Leadership is defined as the ability to direct individuals from an organization to achieve a common goal. A leader does not use the power of their title, or generate more followers to the group. An effective leader empowers others, in addition to teaching and showing the way to a business objective.

One of the biggest lessons learned from this course is that to be an effective leader, you must have a diverse skillset. I’m not sure if there is any one magical component or characteristic in being a great leader. One influence during my review of the literature was that; although easier for some, I see leadership as something we must continually improve upon. This is in contrast to my belief during my first day of class, when I thought leaders just

Coaching and Mentoring has been a pivotal part in the grooming process of leaders. Every organization have to have leaders, and in order for the organization to be successful the leaders must be taught.

My strong points when providing feedback is that I am supportive and honest. I deliver feedback using a positive tone focusing on the goals and objectives. I position the feedback from the stand point of what has been accomplished rather than what is pending. Then I look for the individual to gauge their progress and think about how they plan to solve any outstanding issues. I believe that this motivates the individual to do their best as they devise the plan to accomplish the goal themselves rather than by being told what to do. I celebrate individual, as well as group accomplishments. I am usually very explicit about the impact that they they have made. In some cases, monetary accomplishments as they relate to return in investment

Feedback is essential and should be clear about its purpose and intent. It is important to address feedback with the specific individual that it 's intended for. This will help limit confusion and negative feedback.

The best people to judge how effectively a leader is leading are the followers, hence the strong emphasis on behavioural assessments, based on capability frameworks and 360º feedback. The resulting summary of perceptions is also an output measure of leadership effectiveness, since the style and behaviour of leaders will affect morale and motivation. Good systems of feedback will give more than a mere evaluation, but through open comments offer examples that enable individuals to relate to the reality of how they are seen.

For decade’s individuals, companies, and organizations have spent an unprecedented amount of money on researching, molding, modeling and working to define what a leader is and what characteristics make successful leaders. Despite all the research, there is not a quick answer or even full agreement as to what makes an individual an effective leader. The definition of a leader is “someone who can influence others and who has managerial authority.” (Robbins, Decenzo, Coulter, 2015. P.370)
