10 Key Attributes
To Successfully Climbing
the Leadership
Ladder
10 Key Attributes To Successfully Climbing the
Leadership Ladder
by Uncan Brodie
When we start in our career, most of our energies and efforts are directed to
learning. For example:
• How to use IT
• Gaining a broad range of experience
• Gaining knowledge through professional or business qualifications
These foundations are an essential part of your development but they are
unlikely to be a major factor in determining how far you climb the leadership
ladder. So what attributes do you need to develop to avoid hitting a glass
ceiling?
1. Awareness of yourself and how your behaviours impact on others
2. Clarity on where you excel and where you are less effective
3. The confidence in your own abilities so that you are sufficiently resolute
and can bounce back when things are not going so well
4. Flexibility and adaptability so that you are ready to seize opportunities
5. The personal drive to get results in both the good and not so good times
6. The ability to understand and take on board different perspectives. For
example, the marketing specialist perspective on an issue will be different to
the finance or HR specialist perspective and none of them will be wrong.
7. The desire to provide outstanding levels of service, no matter what you
do, even if it is not directly interfacing with external customers
8. Create and get buy-in to your compelling vision for the business or your
part of the business
9. A willingness to develop and leverage relationships to get the best
outcomes
10. Contribution that serves your interests and those of the key stakeholders
in the business
So where do you need to start developing to keep climbing the leadership
ladder?

Planning Programs for Adult Learners
The ongoing education and training of
adults has become a necessity in many professional areas. Yet the
staff who set up and administer these programs often lack skills for
the very task that is so critical to the success of their efforts--the
planning of the programs themselves. Drawing on the tremendous success
of the first edition, Planning Programs for Adult Learners, Second
Edition covers the development of adult education programs in clear,
specific detail. This popular guide contains information on every area
of program planning for adult learners, from understanding the purpose
of educational programs to obtaining suitable facilities. Thoroughly
expanded and revised, the book contains a wealth of new material and
examples, and features new information on incorporating technology
into the development and practice of adult education programs.
Educators and practitioners alike will find this guide to be an
essential tool. |

The Values of Presidential Leadership (Jepson Studies in Leadership)
In this volume, presidential scholars
from communication, history, law, philosophy, political science, and
psychology explore the broader phenomenon of leadership. Like
leadership more generally, presidential leadership is a value-laden
activity, an exercise in communication, and a collective enterprise.
It is also subject to psychological and historical barriers to
interpretation. Finally, presidential leadership is instrumental:
presidents must achieve their valued ends. Contributors address each
of these aspects of leadership in essays on how presidential values
are determined or constructed, how they are condoned and criticized,
how they are packaged and conveyed, and how they are interpreted and
acted upon.

Transformational and charismatic
leadership represent the "new leadership genre." These theories and
models represent a set of approaches to leadership (not management)
that can help us understand how certain leaders foster performance
beyond expected standards by developing an emotional attachment with
followers and other leaders, which is tied to a common cause and
contributes to the "greater good" or larger collective. It is
leadership that is individually considerate, intellectually
stimulating, inspirationally motivational, visionary, and of high
moral and ethical standards. Transformational and charismatic
leadership involve a unique bonding among leaders and followers -
emotional attachment, respect, and trust form the basis of these
approaches. The purpose of this book is to assess the
state-of-the-art of transformational and charismatic leadership
theory and methods. The contributors to this volume review the past,
