Leadership Theory Of Leadership Development
Leadership Theory
I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.
–Mahatma Gandhi
Ethical leadership has established on following principles.
(Picture courtesy: Northouse, 2013)
Leadership is a process whereby individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal (Northouse, 2013, p. 5). So, to better
understand the fundamental principles preceding leadership philosophy, we have to understand the theory of leadership development and its essential
characteristics. The leadership theories that are greatest associated with my personal developmental plan are the theory of relationship and
transformational leadership. The transformational leadership theory is allied with my personal development plan because it is also known as the
transformational leadership model, which emphases on the influences that inspires both the leader and the followers. According to this theory, the main
elements or fundamental base is created on vision, trust, power, authenticity, motivation, and communication.
The development within the organization depend on, how the leaders lead the organization and distinguish the change or growth. Drucker (2012) has
provided the five basic functions of organizational work culture like; planning, organizing, controlling, motivating and coordinating.The
transformational leader understands these basic factors and inspire and encourage those who perceive the importance of the higher good of the task.

What I've learned, however, is everyone brings their own amount of value to the table. What I lack in some areas, I make up for in others. You
can't hang experience up in your office in some fancy frame. Instead, you see it in the way a person carries himself or herself. I'll probably never
turn in a perfect paper with zero errors, but you can make certain I will always continue to do what is in the best interest of my subordinates, my
peers, and my leadership. There are a lot of very intellectual people in this course, but what I've learned is intellect and experience go hand and hand. I
have experience. I believe I'm right where I need to be in terms of my experience level as an NCO. So first and foremost, as part of my three–year plan,
I will complete my Bachelor's degree. I will try to balance out my experience with my intellect. Once the degree is achieved, it will probably get

Leadership And Workshop Development Committee
Overview
Both seasoned and new Nupes often find themselves asking the question, "Why did I join Kappa?", for days, months or even decades after their
initiation. While most go on to answer that question in their head, their responses are seldom shared with the policy makers of our fraternity. How
else, one must wonder, will the experiences of future Kappamen benefit from the lessons learned by the present day membership? For this reason, there
is the need for some mechanism to capture these fleeting ideas and deliver a curriculum that seeks to correct missed opportunities of training for
leadership.

Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference (CRWLC) that meets its original purpose for ALL members. In its most fundamental description, the conference
is supposed to prepare and incite in our brothers varying aspects of achievement, whether that is in the fraternity, job, or community. The 1957 approach
to sharing and instilling knowledge was most effective in the traditional lecture style workshop where a subject matter expert taught his brothers the
history of the fraternity or the different goals and themes of Leadership development. While this traditional approach to education and development
worked for decades to prepare some of the most amazing young men in America and throughout the world for leadership, modernity offers an
opportunity to drastically enhance the outcomes of our flagship leadership development event.
This year, with the support of the Province Polemarch and Board of Directors, the committee hoped to provide a leadership conference grounded with

My Personal Leadership Plan For Leadership Development
My Personal Leadership Plan
From leadership theories and observations and my personal experiences, I found that leadership is a life learning process and best practices of
leadership skills. Surprisingly, the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) points out that informal development opportunities, such as training, are
responsible for only 10 percent of the actual learning in leadership development, and ninety percent of learning for leadership development is achieved
in formal settings, mainly in everyday job activities such as development assignments and challenging tasks and interpersonal interactions at work, such
as networks and mentoring relationships. Cronin and Genovese (2009) insist that what is required in leadership are three things: practice, practice, and
practice. Mastery, however, requires more.
The sum of education, experiences, and observations lays a foundation upon which I will grow to become a good leader. In this plan, I will focused
on those aspects of leadership that I believe are most required for personal development as well as those which will be so significant for my future
leadership career. I have identified three goals which will guide me in the development process. My goals are to develop my integrity, listening skills
and communications skills. I assume that this plan will change and be altered as required by life circumstances.

According to Yukl (2006), much of the skill essential for effective leadership is learned from experience rather than from formal training programs. A
lifetime learner is accepting that you are never finished educating yourself and by continuing to educate yourself, you become self–aware that learning
is an ongoing process that cannot be completed. According to Yukl (2006), leadership training can take many forms, from short workshops that
last only a few hours and focus on a narrow set of skills, to programs that last for a year or more and cover a wide range of skills. The leader that I am
today is confident but still inexperienced. I still have plenty to learn in order to be the leader I want to be in the future. I want to be a leader who is
always striving for perfection and always keeping an open mind to the possibility of change and new leadership techniques. Nahavandi states (2006),
despite our knowledge, there is also much we still do not know. Leadership as we traditionally know it–command and control–does not address the
rapid social, cultural, and organizational changes that are occurring globally (Nahavandi, 2006). This is why we need to be always vigilant and open

