Reflective Analysis on LeadershipIn many years running businesses, there isone thing I have consistently experienced, and that is, leaders need toconvince others of the merit of their ideas, and engage them into actionstoward that vision, inspiring and motivating. However, along the way, therewere many situations that I have struggled to overcome obstacles, which has ledme to rethink about leadership as a dynamic process. For the past 10 years I have been on ajourney to learn from leaders who are able to find the best in themselves andin turn inspire, engage, and mobilize others, even in the most demandingcircumstances, and in fact leaders that get the best results are those who havethe capability to adapt to changing circumstances (Obolensky 2010).Besides, I have perceived the importance of formal learning, by whichtheoretical support allowed me to develop a critical understanding ofleadership in organizational contexts, and more important, it helped me todevelop insights that undoubtedly contributed to my growth as a person and as aleader.This essay presents a reflection on mypersonal journey and a critical analysis of leadership, based on my work experiencefor over 10 years in leadership positions combined with my formal education.Here I chronicle the development of my thinking on leadership, discussing thedynamics between formal and informal leadership structures and leadership as astate of mind.Overthe last decade, theflux of organizations and people, with different culture and values, hasincreased considerably. Globalization has created aworld market for skilled professionals. International corporations have beenamong the first to take advantage of this globalism by restructuring theirapproach to their workforce and their way of doing business. Hence, in a worldwhere the differences of distance, culture and language are of less and lessrelevance, leaders have to be more and more contextual, finding meaning inwork, converting emotions such as fear or stress into opportunity, leveragingconnections and community, acting in the face of risk, and sustaining theenergy that is the life force of change.
