Leadership style of an individual may be unique but rather it should never be so stiff and restricted that with change in a circumstance, it remains the same. Ideal leaders always have a flexible style of working and they adapt themselves with the situation in question. It is worth noticing that change in style is not as easy as it sounds. Coming out of your usual style of working- outside the protected cocoon often lead you into trouble and the situation may get off hand if not managed properly. Leadership development is essential to avert such situations. A leader’s development is must from every body’s point of view as he is the one who he leads several others. He sets an example for the people following him.
Leadership development becomes all the more important when it comes to the conduct of a leader in front of his subordinates. Subordinates learn from their leader’s attitude towards work and related things. Each movement and gesture is observed and absorbed by these subordinates. Therefore, a leader should watch his image that he is building in his subordinates’ mind. His follower will undoubtedly repeat any foul act by the leader. He must try to build a young brigade of subordinates full of enthusiasm and dedication towards work.