It is said, that one of the most common leadership style that business adopt is based on transformational leadership theory. (www.mindtools.com).
Transformational leadership theory is about creating a high– performance workforce by stimulating people's realization of their potentials and achieve
goals beyond their requirements. To be able and adopt the changes into the organisations culture and inspire people to follow, they must cultivate the
four "I" model which exhibits four factors: idealized influence, individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation.
(Avolio, Waldman & Yammarino, 1991).
Idealized influence talks about the leader becoming a role model for the followers, someone to trust and respect, and as a result to idealize him and his
ideas.
Individualized consideration factor is how leaders promotes themselves as mentors to their followers. Followers are supported by their leaders and
reward them for being creative and innovative, thus they also provide them with the feeling of empowerment of being free to make their own decisions.
Intellectual stimulation is when leaders encourage the followers to be innovative and creative. There is support from the leaders for new ideas without
criticizing mistakes committed by the followers and are keen to disregard old practices and

Leadership Goals And Objectives Of Leadership Development
All organization's extensive period of competitiveness and success is contingent on its ability to develop effective and vibrant leaders. Many
researchers as well as top level executives, recognize the fact that there is a lagging in developing new and current leaders who have the appropriate
knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to assume positions of leadership. It is critical for organizations to create a continuous line of future, and current
leaders that know how to effectively lead and carry out the missions of their businesses to achieve their goals and objectives.
With respect to leadership development, our organization uses theories, models, and approaches that are used to shape the destiny of future leaders as
well as the organization itself, but also the community, and the families of the leaders that are developed. Leaders that get results, that can enhance
growth, and manage change are desperately in demand today. Bill Gates was quoted in an article saying, "as we look ahead into the next century,
leaders will be those who empower others" (Josephson, 2012).
As I reflect on the question how does my organization develop and hone leadership skills, Performance reviews are used to test, and evaluate key
competencies, and capabilities of leaders. The Balance Scorecard is used to answer questions such as, is the organization continually cultivating and

Leadership Is Essential For Organisational Development
Introduction:
Leadership is vital for organisational development. A complex group of theories and constructs in addition to a spectrum of associated traits, skills and
behaviour have been employed to describe leadership. This has generated an on–going debate amongst academics regarding the suitable definition for
leadership including the appropriate approaches to participating in and learning about leadership (O'Connell: 2014). According to Katz and Kahn
(1978) cited in Gronn (2008), leadership is described as the influence by any individual in an organisation over significant issues aimed at
organisational effectiveness. Organisations are investing in leadership development as they perceive effective leadership as a competitive advantage ...

However research by Stogdill (1948) as cited in (Iszatt–White& Saunders: 2014, p. 57) revealed that possessing certain traits alone would not make a
person a leader, rather the situations play a vital part in an individual's ability to exhibit leadership along with their innate characteristics.
Other approaches of leadership include transactional and transformational leadership approaches. Transaction leadership depicts the cohesion between
the leaders and the followers based on rewarding or exchanging something of value to motivate the followers in achieving the leader's goals. Here the
focus is more on task orientation and short–term objectives. In contrast, transformational leadership is laid on the foundation of raising awareness on
moral values and ethical issues amongst followers by garnering their support in achieving institutional reformation. Such leadership could act as a
catalyst by empowering the followers in accomplishing the organisational vision. (Iszatt–White & Saunders: 2014). However, Bolden (2005) asserts
that although individual leaders go to influence and motivate followers, they could foster a feeling of dependency amongst them which might not be in
the best interest of the organisation.
The above mentioned approaches highlight the belief that leadership is the domain of a single individual who possess certain traits or has capability to
display leadership qualities in certain situations. However distributed approach to leadership

These functions include career functions, which focuses on the mentee's career advancement and psychosocial functions, which focuses on both the
mentor and the mentee's "sense of competence and self worth" (Hackman & Johnson, 2013). They broke down the different aspects involved in the two
mentor functions. They highlighted that career functions involve "Sponsorship", "Coaching", "Protection", and "Challenging assignments and
psychosocial functions involve "Role modeling", "Acceptance and confirmation", "Counseling", and "Friendship".
In addition to this, some of the many benefits that mentees typically incur from mentorship were discussed. Some of the benefits highlighted included
better pay, more frequent job advancements, better job satisfaction and more recognition. Although mentees benefit in a number of ways from
mentorship, the authors also talked about the many ways an organization as well as mentors themselves benefit from mentorship. Just as there are
several advantages and/or benefits to mentoring programs, there are also challenges that may be incurred. Some of the issues and challenges discussed
involved mentors engaging in "distancing or manipulative behaviors" and incompatible pairings of mentors and mentees (Hackman & Johnson, 2013).

within their communities.
General Convention is held every two years. The event is open to all collegiate and alumna members. Attendees have the opportunity to vote on
important organizational topics, network with one another and attend educational sessions and workshops.
Kappa Leadership Conference is held in non–convention years and focuses on officer–specific training as well as adviser education. The presented

When an organization wants to better and improve itself the leadership is the most important resource available. They are the rock of the organization
and the engine that pulls the weight of the cars. In order for the organization to help grow a comprehensive leadership development plan must be
establish and used. A leader can make or break the organization as they are the ones that make things happen or let things fail.
A good leader has vision, takes initiative, influences people, makes proposals, organize logistics, solves problems, follows–up on tasking's, and
assumes responsibility for the good or the bad things that happen. Gone are the days where a leader at the top of the organization with followers

you can share your responsibilities, vision, and commitment with them and create a team. Of course there needs to be a leader, but a good leader
will use, not exclude, his talented staff. One person is not able to do everything and if they try to they will fail. This is why it is critical for a

