Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. — Jack Welch

In recent decades and especially since the start of the twentyfirst century, views on leadership have changed. Analysing the relationship between manager (as the leader) and employee (as the follower) has produced new insights about how to lead efficiently. “Leadership […] is basically the process by which leaders influence the attitudes, behaviours, and values of others toward organizational goals” (Lusthaus, Adrien, Anderson, Carden, & Montalvan, 2002, p.44).

Globalisation brings with it changes to the work environment including the market, technologies, work force and work force expectations (van Eeden & van Deventer, 2008).

In order to do this I first need to focus on my growth and development. I want to become the kind of leader that I would follow.

In the first section of this report I analyse my personality with self-assessment instruments and my educational and professional experiences to examine leadership competencies. In the second section I define an overarching objective, which is presenting my professional future in the most optimistic way. In order to achieve this I examined my results from the first section to identify strengths and weaknesses which will assist or hinder me achieving my primary goal. The third section includes an action plan devel-oped on the basis of SMART goals. The last sectio
