Consider Who Your Role
Models Are
As a leader, there will
always be someone you look
up to. Someone whose
leadership style resonates
with, and who you hope to be
like. Role models, directly
and indirectly, impact our
style, and to develop a
great philosophy, we have to
review and assess who we
idolize.
Think About Your Current
Leadership
How do you lead now? That is
a crucial thing to think
about. Even at the
university level, developing
a leadership philosophy is
important. Think about how
you handle a crisis at the
nuclear level, note the
things you’d like to
change,
and do them immediately.
Importance of A Leadership
Development Plan
It Helps the Team Develop
Constructing a leadership
development plan helps you
put things into perspective.
This way, the team develops
because, as a leader, you
are grounded in your values
and beliefs. You have
mastered the art of
leadership, and as such, the
team would flourish.
Creates A Positive
Leadership Image
As a person who has fully
developed a leadership plan,
this means you have become
focused and in control of
every operation handed to
you. This creates a positive
leadership image, and the
team can look up to you as a
desirable role model worthy
of emulation.
Promotes Accountability
Developing a leadership
style calls for
accountability. As a leader,
you should be ready to give
account and take
responsibility, even when
you have made an error. In
doing this, you are setting
an example for the entire
team, and they will learn
from you.
