previous chapter Paradox and Neuroscience: Emerging Theories of Leadership

next chapter Personal Philosophy of Leadership

Some leaders also have personal development plans, tailored to achieve peak performance and life satisfaction; such plans are characterized by a vision of where these individuals want to be and why, understanding of the skills needed to achieve the vision, a good idea of the standards that should be achieved, a level of priority for each skill area, and a road map to get them from where they are to where they want to be.

Many personal leadership development programs are prefaced by self-assessments: there are 360° assessment tools, tests of emotional intelligence, the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator, the Thomas–Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, etc.

Complexity leadership theory has been defined as a “leadership paradigm that focuses on enabling the learning, creative, and adaptive capacity of complex adaptive systems within a context of knowledge-producing organizations” (Uhl-Bien, Marion, & McKelvey, 2007, p. 298).