Analytical Paper
When working to improve schools, leadership is the most valuable resource a school has. The school's leadership team has the responsibility of
developing a vision and mission, organize logistics, resolve problems, and influence all stakeholders. Principals have a significant role in their school
as the school's educational leader. They are responsible for ensuring strategies and systems are in place to support diverse learning. For many
principals, they look for potential leaders to be apart of their leadership team in order to develop and nurture them into future school administrators. This
could be accomplished by developing a potential educational leaders program. A program such as this provide teacher leaders with practiced–based
and leadership development opportunities. Principals may select individuals who are strategic thinkers, ethical decision makers, and someone who is
willing to work collaboratively. Principals may also select highly motivated individuals who possess the following four traits: results–driven, decisive,
change agent, and developer. It is commonly understood; emerging leaders are those who are high achievers. These highly ambitious individuals are
those that excel in skills and in responsibilities. These professionals are known to standout among their peers due to their work ethics and their
consistency to produce desired results.

education. It is generally expected that competition for entry–level white–collar jobs will become much fiercer. Unfortunately, fewer than 10 per cent
of graduates in China have the skills to work for a foreign company and there are continuing, not to say growing, shortages of both mid–level and

Leadership development is the key to success in the United States Army as it continues to operate in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex
environment. After more than a decade of continuous combat deployments, leadership development lost its significance and became a low priority

* Being able to accept any change and confront those new circumstances and experiences without panic. * Being able to show and demonstrate faith
in yourself and follow your instinct. * Being prepared and ready to look for new challenges freely. * Always thinks positively of oneself, and have an
optimistic view of others. * Being constantly motivated to extend and expand capabilities.
Self–awareness is being conscious of oneself, of one's own style as a leader, and of one's own qualities. "Personal reflection and getting feedback from
others are necessary elements for developing self–awareness, a process labeled double–loop learning" (Nahavandi, 2009, p. 337). What one learns from
others as well from himself is reflected in self–awareness. One needs to know his own potential and be aware of his weakness to recognize chances
for expansion (Crnokrak, 2010) (Nahavandi, 2009, p. 336–337).
Experiences have a great impact in a leader's life; the experiences a leader can have can be really strong but on occasions can have a negative effect.
Sometimes, experiences can create a stronger leader although sometimes experiences can frighten a leader. Confronting negative experiences make

The horizontal development calls for improving skills, abilities, and behaviors. It is training which involves listening to experts, and training seminars
that are content–heavy. The training calls for a lot of book learning and exams. Horizontal development is identified as an approach that is most useful
in solving problems. Situations arise, and techniques are learned for solving them.
Mr. Petrie in his interviews asked the question, "What do you think needs to be stopped or phased out from the way leadership development is
currently done?" (Petrie, 2014, p. 10). They answered, "Competencies: they become either overwhelming in number or incredibly generic. If you have
nothing in place, they are okay, but their use nearly always comes to a bad end." (Petrie, 2014, p. 10). The horizontal development is associated with a

Organizational Culture And Leadership Development
Due to businesses becoming more and more universal, employees are progressively dealing with individuals who are divergent to them. Similarly, as
organizations progressively generate business associations with organizations whose cultures are different, employees may work with others who hold
different views of what establishes effective functioning in an organization, and what relationships are existent between organizational factors and
workplace effectiveness (Kwantes and Boglarsky, 2007).
Knowing the importance of leadership in modern–day organizations, it is not shocking that leadership development gets the biggest percentage
distribution from training and development resources of most organizations. The part that organizational culture plays in the development of leaders is
critical but often ignored. One motive for this is that managers responsible for leadership development efforts are so fixed in their own beliefs that
those cultures are essentially invisible to them (Bal and Quinn, 2001).
In his book, Schein (2004) aims at clarifying what culture is, how it affects the organization, how to understand and decipher it and how to act on it
with culture change. From the book, this paper seeks to review organizational culture influence on leadership effectiveness, identify the elements of
organizational culture, and discuss approaches and theories on leadership based on defined cultural typologies and subcultures.

