There is an over abundance of managers and a huge lack of leaders. This situation clearly has a negative
impact on an organization’s ability to grow and compete.
A leader combines the vision and curiosity of a dreamer with the practical engineering of a builder. A leader is
goal directed, looking forward with anticipation toward the attainment of measurable outcome goals. A leader
is a person who sets goals and achieves results. Goals give an effective leader meaning and purpose, and
serve as a continuous source of motivation in pursuit of organizational and individual success.
While many books have been written about leadership, it remains for many, a misunderstood and elusive
quality. The capacity for leadership exists in everyone, but most people never take the time to develop it.
Leadership is determination, courage, confidence, and the ability to get results!
Positive leadership assumes that goals can be accomplished, the job can be done, the problem can be
solved, and the obstacles will be overcome. A leader creates his or her own future and drives the future
success of an organization.

THE PROCESS
This Leadership Development Process is a structured, open-ended pragmatic approach to leadership growth.
It is a process designed to help individuals develop the attitudes, skills and qualities necessary for personal
and organizational leadership.
THREE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
Attitude Development:
Attitudes are the basis of all behavior; therefore, in order to develop or enhance leadership behavior, it is
essential that we begin by developing positive, success-oriented attitudes.
Interpersonal Skills:
Much of what a leader is involved in and therefore accomplishes involves other people. To be effective in this
continuous challenge it is important to learn, understand, and use interpersonal skills effectively.
Goal Setting:
Leadership, among other things, is the process of providing organizational direction and accomplishing
necessary objectives. The goal accomplishment model provides the tools and process necessary to achieve
more goals, more often in order to maximize results and outcomes.
