Leadership Skills Analysis
Results of Assessment
Over the past decades, extensive research on leadership clearly indicates a dire need for a good leadership (Hughes, Ginnett & Curphy, 2022). As Warren Bennis stated, “To an extent, leadership is like beauty: it’s hard to define, but you know it when you see it” (Ga
ither, 2004), the term has been defined and redefined in but so many different ways. However, a mutual theme that runs through literature is the fact that it is a process (Hughes, Ginnett & Curphy, 2022), that which everybody needs to acquire and incessantly hone its traits as life encounters call for having to lead (Gaither, 2004). Several myths attached to the term ‘leadership’ such as that good leadership is all common sense, or that leaders are born, and not made, and that the only school you learn about leadership is from the school of hard knocks (Hughes, Ginnett & Curphy, 2022). These have been these myths have been constantly debunked by research findings paving way for more refined and effective leadership.

It is outright and blatantly vain to work hard with no strategy. The right plan and approach will point in the right direction and towards productivity. Having known what is expected of a person can bring about clear priorities and hence give birth to effective decisions and appropriate actions (Haley, n.d). Communication as a vital tool in a group works best when it is utilized in the right way. Success is hugely dependent on the effectiveness of communicating accurately, clearly and powerfully, as Haley puts it (n.d.). Listening well to others, at ease to communicate with all types of people, keeping others informed, and understanding viewpoint from others’ perspective will go a long way (National Minority AIDS Council, 2015). When it comes to work quality, being focused and attentive to intricate details sets apart from others and pushes forward towards the attainment of a goal. In addition, a task well cooperated by the teammates is a prerequisite throughout the process of operation. To value all members and opinions, along with a good communication channel, work quality, and productivity will outcome excellent result...
