personal development for leadership strategic management task 1 ldquoleadership i

TASK # 1
Leadership is the ability of an individual to motivate others to forgo self-interest in the interest of collective vision and to contribute to the attainment of that vision by making significant personal sacrifices over and above the call of duty willingly (House and Shamir, 1993).
The difference between Leaders and leadership plays an important role in determining the productivity of the company and scaling the rate at which the company steers in the direction of its vision and mission statements. A good leader working on individual basis with knowledge and trustworthiness, self-aware of pros and cons and with his ability of self-motivation directs and leads from the front; in comparison to a great leader with leadership skills who works on a social level, with social awareness and trust encircling mutual respect building bonds and having the abilities to manage conflict with a vision to get the entire team motivated and dedicated to accomplishing the tasks in view of the companys vision and long term strategy.
Leadership development plan measures what is more important to the organization with constant analysis on the organization’s trust, market environment, and values. It then identifies those categories of leadership behaviors which are important to the organization defined by these critical factors. (Germano, 2010).
The achievement of outcomes of the plan against original objectives plays a vital role in assessing the progress of the business growth in the direction paved through by the leaders of the business and the vision of the beneficiary.
In Knowledge to Actions sales department the weekly sales are based on companys free introductory seminars run across the UK; recently in order to grow the business across the globe, Knowledge to Action in order to promote the business module and establish name, along with envisioning high number of sales, decided to run its seminars alongside a famous stock market celebrity Mr. Jordan Belfort; the objective behind running the seminars of a British based company alongside an American brand was to put across a unique brand stigma as well as use of brand compliment. This joint venture after numerous promotion campaigns and marketing research fell short of original objectives since after the seminars one-third of the number of expected sales went through which thought was an achievement was far from the companys original objective, which is why further seminars with Jordan were scrapped and the idea was wrapped up.
Well, from one side, approach theory discussion went nicely into a practical example. From another point of view, as said, the Task 1 (others too) needs title and subtasks need titles too. The text does not follow exact pattern of the Task1 bullets.
Assessment of the contribution (second bullet) needs broader attention.
Where is the review of leadership theories? (slides 15, 16, 17 from the Istanbul presentation)
Merit and Distinction grade answers should be defined more clearly.
