BL. Entry W8
Leaders must be in a position to take leadership of an entity and help spearhead reforms
that will lead to achievement of the set goals. To achieve this, the leaders are expected to possess
skills and knowledge that will enable them to lead the rest of the people. When offering training
in leadership, it is important that the right candidates enroll, learning challenges should be
created and mentoring services must be available. The training should as well provide
experiments to ensure that they develop leadership competency (Allio 2005). The training
should as well focus on developing self-knowledge and skills in critical thinking and rhetoric
thinking. A leader is also expected to reflect on their leadership styles and actions to understand
the way forward. Acton-observation –reflection models allows one to learn from the experiences
as they think about the same, this enables a leader o make adjustments of the actions hence can
provide superb leadership. Assessment of leadership allows a leader to identify areas that need
improvement hence promotes quality leadership.
