Human Resources Leadership Toolbox: Theory & Application for the Changing Organization

Human Resources Leadership Toolbox: Theory & Application for the Changing Organization

Julie Wheatley | 2021

Abstract

Competencies are aligning the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to confidently complete a job well done. Competency training separates normal employees from high potential and t-shaped professionals. Leaders and followers alike have the opportunity—in various leadership contexts—to model competencies in their everyday attitudes, actions, and behaviors.

Jesus Christ was, and is, the quintessential leader of all time. He continually modeled transformation in His teachings. Jesus always knew the potential others could actualize and met people where they were.

The purpose of the book is to serve as a valuable reference with the intention to positively catalyze change to improve leadership style via competency training information and practical application. The niches are human resource professionals and organizational leaders in pursuit of leadership training and reference. In the 14 Leadership styles of: adaptive leadership, authentic leadership, behavioral leadership, cultural leadership, gender leadership, leadership ethics, path-goal theory leadership, psychodynamic leadership, servant leadership, situational leadership, skill-based leadership, team leadership, trait leadership, and transformational leadership, how can people invest to catalyze change within their organization? By centralizing the focus of each leadership style around catalyzing change through competency development, leaders and followers are able to see evidence of sustainable change through transformative success.
