The Leadership Cycle
STAGE 1: Leadership AWARENESS. A situation arises; a leader steps forward, takes the helm and acts in that capacity.
STAGE 2: Leadership DEVELOPMENT. The appropriate leadership style is developed. Growth is achieved by observing others and from personal experiences.
STAGE 3: Leadership MATURITY. Leaders at this stage have proven performance. Some believe that past behaviours are indicators of future success and may become complacent thereby fast forwarding to
STAGE 4: Leadership REINVENTION. This stage is characterized by adaptability and change. It fosters Leadership longevity. Learning is a lifelong process. Successful leaders are always reinventing themselves.
STAGE 5: Leadership DECLINE. Everything comes to an end. A leader must accept when the journey is over and let go. The goal is to make more leaders. Once succession planning was embraced the work goes on. Unethical behaviour or poor performance can thrust a leader to Stage 5(Decline), thereby skipping the sequential order of stages.
