What is leadership?
➢Leadership is a process by which a person influences
others to accomplish an objective and directs the
organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and
coherent.
➢Is defined as the relationship in which one person
influences others to work together to reach a desired
level of achievement.
➢A process whereby an individual influences a group of

Adulthood(includin

➢Human development, or developmental psychology, is
a field of study that attempts to describe and explain the
changes in human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral
capabilities and functioning over the entire life span,
from the fetus to old age.
➢The systematic study of children is less than 200 years old, and
the vast majority of its research has been published since the
mid-1940s. Basic philosophical differences over the fundamental
nature of children and their growth occupied psychologists
during much of the 20th century.
➢The most important of such controversies concerned the relative
importance of genetic endowment and environment, or “nature”
and “nurture,” in determining development during infancy and
childhood.
• The advances in cognition, emotion, and behaviour that
normally occur at certain points in the life span require
both maturation (i.e., genetically driven biological changes
in the central nervous system) and events, experiences,
and influences in the physical and social environment.
Generally, maturation by itself cannot cause a
psychological function to emerge; it does, however, permit
such a function to occur and sets limits on its earliest time
of appearance

various groups within an organization, including employees, managers,
customers and investors.
The key principles of effective leadership
communication
• Clarity- Don’t be vague when discussing what you want from your team.
• Personalization- Leaders rarely have the luxury of speaking to one person
at a time so the good ones learn how to make every single person feel as if
he or she is being spoken to directly.
• Transparency- Strong leaders are transparent in their communications.
• Listening- Listen to the interests of your team and get a feel for their
perspective on how to achieve goals.
• Feedback- When good leaders make a mistake, they admit it right away.
• Inspiration- the ability to inspire those around you.
