Personal Introduction
Now, I am attending classes at the University of Arizona to get a doctoral degree in management with a specific concentration on the elements of leadership in organisations. My attention has been drawn to the many facets of organisational growth and training development, with a particular emphasis on the challenges of leadership that are present in the company. This specific investigation has successfully concentrated on the literary result as well as the contemplation that focuses on the viability and the dependability of the concerns surrounding professional Leadership or the impact that such Leadership has inside the corporation. The topic of discussion has also thought about the many features of outsourcing, as well as how outsourcing has a direct influence on productivity in the modern age of business. Lastly, the topic of interest has swiftly shifted to concentrate on the transformation and evolution in the business environment, together with the important aspects of an organisation that concentrates on organisation or development as well as the involvement of leaders in the management of organisational affairs. An education in organisational leadership focuses on instilling in students the importance of goal-setting not just for an organisation but also for the individuals that make up that organisation. A PhD in this area certifies that you have completed the greatest degree of schooling available on the topic and that you are knowledgeable to an exceptionally high level. A terminal academic degree, a doctorate in organisational leadership provides students with the information and abilities necessary for executive responsibilities in a company. PhD holders in the discipline are specially equipped for employment in private firms, nonprofit organisations, and educational institutions, while graduates often get executive positions in a variety of sectors. Many of them go on to teach the topic at the college or university level.

The investigation of the mental processes involved in leadership theory is an extremely important possibility.

They are responsible for ensuring that actions are carried out as well as assigning responsibilities to subordinate staff members (Adoli & Kilika, 2020). In contrast, organisational leadership encourages younger workers to have greater agency in their efforts for the business. This is done to better the organisation as a whole. A leader of an organisation works to make sure that the aims of the company and those of its people are aligned, nurtures the competencies of their workers, as well as devises a plan for maximising strengths to achieve success.
Reflective Essay
From this course I learned that leadership theories attempt to explain the reasons why some individuals have a greater potential to become leaders than others do. They explore the features and behaviours of leaders, as well as the behavioural attributes that one might embrace to enhance their leadership talents. A natural aptitude to lead may be innate in certain individuals, according to some ideas, which implies that certain attributes may have a role in this.

The ability to lead, on the other hand, may be defined as the capacity of a person to steer a group, organisation, or cause toward the achievement of the desired objective.
