For a leader to be motivated at all times, tell him or her to start developing a positive outlook in life. This can be done by trying to see the good in bad at all time or whenever possible. If leaders are able to overcome obstacles, he or she would soon develop the habit of looking for ways that would help him or her overcome that problem. Work and family Another challenge for leadership development that veers away from standard competencies is the competing demands of career and personal/family life. It had also been recognized that a person s work and personal life have mutual effects on each other. At present, there is a need to understand which factors about organizational life are challenged by the concept of work/life integration. This is because most people prefer to take things as they come. This is mostly because most of the time we have a laid-back culture. Leadership training does the opposite. It will encourage you to plan you're not an employee anymore, which means you have to worry about more than yourself. Goal and problem identification, brainstorming solutions and implementation will be focused on in this part of the program. Knowing that you are doing the best that you could possibly be doing is a great boost to personal self-esteem. No more doubts about your capabilities in leading you know that you can lead your company and lead it well. b) Skills acquisition Leadership development programs are more than hot-blooded pep-talks. For some people, having big dreams work on them because they are looking forward to big rewards in the future that is why they are giving their best this early. While some people opt to have small dreams because they want to make sure that they will be able to accomplish that dream and won't have to deal with defeat or failure in the future. History is littered with leaders who weren't able to handle the pressure. Thankfully, we've learned a few things from history which is where leadership development programs come in. Being a good leader is not a trait that's spread out in the human population. It's kind of like being a good soccer player or a good player.
