This illustration is my effective process of leadership. This leadership

process shows long term leadership development. Leadership is a long-
term process in which in a very real and practical way, all of our actions
have consequences.
The illustration shows the relationship between four factors that
contribute to leadership success or failure. The Leader, she is the person
who takes charge and directs the groups performance. The Followers, the
people who follow the leader’s directions on tasks and projects and the
followers also largely responsible for the outcomes that are achieved. The
Context, this is the situation in which the work is performed. It can also
cover the physical environment, resources available, and events in the
wider organization. The Outcomes, these are the results of the process. It
could be reaching a school goal.
The illustration highlights that leadership is dynamic and ongoing
process. Therefore, it is important to be flexible depending on the context
and outcomes, and to invest continually in your relationship with your
followers.
Essentially, everything affects everything else. In a very real way,
negative actions feedbacks to negatively affect future performance and
positive action feedback to improve and have effective future performance.
 As a Leader, I can apply this illustration effective process of leadership
to my own development and to the development of my followers by
providing regular feedback, because it is the most important thing that the
leadership process highlights is how important it is to give good feedback,
so that my team can grow and develop. When you give feedback to your
team, it influences the context and helps to improve the outcome. This then
cycles back to influence you and your team in a positive and effective way.
Regular feedback also helps take your followers in the right direction as
outcomes and the context change. Also, Be aware of actions and reactions.
As a leader, it’s essential that you keep this in mind at all times. There will
be consequences when you say something thoughtless in your team
member. Those consequences might include diminished performance,
reduced morale, and accelerated staff turnover. Also Lead honestly and
ethically, the illustration shows relationships between leaders and followers.
If this relationship is built on mutual trust and respect, then the context and
outcomes will get better and better. Also, be authentic in your actions and
communication, lead with integrity and be humble
