mistake is damaging and erodes credibility. 
 
They create a trusting and open climate. 
 
They help others to be successful and to feel empowered. 
 
They don't push too much. They encourage members to do more, 
but know when it's too much. 
Event management is about getting things done from people effectively and 
efficiently. Every organization is different in its policies, modes of operations and 
underlying culture. There are political alliances, differing motivations, confecting 
interest, and power struggles within every organization. A Event manager must 
understand all of the unspoken influences at work within an organization.

MOTIVATION 
Motivation helps people work more efficiently and produce better results. 
Motivation is a constant process that the Event manager must have to help the 
members move towards completion with passion and a profound reason to complete 
the work. Motivating the group is accomplished by using a variety of group building 
techniques and exercises. Recognition and rewards are an important part of 
individual motivations. They are formal ways of recognizing and promoting 
desirable behaviour and are most effective when carried out by the management 
team and the Event manager. Consider individual preferences and cultural 
differences when using rewards and recognition. Some people don't like to be 
recognized in front of a group; others thrive on it.So individual differences should 
be appreciated. Both monetary and non monetary rewards should be used as 
motivational techniques.
