LEADERSHIP IS PERSONAL

摘要

Three years ago the Human Development and Leadership Division published a primer on leadership that discusses leadership in terms of the actions needed to lead people. In 2002, through the efforts of the Division's BoK Committee, HD&L adopted six leadership competencies as the basis for the HD&L Body of Knowledge. Even as the Division was discussing these "roles" of leadership, however, there was an awareness that the roles are only actionable if they are supported by personal characteristics. This paper is intended to provide an overview of the results of the Division's efforts. Those who attend the presentation will gain insight into what it takes to be an effective leader. Attendees will also have an opportunity to participate in an interactive discussion of this sometimes difficult, and always intriguing, subject.
