2LEADERSHIP
Introduction:
Leadership is one of the major aspect of the modern business organizations (Aarons
et al. 2016). Major responsibilities of the effective leaders inside the organization are the
formation of the strategy for the operations of the organization with a precise focus on the
achievement of the higher growth for the organization, the production of the motivation to the
employees of the organizations and the effective identification of the factors that are
influential in the decrement of the performances of the employees (Bolman and Deal 2017).
The paper analyses the required activities of a leader in managing the performances of
the employees, managing the retention of the employees who are considered to be the assets
of the organization, in managing the human resource of the organization and along with that,
the paper evaluates the personal skills that are required for becoming an effective manager.
Leadership:
The ability to lead the individuals and influence them towards a predefined goal are
considered to be the major aspects of the leadership (Barbera 2014). In modern business
context, the leadership is observed to be notably influential as the growth of the organization
will be dependent on the ability of the leaders to lead the organization in an effective manner.
Elaboration of the Theories:
The theories that are taught to me are significantly helpful for me in my development
of the leadership attributes. Being a leader, it is much needed to identify the gap in the
performance of the employees inside the organization. The theories were able to provide me
the base for the identification of the variation in the desired performances and the actual
performances of the employees. In connection with this, the assessment of the development al
needs and the developmental activities were notably helpful for me in becoming an effective

leader. One of the major concern of the modern day organizations is observed to be in the
form of the retention of the employees (Miner 2015). The theories were significantly helpful
for me in the understanding of the impact of the higher turnover rates in the modern
organizations and along with that, the necessity of the effective rewarding policy with the
introduction of both, intrinsic and the extrinsic rewards, is well served by the theories that
were taught to me. The theories enabled me to understand the technique for managing the
stress of the employees and necessity of the conduction of the employee engagement
activities for the reduction in the stress and job dissatisfaction of the employees.
Apart from this, the theories were significantly helpful for me in understanding the
different stages of the career growth and the increment in the pay structure as well. The
theories helped me to understand the human resource planning considerations. I understood
that the modern organizations are notably trying to implement the scientific management of
the operations of the organizations and the main influential factor in this, is the notable
competition that the organizations of modern generation are able to experience in the
industry.
Online Resources:
The online resources were significantly contributing to my development as a leader.
The management of the talents is one of the prime requirements of an effective leader and the
success of the organizations in ensuring the growth is observed to be notable when they can
manage the assets of their organization (Lepper and Greene 2015). Along with the
management of the talents, the concept of the talent acquisition is also of great significance
for the leaders and that is pretty evident from the assessment of the online resources that I
used. The online videos helped me to understand the importance of recruiting employees with
precise focus on the ability of the employees to provide the much required quality and at the
