Complete 5 page APA formatted essay: Leadership Skills Personal Development Plan.

a detailed analysis of my leadership style on the grounds of strength, weakness, opportunity, threats, along with discussion on improving them in order to be a more effective leader. I have also discussed the SMART(ER) goal setting technique to set the goals for my followers and for myself. All the discussions made in this study are backed up by relevant theories.

According to my perception, the concept of leadership is based on the idea of how one individual can guide a group of people to follow his instruction so that they can be driven towards a common goal. At often times the term “leader” is used synonymous with the term “manager”. I think that a leader and a manager possess quite a different set of characters (Davis 8). A leader develops a new trend or a set of rules to follow, whereas a manager makes sure that the rules are properly being followed. Most importantly a manager controls his subordinates by relying on his power of authority, but a leader influences his followers by establishing a strong trust (The Wall Street Journal, “What is the Difference Between Management and Leadership?”). This makes me believe that a leader is a person who takes the right decisions and sets goals for himself and for his followers as well.

I have followed a leadership style which binds my team in with strict rules and regulation. I thought that setting up straight forward rules are necessary in order to make sure that there is deviation from the goal. I laid down a series of strict rules for my team and instructed them to follow those rules down to every word. In order to avoid confusion in decision making, I took the responsibility of making all the major decisions myself. I commanded my team to abide by my decisions at all times, so it can be ensured that the progress is directed in the desired way. This style of leadership can be termed as the Autocratic leadership style (Johnson, “5 Different Types of Leadership Styles”).

Write a 2 page essay on Proposal finance.

e main objectives are, first, determine the cause the global financial crisis and secondly, the effect of the financial crisis on the developing country. The research will attempt to answer the following questions. what caused the financial crisis and what was its impact on the least developed nations. The results of the research will be of great importance to both governments and private sector in both developing and developed nations alike. It will enable the governments to come up with strategies for predicting and preventing future occurrences. The private sector will be able to cushion their businesses from a financial crisis and learn how business practices can cause a financial crisis.

Many economists consider the 2008 to 2012 financial crisis as the worst since the great depression of the 1930’s. It led to the collapse of financial institutions, decline in consumer wealth (Muma, 2012, p. 6). the stock market dropped worldwide and mortgages default in the housing sector. What started as US mortgage crunch (Sun et al., 2011, p. 2), extended to the other nation especially the European Union. On September 14, 2008, the fate of Lehman Brothers was to be decided (Dolezalek, 2011, p. 7). The eventual fall of Lehman Brothers undermined the confidence and trust of the investors in the financial market. One year earlier, the Bank of England has bailed out Northern Rock, a large mortgage lender (Dolezalek, 2011, p. 7).

The financial and banking crisis that started in the developed nation reached the least developed nation through at least three channels. First, the crisis led to sharp decline in world trade volume (Alabi et al., 2011, p. 3) and commodity prices (Alabi et al., 2011, p. 116). Secondly, the foreign direct investment started declining since 2007 and hurt most, the mineral and oil exporting nations (Nafziger, 2012, p. 546). Thirdly, it led to a reduction in the foreign remittances to the least develop countries. The research will extend the body of
