Consider the qualities of effective leaders that were identified in the Learning Resources. Reflect on past experiences that you have had with leaders whom you considered to be effective. What qualities did they exhibit that made you consider them effective? What qualities could they have exhibited that would have made them more effective? How much of effective leadership is dependent upon: the context of the leadership, the leader’s role, and the leader’s position in the organization? Is effective leadership always correlated to the title that someone holds?
Post your own description of an effective leader. Explain how the leader’s role, position, or organizational context can influence their ability to lead others. Be sure to include examples from the articles and your own experience.