FPS Leadership Development
The FPS Leadership Development Program defines leader development as the delib–erate, continuous, and progressive process that grows employees
into competent, committed professional leaders. Leader develop is achieved through synthesis of train–ing, duration, and experiences acquired through
opportunities at the institutional, oper–ational, and self–development arenas, supported by peer and development relation–ships. FPS leaders must be
able to understand the conditions of the modern security environment, analyze them in terms of the problems they face and re–frame them in
protection centered terms. Our leaders must be able to apply problem solving and de–cision–making skills to protect the continuity of the American

Oper–ational experience provides the workforce the opportunity to use, hone, and build on what they learned through the formal training and education
process. Experience gain through on–the–job training in a variety of challenging assignments and additional duties prepares employees to lead and
further develop others. The leader plays a significant and instrumental role in this area. Leaders are particularly responsible for mentoring that is vital to
the development of junior members. They explain both area and individ–ual performance standards, and provide periodic assessments and continual
feedback to develop the employee. Beyond accomplishing the mission on a daily basis, develop–ing subordinate leaders is a professional responsibility
which must be carried out to guarantee the quality of our future leaders. Similarly, periodic assignments to broaden–ing positions throughout the career

Strategic Leadership Development
Incorporating Strategic Leadership Development Into Company Culture While supporting leadership development is admirable, incorporating strategic
leadership development into company culture can take organizations to exciting new heights.
While strategic leaders are certainly invested in the present, they have their sights set squarely on the future. They research trends, things that are
important to customers, and what's happening in the world to create a vision that offers a strong platform for planning and leading their team to desired
outcomes.
Truly successful strategic leaders strongly consider the role culture plays in how far their organizations can go. Culture is the result of habits and
norms, and what people say and do–it's really a set of unwritten rules of behavior that are felt and can be shaped.
It's fairly easy to see whether strategic leadership development is part of a company's culture if you listen to the kinds of ... Show more content on

Years ago, I worked at a company that was very future focused, and we went through an exercise to revisit our mission and vision that demonstrates
the value of strategic leadership. We involved a diverse group of 15–18 people, asking them what it was like to work in the organization and what it
would have to be like for their talents to be maximized.
Once we had their answers, we added our board members to the mix, and we were so proud of what we came up with; we couldn't wait to share it

"Leaders are not born, they are made." This quote can be seen at numerous officer training programs throughout the United States armed forces.
Reflecting back on my officer training up to present, I can agree with that quote. Early in my training process with ROTC, many of my mentors told
me that most of my leadership development would take place when I fail at something. Though I knew their advice held some merit, I did not fully

As I progressed through my first semester, it became readily apparent that this style of assignment management was not sustainable. I was
sacrificing sleep, friendships, and various other areas with in my personal life. However, as I moved into my sophomore year, I was able to
develop some person boundaries and better manage my time. I learned to properly prioritize my tasks and homework assignments. Doing this
allowed me to sleep more and workout. During my junior year, stress management transformed from a failure to a challenge. Specifically, I
challenged myself to plan obligation so effectively that I could pursue hobbies and travel more. I was successful in that endeavor. It was also
during this time period where I learned to say "no." When classmates would ask for my assistance or my boss would ask me to accept additional
responsibility, I would make sure I could sustain my current production levels without being them being drastically impacted. Sometimes, that meant
telling people "no." While in my senior year, I was finally able to properly find healthy and sustainable ways to manage my stress. A leader needs to

The Theory Of Leadership Development
Introduction In this paper, the writer will discuss the concept of leadership development, whether a person is born or developed to be a leader, what
role mentoring has on follower's, and what being a leader and follower mean. The writer will relate personal experience as well as scholarly research to
validate her perception of leadership development. The writer will provide enough information for the reader to have a good understanding of
leadership development, mentoring followers, and what he or she believes is a leader and/or follower.
Is a Leader Born or Developed? One must be able to understand the definition of leadership before making the determination is a leader is born or
developed. Leadership is defined as "the process of influencing an organized group toward accomplishing its goals" (Bethel University, 2011, p.16).
There are myths that tend to stand in the way of people fully understanding leadership development. One would say that good leadership is having
common sense, or leaders are born rather than made or developed. Leaders have certain traits that make he or she be a good leader. One may assume
that a person is born a leader because of one's actions or attributes he or she maintains. A person can have traits and behaviors that point in the
direction of leadership. However, those traits and behaviors do not necessarily mean that the leader was born that way nor developed that way.

Leader Development And Leadership Development
Leaders exist at all levels within an organizational design and should not be interpreted as only applying to positions of management. Leadership
development programs characterize the institutional desires in creating positive organizational structure in every realm of the corporation.
Recognizing the variation between different levels of leaders and their contributions, it is critically important to identify the necessary characteristics
of emerging leaders. The knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to perform satisfactorily at current occupied levels is just as critical to mission
success as readying establishment employees for the next opportunity. In order to sense levels of excellence, senior leaders can gain a baseline of
capabilities by conducting leadership and personality profiles of existing employees and more importantly, decide on principled traits of incoming
leaders, which ensures the culture of leadership that is desired.
It is paramount to understand the difference between leader development and leadership development (Day, 2001) in addition to the basics of
organizational scanning to enhance the employee experience, directly effecting business outcomes. Day studied the best practices, as well as, the most

