Module on Leadership

MODULE ON LEADERSHIP

Leadership is the ability to adapt the setting so everyone feels empowered to contribute creatively to solving the problems.

How can leadership be applied in so many different ways? And, what really constitutes being a leader in every one of these situations? The answer is contained in the realization that perhaps the most fundamental characteristic of leadership, and therefore of individuals who are leaders, is personal leadership.

PERSONAL LEADERSHIP

Personal leadership is the ability to direct your own life and to lead yourself in the direction that you would like for your life to take. It is the ability to define what you want out of life and how you are going to get there. These are important qualities in developing leadership, both personally and corporately.

During the module on leadership , i learnt how to be accountable to myself and to others.

In addition to that , i understood that to be a good leader, it is important to develop management skills relating to delegation and feedback. The various differences in my Junior colleagues' abilities, skills, and style are inevitable and must be acknowledged  managed in order to meet workplace demands. This will lead to success in achieving organizational objectives.
