I. LEADERSHIP AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Learning Competency 1.1 Describe the importance of leadership development both
personally and professionally.
Leaders within organizations develop the tone and direction of the organization, make key
decisions, and create strategic plans. Success or failure largely is based upon these factors.
The better you can work with people, the more successful you will be in both your personal
, and your professional lives.
A. Are Leaders Born or Made?
You may think this is a trick question, because most researchers say the answer is both.
Effective leaders are not simply born or made, they are born with some leadership ability and
develop it.
WORK APPLICATION 1-1
Do you believe that you are a born leader? Do you believe that you can develop
your leadership skills to improve job performance?
B. Why Leadership Is Important?
This section lists some reasons why leadership is so important.
C. Why Study Leadership?
The study of leadership applies directly to your professional live. If you are a manager, or
want to be a manager someday, the need for good leadership skills is self-evident. Even if
you are not interested in being a manager, you still need leadership skills to succeed in
today’s workplace. The old workplace, in which managers simply told employees what to do
is gone. Today, employees want to be involved in management, and organizations expect
employees to work in teams and share in decision-making and other management tasks.
The study of leadership also applies to your personal life. You communicate with and
interact with people every day; you make personal plans and decisions, set goals, prioritize
what you will do, and get others to do things for you.
D. The Need for Self-Assessment in Leadership Development
―Know thyself‖ or self-awareness has been called the leadership first commandment, so the
first step to leadership development is self-awareness of leadership competencies. To provide
you with leadership self-awareness, every chapter has self-assessment exercises. Let us start
now to better understand your Leadership Potential by completing Self-Assessment 1.1.

, Leadership Potential
If you want students to complete the Self-Assessment exercises, you may want to tell students
and spend a little time talking about them.
E. From the Management to the Leadership Paradigm
Leadership is just one of the function of a managers’ jobs, and employees can have more
influence over others than the manager. There is overlap between the two—a successful
organization needs both managers and leaders.
1. From Autocratic to Participative Management
There has been a shift from autocratic to participative management. Going from the
management to the leadership paradigm is a shift from the older autocratic management
style to the newer participative leadership style of management.
2. From the Shareholder to the Stakeholder View
There has been a shift from only focusing on profits for the owners to focusing on creating a
win-win situation for all stakeholders affected by manager’s decisions.
3. From the Self-Serving to the Servant Leadership View
There has been a shift from employees serving managers to managers helping employees
meet the objectives and tasks.