Leadership And Leadership Development : Army Leadership
The following definitions relate to words or terms with meanings distinctive to leadership and Leadership development. Army Leadership: For the
purposes of the discussion in the research, Army leadership is "the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while
operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization (Field Manual 6–22, 2013). People who perform above and beyond what is expected
of them possess an internal desire to succeed no matter the challenges, it's not done to be an over achiever. According to (Hargreaves & Harris, 2015),
they have an inspiring and definable destination to reach for – a compelling dream rather than a core purpose, still less a numerical indicator of
superiority. Organizations that perform above expectations, rather, often have to confront failure, derision and even the prospect of extinction in a
way that galvanizes their commitment to change. An improbable dream begets an apparently impossible challenge. Most of our leaders at some
time had faced a seemingly insurmountable obstacle (Hargreaves & Harris, 2015). Civilian Leader: is defined as an Army civilian who holds direct
supervisory responsibility for other Army civilians and/or uniformed personnel. For the purposes of this research, civilian leaders are classified into

Leadership And Leadership Development Programs
While there are obvious advantages to leadership development programs, plenty of organisations are still not convinced about implementing them. The
organisations tend to quote the following three as the main cause for concern: takes long to implement, it adds additional cost, and ineffective results.
The program takes long to implement
Perhaps the strongest argument against leadership development programs is the time it takes to properly implement one. An effective program is not
something a company can achieve overnight, especially in terms of when the benefits become apparent. A 2013 survey by Brandon Hall Group,
entitled Leadership Development Benchmarking, showed that only 18% of leadership development programs in place for fewer than two years were
considered to provide effective results. The percentage increased to 38% when the programs were in place over five years. Therefore, the programs
are not a quick fix to company problems and the benefits are not short–term advantages.
The program adds additional costs
Companies always need to consider the bottom line and any additional costs must always be carefully considered. Therefore, leadership development
programs tend to cause concern for organisations because they can be seen as another avoidable or unnecessary cost. If you consider the point above
about the benefits taking a long–time to kick in, organisations can be wary of the initial cost. A study from 2012 showed how American companies

Leadership And Change Leadership Development
Introduction
As defined by Katzenbach (1995), change leadership is "the process whereby individuals who lead initiatives that influence dozens to hundreds of
others to perform differently–and better–by applying multiple leadership and change approaches." Leadership alone is defined as setting a direction
and developing the strategies necessary to move in that direction – that is, creating and achieving a vision – leadership is thus a process to do with
change (Kotter 1999). Change leadership is critically important to the continuing success of organizations everywhere. Tennant Company understands
and invests in change leadership by employing a Sr. Organization Development Manager named Annelise Larson, M.B.A. whose efforts includes
setting direction, developing strategies, and leading initiatives through organizational change efforts. An interview was conducted with Annelise Larson
to discuss and learn about her change leadership abilities. For the purposes of this paper, the interview questions will be shared, a summary will be
provided, and five recommendations are made for Annelise Larson as a change leader.

mangers are important to the success of any business but, building leadership skills on all levels can develop a culture of employees ready to take

Leadership, Leadership And Leadership Development
There are two kinds of people in this world, followers and leaders. Followers are the people that never take a leadership role in any activity. "They are
more valued by followers and have higher performing teams." (Cherry 2014) However, leaders are the ones that use their leadership skills to make a
difference in this world, such as presidents, teachers, or even college graduates. Leadership is not something you can learn from a book, but you have
to gain this skill through experiences such as holding an office, organizing an event, speaking in front of people, or participating in a leadership
program.
If leaders are simply born that way then what is the point of leadership development. The answer perhaps creates controversy because the answer is
simply both. Clearly there are those who have certain abilities that allow them to more easily assume leadership roles while others of us work to
develop the necessary skills. The reality is that each person is unique in their skills and abilities as is each leader. One may be charismatic while
another is empathetic, one may have clear vision another remarkable communication skill. We all have a different mix of skills and abilities that allow
us the opportunity to lead. "Genetic endowment may merely influence the rate at which domain–specific expertise is acquired without imposing any

The Benefits Of Leadership Development
Background The article I am reviewing is called the Benefits of Leadership Development in Sports. This article was written in the attempt to discover
how a coach may benefit if they can develop leaders. This paper was written by Mike Voight who is an associate professor focusing on leadership in
sports at the University Central Connecticut University. Mike Voight has written several other articles focusing on how personnel teamleadership
matters.
Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study is very simple. Does one benefit themselves and their team's success if they develop leaders and if it
does then how do we develop leaders? Before they even look at the advantages of developing leaders they define leaders. What exactly is a leader and
how do you start to develop it. The article was able to define leadership and concluded that leadership is about holding a position of authority where
you can make a difference (Voight, 2015). After leadership as defined, the purpose of the study can be stated and learned. Does leadership make a
difference in sports and how do we develop leaders. This study is very crucial for all coaches and people of leadership. The purpose of this article is so
simple but the information is price less. You need to be able to develop leaders in order to be successful as a person in charge. Voight (2015) shines
some great insight on how to develop leaders and the process one should take.

