Great leadership in an organization is essential. But it can be hard to come by. Studies show that 40% of new leaders fail within 18 months. The good news is that leadership failure can be predicted and prevented when managers are given the right leadership training programs and resources to develop better skills.
Leadership is the capacity to persuade, empower, and inspire individuals. Leaders may drive groups of people or organizations toward accomplishing predefined goals by clearly articulating their mission and vision. A lot of leaders advance in the organizations thanks to their technical aptitude. Yet, soft skills like empathy, cooperation, flexibility, and problem-solving are also essential for effective leadership.
Strong leadership abilities are advantageous for many managers. Executives interact with their staff members more frequently, coaching them on how to carry out their duties well and monitoring their progress while they work. Effective leaders provide their team members with a positive example to imitate and assist them in developing their own strong points.

The HRDQ Style Model, based on William Marston's theory of human behavior, focuses on four types of leadership: Direct, Spirited, Considerate, and Systematic. The model measures two dimensions: assertiveness and expressiveness. Assertiveness is the amount of energy a person invests in controlling and influencing others, and expressiveness is the amount of energy and effort a person invests in displaying their own emotions.
The most effective leaders modify their leadership style to fit the occasion. They must understand when to bargain and when to be tough. They are able to "stretch" their styles to collaborate with others and lead the team to success.
Leadership training program outcomes will vary depending on the level and topic. This is why you should pick your path wisely, keeping your ultimate goal in mind.
