Leadership skills always need refining because the business culture and economic landscape are in constant flux.

Organizational leadership development is what Loreen Sherman, CEO of Star-Ting Incorporated specializes in because of the dynamic shifts. 'Organizational leadership is never dull'and according to her, "one of the major difficulties with the continual inpouring of information is how to assess key leadership practices."

Calgary, AB, Not all disciplines are equal. Industry sets its own parameters. However, there are some generalizations for all organizational leaders. Even with new commodities, new technologies and new products and services being invented there are some leadership practices that are foundational. These root practices never go out of style.

Like the wind, earth, fire and water some leadership practices are constants such as honesty and truth. Based on authentic and values, leaders build solid organizations that will promote growth. The wind must carry words of wisdom from these leaders to the team. Each person is a key to the success in the airways of communication. The earth is an allegory to the solid decisions that each leader is required to make. However, often fire or conflict happens. The solution is to apply water to put out the fire.

The extermination of problems is the job of leaders. Organizational leadership development helps leader make stronger decisions and better solutions. Loreen Sherman, a specialist on organizational leadership knows the value of strong decision making. Here is a sample of what Loreen Sherman speaks on in her business presentations on organizational leadership:

First, to assess key leadership practices one must know how to assess solutions to problems. There are three ways most leaders practice assessments: easy, routine and complex.

Second, leadership practices are improved by building leadership skills in organizational leadership development programs. For example, today's decision makers face the pressure to make better and faster decisions in an environment characterized by a high domain complexity and market volatility.

Third, the standard evaluations such as ROI Measurements need to be re-worked. The financial analysis is not necessarily the best analysis. For instance, when a short-term solution is looked at usually the financial assessments do not consider long-term complications. This short-sightedness can be problematic.

Monitoring an organization's leadership practices creates focus. That is why organizations must invest in additional consulting. 81% of companies will benefit with additional organizational leadership development. New styles of leadership are entering the business landscape because of the need for honesty and truth. Once again, the key to leadership practices remains the virtues of its leaders.