The planning phase to accomplish the goals is to organize workshops, this will allow the group or individual to focus on their important issues. These
workshops can place the followers and the leaders on the right track, and engaging in these workshop activities can even improve or life, the morale
and restore a commitment to the groups and the organization. The timeline would be set to a yearly expectation, but will be available to everyone year
around (Responsible Conduct in Research Mentoring, n.d.).
Plan and organize leadership groups to continue their ongoing leadership developments; this activity allows leaders to listen to the other leaders
thinking and ideas. The meeting will discuss the experiences that we as leaders have encountered since maybe the last session, expressing the rewards
and non–rewards from the experience. Peer leadership groups would have a timeline of once a month or every two–week gathering (Research
Mentoring, n.d.).
Plan and organize a group activity where leaders learn to support one another's leadership; helping them refocus and to keep going. The event will
discuss ways to empower and motivate leaders to their followers or each other; this activity can be done by videos, books, group talks, or a guest
speaker. The time lines for this event can be set on a monthly basis.
Organize and plan a conference(s), where there is a guest speaker or a counselor that speaks about influencing others, improving integrity, or improving

Leadership Theory Of Leadership Development Leadership Theory I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people. –Mahatma Gandhi Ethical leadership has established on following principles. (Picture courtesy: Northouse, 2013) Leadership is a process whereby individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal (Northouse, 2013, p. 5). So, to better understand the fundamental principles preceding leadership philosophy, we have to understand the theory of leadership development and its essential characteristics. The leadership theories that are greatest associated with my personal developmental plan are the theory of relationship and transformational leadership. The transformational leadership theory is allied with my personal development plan because it is also known as the transformational leadership model, which emphases on the influences that inspires both the leader and the followers. According to this theory, the main elements or fundamental base is created on vision, trust, power, authenticity, motivation, and communication. The development within the organization depend on, how the leaders lead the organization and distinguish the change or growth. Drucker (2012) has provided the five basic functions of organizational work culture like; planning, organizing, controlling, motivating and coordinating.The transformational leader understands these basic factors and inspire and encourage those who perceive the importance of the higher good of the task. ...

What I've learned, however, is everyone brings their own amount of value to the table. What I lack in some areas, I make up for in others. You can't hang experience up in your office in some fancy frame. Instead, you see it in the way a person carries himself or herself. I'll probably never turn in a perfect paper with zero errors, but you can make certain I will always continue to do what is in the best interest of my subordinates, my peers, and my leadership. There are a lot of very intellectual people in this course, but what I've learned is intellect and experience go hand and hand. I have experience. I believe I'm right where I need to be in terms of my experience level as an NCO. So first and foremost, as part of my three–year plan, I will complete my Bachelor's degree. I will try to balance out my experience with my intellect. Once the degree is achieved, it will probably get tucked away in a filing cabinet because the judgment of a person's character shouldn't be hanging on a wall. Instead, I will use the education I received to be a better, more rounded leader. When my Airmen ask for advice on education, I can provide them sound insight from first hand experience. I could recommend different schools and provide points of contact and advisors.

Leadership And Workshop Development Committee Overview Both seasoned and new Nupes often find themselves asking the question, "Why did I join Kappa?", for days, months or even decades after their initiation. While most go on to answer that question in their head, their responses are seldom shared with the policy makers of our fraternity. How else, one must wonder, will the experiences of future Kappamen benefit from the lessons learned by the present day membership? For this reason, there is the need for some mechanism to capture these fleeting ideas and deliver a curriculum that seeks to correct missed opportunities of training for leadership.

Rodger Wilson Leadership Conference (CRWLC) that meets its original purpose for ALL members. In its most fundamental description, the conference is supposed to prepare and incite in our brothers varying aspects of achievement, whether that is in the fraternity, job, or community. The 1957 approach to sharing and instilling knowledge was most effective in the traditional lecture style workshop where a subject matter expert taught his brothers the history of the fraternity or the different goals and themes of Leadership development. While this traditional approach to education and development worked for decades to prepare some of the most amazing young men in America and throughout the world for leadership, modernity offers an opportunity to drastically enhance the outcomes of our flagship leadership development event. This year, with the support of the Province Polemarch and Board of Directors, the committee hoped to provide a leadership conference grounded with in a lens of collaboration and innovation.

  • 4. My Personal Leadership Plan For Leadership Development My Personal Leadership Plan From leadership theories and observations and my personal experiences, I found that leadership is a life learning process and best practices of leadership skills. Surprisingly, the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) points out that informal development opportunities, such as training, are responsible for only 10 percent of the actual learning in leadership development, and ninety percent of learning for leadership development is achieved in formal settings, mainly in everyday job activities such as development assignments and challenging tasks and interpersonal interactions at work, such as networks and mentoring relationships. Cronin and Genovese (2009) insist that what is required in leadership are three things: practice, practice, and practice. Mastery, however, requires more. The sum of education, experiences, and observations lays a foundation upon which I will grow to become a good leader. In this plan, I will focused on those aspects of leadership that I believe are most required for personal development as well as those which will be so significant for my future leadership career. I have identified three goals which will guide me in the development process. My goals are to develop my integrity, listening skills and communications skills. I assume that this plan will change and be altered as required by life circumstances. Goal 1. Integrity. Growing up to be a fully and true leader, I want to strengthen my integrity.

