The Army offers unparalleled opportunities for leadership development, and not just at the theoretical level but also at the practical and applied stages. Nowhere is leadership more important than in the military, which is why the principles taught in this course will continue to resonate with me as I progress in my career. While every lesson has something to offer, the modules on leadership theories and on ethics have proved especially helpful for me to gain insight into different styles and approaches. For example, Big Man theory, trait theory, and situational leadership theories all apply to… Continue Reading...

For example, many researchers are now focusing on how leadership skills can be promoted among adolescents (Morton & Montgomery, 2013; Larson & Tran, 2014; Marshall, Parker, Ciarrochi & Heaven, 2014). Their studies indicate that leadership youth programs can be helpful in providing adolescents the tools and experiences they will need in order to develop leadership traits. These same studies have shown that family stability and self-esteem also play a large role in helping young people to grow leadership qualities, such as emotional intelligence, good judgment, boldness and creativity.… Continue Reading...
some also have active succession planning with transparent methods of communicating intent.

Empirical research has been demonstrating the advantages of formal identification and employee training for high-potential personnel.
Research has also been increasingly focusing on the organizational culture and formal practices of high-potential employee identification, training, and retention. The most important theme in the literature is related to transparency and communication. Zhu & Manjarrez (2017) found that informally recognized high-potential employees are 19% more likely to actively seek employment elsewhere… Continue Reading...

This dissertation focuses on leader emergence in virtual teams. The author discusses the formal and informal processes of virtual team leadership development, aiming for the emergence of an objective model or means of creating reliable, effective virtual teams. Ultimately, this research addresses a gap in the literature related to leadership within the virtual team setting. Due to the unique characteristics and processes defining virtual teams, the same leadership theories and models that work for face-to-face teams may not be applicable to the virtual team. Although preliminary, this research is also instrumental in that the author provides a quantitative method to predict leader emergence, thereby improving the capacity of virtual teams… Continue Reading...
in their subordinates, recognizing high achievers or those with high potential and promoting leadership development within the army. Leadership development is not always presented or promoted effectively within the army, which impedes the ability of the organization to fulfill its goals.

For example, the Transforming Teaching and Learning site also includes information linked to leadership development among students. I agree that leadership development is crucial for young educators, but also for students in general.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) supplants No Child Left Behind, by raising overall education standards while also protecting the right of every student to having the best possible education. Information sharing and the optimized use of technology is central to the future of education. However, the future of education also requires the diversion of funds to critical services such as early childhood education and equal access to preschool. Closing… Continue Reading...
discrimination from the hiring process. Paying more attention to, and devoting more resources towards, training and leadership development as opposed to potentially discriminatory hiring procedures can help organizations align their practices with their principles.
Conclusion: The Importance of Integrity in Leadership
Hiring practices remain a core component of ethical decision making in organizations. Human resources managers need to comply with EEOC and related formal laws and institutions at the very least, while also protecting their organization and its primary stakeholders. Using background checks, psychological assessments, and social media screenings may be necessary in some cases, but also risks tarnishing employee perceptions of the organization. The ultimate… Continue Reading...
the hiring process and when considering leadership development strategies. Punitive measures may not always be successful at uprooting hostile behaviors, given that many of the problematic behaviors are deeply embedded in social and cultural norms. Furthermore, many of the persons implicated in cases like that of Otto May are themselves in positions of power—managers and leaders who view themselves as being above reproach because of their title and status in the company. Therefore, senior managers always need to remain vigilant and willing to systematically confront the normative culture that perpetuates harassment in the workplace.
