Module 1 \#3 Guidelines for action and skill development Vast amounts of information have been gathered about leaders and leadership, and many different leadership theories have been developed. Many leadership research findings and theories are confusing and contradictory. Nevertheless, from this thicket of information emerge many useful leadership concepts and techniques to guide you toward becoming a more effective leader.

Then choose the formulation that seems best to fit the leadership situation you face. For example, if you are leading a team, review the information about team leadership.
