Working environment through human capital

To all my friends and all those who have continued to have me as their solutions provider thank you.
 
An industrial/organizational (I–O) leader helps clients and organizations improve productivity and create an optimal working environment through human capital consulting and strategies. Areas of consulting include but are not limited to selection and recruiting, training, leadership, and development, compensation and benefits, employee relations, performance management, succession planning, and executive coaching.
 
I truly believe in these words of wisdom from Mr. Napoleon Hill. I really do believe that no one person can succeed in any endeavor if they go alone. Well let me rephrase perhaps a person can if they believe they can, however it will take them a long time to get there but at one point or another they will need assistance to reach their full potential.
No one can succeed and remain successful without the friendly cooperation of others.
In today’s interdependent society, it is virtually impossible in any business, profession, or occupation for an individual to achieve great heights of success without the help of others. The best way to get friendly cooperation is to give it. When you make it a practice to encourage others and to help them advance in their careers whenever possible, most will reciprocate when you need their help. Give generously, and you will benefit in kind. 

Organizational Leadership and the psychology that goes into this field is far more difficult then what anyone can imagine. When I explain to people what my doctorate is on, people think that I am a psychologist and that is so far from the truth. So what is: Organizational Leadership?

Most institutions need strong organizational leaders. The Organizational Leadership specialization can help you develop skills to be an effective organizational leader in areas such as conflict resolution, organizational capacity and executive leadership. The job of someone like me is to help any organization l develop a strong knowledge-base in the practice of leadership in a variety of fields.

Leader-focused approaches

Leader-focused approaches look to organizational leaders to determine the characteristics of effective leadership. According to the trait approach, more effective leaders possess certain traits that less effective leaders lack. More recently, this approach is being used to predict leader emergence. The following traits have been identified as those that predict leader emergence when there is no formal leader: high intelligence, high needs for dominance, high self-motivation, and socially perceptive. Another leader-focused approached is the behavioral approach which focuses on the behaviors that distinguish effective from ineffective leaders.
 
 There are two categories of leadership behaviors: (1) consideration; and (2) initiating structure. Behaviors associated with the category of consideration include showing subordinates they are valued and that the leader cares about them. An example of a consideration behavior is showing compassion when problems arise in or out of the office. Behaviors associated with the category of initiating structure include facilitating the task performance of groups. One example of an initiating structure behavior is meeting one-on-one with subordinates to explain expectations and goals. 
 
 
 
The final leader-focused approach is power and influence. To be most effective a leader should be able to influence others to behave in ways that are in line with the organization's mission and goals. How influential a leader can be depends on their social power or their potential to influence their subordinates. There are six bases of power: coercive power, reward power, legitimate power, expert power, referent power, and informational power. A leader can use several different tactics to influence others within an organization. These common tactics include: rational persuasion, inspirational appeal, consultation, ingratiation, exchange, personal appeal, coalition, legitimating, and pressure.
 
The trick to all these ways of leading and influencing is knowing the type of people that you work with and understand them as human beings and individuals that is the key understanding them as individuals.