According to Yukl (2006), much of the skill essential for effective leadership is learned from experience rather than from formal training programs. A lifetime learner is accepting that you are never finished educating yourself and by continuing to educate yourself, you become self–aware that learning is an ongoing process that cannot be completed. According to Yukl (2006), leadership training can take many forms, from short workshops that last only a few hours and focus on a narrow set of skills, to programs that last for a year or more and cover a wide range of skills. The leader that I am today is confident but still inexperienced. I still have plenty to learn in order to be the leader I want to be in the future. I want to be a leader who is always striving for perfection and always keeping an open mind to the possibility of change and new leadership techniques. Nahavandi states (2006), despite our knowledge, there is also much we still do not know. Leadership as we traditionally know it–command and control–does not address the rapid social, cultural, and organizational changes that are occurring globally (Nahavandi, 2006). This is why we need to be always vigilant and open minded to the new theories that are always being introduced in this global society. According to Nahavandi (2006), future leaders must ...

It is said, that one of the most common leadership style that business adopt is based on transformational leadership theory. (www.mindtools.com). Transformational leadership theory is about creating a high– performance workforce by stimulating people's realization of their potentials and achieve goals beyond their requirements. To be able and adopt the changes into the organisations culture and inspire people to follow, they must cultivate the four "I" model which exhibits four factors: idealized influence, individualized consideration, intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation. (Avolio, Waldman & Yammarino, 1991). Idealized influence talks about the leader becoming a role model for the followers, someone to trust and respect, and as a result to idealize him and his ideas. Individualized consideration factor is how leaders promotes themselves as mentors to their followers. Followers are supported by their leaders and reward them for being creative and innovative, thus they also provide them with the feeling of empowerment of being free to make their own decisions.

  • 7. Leadership Goals And Objectives Of Leadership Development All organization's extensive period of competitiveness and success is contingent on its ability to develop effective and vibrant leaders. Many researchers as well as top level executives, recognize the fact that there is a lagging in developing new and current leaders who have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to assume positions of leadership. It is critical for organizations to create a continuous line of future, and current leaders that know how to effectively lead and carry out the missions of their businesses to achieve their goals and objectives. With respect to leadership development, our organization uses theories, models, and approaches that are used to shape the destiny of future leaders as well as the organization itself, but also the community, and the families of the leaders that are developed. Leaders that get results, that can enhance growth, and manage change are desperately in demand today. Bill Gates was quoted in an article saying, "as we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others" (Josephson, 2012). As I reflect on the question how does my organization develop and hone leadership skills, Performance reviews are used to test, and evaluate key competencies, and capabilities of leaders.

  • 8. Leadership Is Essential For Organisational Development Introduction: Leadership is vital for organisational development. A complex group of theories and constructs in addition to a spectrum of associated traits, skills and behaviour have been employed to describe leadership. This has generated an on–going debate amongst academics regarding the suitable definition for leadership including the appropriate approaches to participating in and learning about leadership (O'Connell: 2014). According to Katz and Kahn (1978) cited in Gronn (2008), leadership is described as the influence by any individual in an organisation over significant issues aimed at organisational effectiveness. Organisations are investing in leadership development as they perceive effective leadership as a competitive advantage ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... However research by Stogdill (1948) as cited in (Iszatt–White& Saunders: 2014, p. 57) revealed that possessing certain traits alone would not make a person a leader, rather the situations play a vital part in an individual's ability to exhibit leadership along with their innate characteristics. Other approaches of leadership include transactional and transformational leadership approaches. Transaction leadership depicts the cohesion between the leaders and the followers based on rewarding or exchanging something of value to motivate the followers in achieving the leader's goals. Here the focus is more on task orientation and short–term objectives. In contrast, transformational leadership is laid on the foundation of raising awareness on moral values and ethical issues amongst followers by garnering their support in achieving institutional reformation. Such leadership could act as a catalyst by empowering the followers in accomplishing the organisational vision. (Iszatt–White & Saunders: 2014). However, Bolden (2005) asserts that although individual leaders go to influence and motivate followers, they could foster a feeling of dependency amongst them which might not be in the best interest of the organisation. The above mentioned approaches highlight the belief that leadership is the domain of a single individual who possess certain traits or has capability to display leadership qualities in certain situations. However distributed approach to leadership ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

These functions include career functions, which focuses on the mentee's career advancement and psychosocial functions, which focuses on both the mentor and the mentee's "sense of competence and self worth" (Hackman & Johnson, 2013). They broke down the different aspects involved in the two mentor functions. They highlighted that career functions involve "Sponsorship", "Coaching", "Protection", and "Challenging assignments and psychosocial functions involve "Role modeling", "Acceptance and confirmation", "Counseling", and "Friendship". In addition to this, some of the many benefits that mentees typically incur from mentorship were discussed. Some of the benefits highlighted included better pay, more frequent job advancements, better job satisfaction and more recognition. Although mentees benefit in a number of ways from mentorship, the authors also talked about the many ways an organization as well as mentors themselves benefit from mentorship. Just as there are several advantages and/or benefits to mentoring programs, there are also challenges that may be incurred. Some of the issues and challenges discussed involved mentors engaging in "distancing or manipulative behaviors" and incompatible pairings of mentors and mentees (Hackman & Johnson, 2013).

