Developing one’s own leadership abilities can be fun, and growing as a leader can be rewarding because of the benefits of higher intrinsic rewards such as well-being, and the intrinsic motivation of wanting to improve one’s surroundings. Complex and challenging activities, along with effective and constructive feedback, can encourage a person to grow. The desire to learn and grow comes from the realization that growth is both necessary and enjoyable. Intrinsic reasons include a desire to grow as well as interest in changing some aspect of one’s environment. I propose that people aspire to become leaders mainly for either intrinsic or extrinsic reasons. So how must one see oneself as such a leader? What makes someone want to become a leader? How would someone go about developing into an influential leader, and what are the reasons for wanting to become such a high impact leader in the first place? Great leaders can make an enormous impact in their organization and may even inspire a whole new generation of leaders. I am particularly interested in researching the “Passion and Purpose” component of the LeAD 6P leadership model and the motivational processes behind leadership development.
