Question 

Since the late 1980s, leadership development has evolved into an extensive industry and a burgeoning field of research, supported by an increasing array of theoretical frameworks [10, 11]. However, leadership development programs (LDPs) typically do not draw upon theoretical models or frameworks, as they are predominantly influenced by various competency models and team-based strategies [10]. Traditionally, there has been a greater emphasis on the leader's individual development [12]. Leadership competence is identified as the knowledge, skills, behaviors, abilities, and attitudes that contribute to individual effectiveness [7]. While leader development focuses on intrapersonal growth, leadership development is recognized as interpersonal processes aimed at enhancing collective leadership capacity. The book I chose called Cracking the Leadership Code wrote about key principles and strategies necessary to become an effective leader, the book starts with a clear vision for leadership goals that sets the standard for the rest of the book. One key take away I got from the book was the talk about emotional intelligence, this means you have a self-awareness about how your actions and decisions that ultimately affect your team. Ethical and transparent leadership was another great takeaway from this book, this section spoke about integrity and demonstrating honest actions and outcomes staying transparent. Communication would have to be the third and final effective communication is vital between leadership and staff, making sure you listen to the concerns of the patients and staff is one way to ensure good leadership. This book aligns with the leader.