They are the rock of the organization and the engine that pulls the weight of the cars. In order for the organization to help grow a comprehensive leadership development plan must be establish and used. A leader can make or break the organization as they are the ones that make things happen or let things fail. A good leader has vision, takes initiative, influences people, makes proposals, organize logistics, solves problems, follows–up on tasking's, and assumes responsibility for the good or the bad things that happen. Gone are the days where a leader at the top of the organization with followers below him. It is easy to develop a team of leaders around you and leadership does not have to be a lonely business. When the right people are trained you can share your responsibilities, vision, and commitment with them and create a team.

The proportion of 18–22year–olds attending Chinese universities last year was 15 per cent compared to 7 per cent in 1995. Stronger economic growth has been outstripped by the growth in higher education. It is generally expected that competition for entry–level white–collar jobs will become much fiercer. Unfortunately, fewer than 10 per cent of graduates in China have the skills to work for a foreign company and there are continuing, not to say growing, shortages of both mid–level and senior–level managers. In the past, many multinationals relied on expatriate managers to oversee their China operations. The current trends show an increased localisation of staff. Forty per cent of foreign companies have trouble filling mid–level and high–level positions in China. Adding to the problem for MNCs has been the entrance of local Chinese firms to the market, often referred to as the ``reverse brain drain ' '. In ten years, China will need 75,000 managers with international experience. Currently, it has only about 5,000 with such talent. The management talent in China is mainly first–generation.

After more than a decade of continuous combat deployments, leadership development lost its significance and became a low priority within most units army–wide.

Self–awareness is being conscious of oneself, of one's own style as a leader, and of one's own qualities. "Personal reflection and getting feedback from others are necessary elements for developing self–awareness, a process labeled double–loop learning" (Nahavandi, 2009, p. 337). What one learns from others as well from himself is reflected in self–awareness. One needs to know his own potential and be aware of his weakness to recognize chances for expansion (Crnokrak, 2010) (Nahavandi, 2009, p. 336–337). Experiences have a great impact in a leader's life; the experiences a leader can have can be really strong but on occasions can have a negative effect.

Horizontal development is identified as an approach that is most useful in solving problems. Situations arise, and techniques are learned for solving them. Mr. Petrie in his interviews asked the question, "What do you think needs to be stopped or phased out from the way leadership development is currently done?" (Petrie, 2014, p. 10). They answered, "Competencies: they become either overwhelming in number or incredibly generic. If you have nothing in place, they are okay, but their use nearly always comes to a bad end."

  • 22. Organizational Culture And Leadership Development Due to businesses becoming more and more universal, employees are progressively dealing with individuals who are divergent to them. Similarly, as organizations progressively generate business associations with organizations whose cultures are different, employees may work with others who hold different views of what establishes effective functioning in an organization, and what relationships are existent between organizational factors and workplace effectiveness (Kwantes and Boglarsky, 2007). Knowing the importance of leadership in modern–day organizations, it is not shocking that leadership development gets the biggest percentage distribution from training and development resources of most organizations. The part that organizational culture plays in the development of leaders is critical but often ignored. One motive for this is that managers responsible for leadership development efforts are so fixed in their own beliefs that those cultures are essentially invisible to them (Bal and Quinn, 2001). In his book, Schein (2004) aims at clarifying what culture is, how it affects the organization, how to understand and decipher it and how to act on it with culture change.

The organisations tend to quote the following three as the main cause for concern: takes long to implement, it adds additional cost, and ineffective results. The program takes long to implement Perhaps the strongest argument against leadership development programs is the time it takes to properly implement one. An effective program is not something a company can achieve overnight, especially in terms of when the benefits become apparent. A 2013 survey by Brandon Hall Group, entitled Leadership Development Benchmarking, showed that only 18% of leadership development programs in place for fewer than two years were considered to provide effective results. The percentage increased to 38% when the programs were in place over five years. Therefore, the programs are not a quick fix to company problems and the benefits are not short–term advantages. The program adds additional costs Companies always need to consider the bottom line and any additional costs must always be carefully considered. Therefore, leadership development programs tend to cause concern for organisations because they can be seen as another avoidable or unnecessary cost.

  • 38. Leadership, Leadership And Leadership Development There are two kinds of people in this world, followers and leaders. Followers are the people that never take a leadership role in any activity. "They are more valued by followers and have higher performing teams." (Cherry 2014) However, leaders are the ones that use their leadership skills to make a difference in this world, such as presidents, teachers, or even college graduates. Leadership is not something you can learn from a book, but you have to gain this skill through experiences such as holding an office, organizing an event, speaking in front of people, or participating in a leadership program. If leaders are simply born that way then what is the point of leadership development. The answer perhaps creates controversy because the answer is simply both. Clearly there are those who have certain abilities that allow them to more easily assume leadership roles while others of us work to develop the necessary skills. The reality is that each person is unique in their skills and abilities as is each leader.
