Leadership Development Lessons

Q1. The personal leadership development process has enabled me to realize the leadership capabilities I was not aware of before such as the ability to coordinate activities in ateam. Besides, I learned several strategies of becoming a better leader by impacting others and the organization. For instance, I learned juniors are likely that as a leader, I should embrace change and advice others on the benefits of the change to avoid resentment. In this way, my juniors will understand that the change will impact their jobs positively and become implementers and agents of the change. I also learned that I should be inspirational by always motivating by followers even in the most challenging circumstances. This will encourage the followers to remain focussed towards achieving organizational goals. Moreover I learned the value of authenticity. As a leader, I should passionate about what I do and share my goals and vision with others.
