According to contemporary thinking leadership is an extension of self. It is largely driven by a mixture of personality, behavior, values, emotions and environment. An individual (called a leader) has to influence other individuals (called followers or team members) to achieve personal and organizational goals. Building on this perspective, the main aim of the workshop is to uncover, through self-analyses, the leader within 'you'. The workshop will focus on leadership behavior, personality and styles. Other important leadership areas, to include communication, emotionality, decision making and use of power, will be covered to discover the leader within you. Through analyses based discussions, suggestions will be made that should push you closer to being an effective leader.

• Utilize emotionality as an effective leadership tool.

• Identify the traits and behaviors of an effective leader.
• Action learning the relationship between leadership and environment.
