Leadosophy: Episode 32 - "How Do You Know You're an Effective Leader; Who Judges and How?"
b'Episode 32 The term leadership effectiveness (LE) is often used loosely and generally, but effectiveness can vary widely dependent upon both situational contexts and those responsible for judging effectiveness. Leadosophy examines literature from the Encyclopedia of Leadership written by James Cooper and John Nirenberg and titled, "Leadership Effectiveness." In this article, the authors posit a definition of leadership effectiveness, and this inspires Leadosophy to analyze the definition and see how it applies to practical application.\\n\\nSome questions about LE and topics explored in this episode: \\n\\n1. How do we define leadership Effectiveness (LE)?\\n2. What do we use to judge LE?\\n3. Can we judge our own LE, our self-concept of LE?\\n4. If LE is in the eye of the beholder, who\'s eyes matter more?\\n5. Does LE matter more from a mission-centric perspective or the human-centric perspective? If you channel more energy in one direction, will a loss of energy occur in the other direction?\\n\\nReference\\n\\nCooper, James Fenimore., and John Nirenberg. "Leadership Effectiveness."
