Does Leadership development start at home or at work ?

Starts at home. The way we raise our children affects very much their personality in the future.  Too much instructions and not leaving room for their own choice creates suppressed persons who can't make decisions on their own.  Also too much instruction in what is right and what is wrong and forcing them to do what you think is right kills their creativity.  Judging them all the time and telling them that they can't do anything right makes them grow to believe that they are losers.  Anger, screaming and spanking ....all these things will never create leaders but rather will create angry people with lack of self-confidence.  Work later on can erect some issues, develop people's skills  and create leaders out of people who have potential.

Leadership is God gift for some people if you see in History of few islamic books and some people raised their standard by taking big decisions in a very crucial time and consider to be the leaders. But nower days most of the people are not leaders but they are just politicians...

At  home of course, when children given responsibilty, watch them fullfilling them with trial and error.  They get rid of shyness, backwardness and build confidence in themselves when loved ones of his/her own appreciate, support and correct/guide them.

I believe that the essential qualities of being a leader is innate, which means a "GIFT".   But, the development of a type of leader you are, starts from home and enhance through education, exposure at work and social environment you are in.

Leadership development starts with yourself wherever you are, doesn't matter whether you are at home or office. Before you start leading others you must be able lead your own self first.

Refer to this article (Source: Leadership for Dummies):-

"Being a great leader starts with leading yourself, so take a moment to get to know yourself better, and continually work on developing yourself. Follow these tips:

• Clarify the values that are important to you.

• Question yourself about whether you’re always authentic by acting in accord with your values.

• Identify your leadership strengths and assess how well you’re using them.

• Seek feedback from work colleagues about how you and your behaviour affects or impacts on them.

• Prioritise your leadership development needs and plan how to address them.

• Enhance your self-confidence by occasionally stepping outside of your comfort zone.

• Be your best critical friend by reflecting on and learning from your experiences."

For sure it starts at home, but doenst matter, it starts from wherever you are right now. Start reading about great leaders and identify honestly what you lack.

It starts when you start making decisions...
