Effective leadership must already be in place when a crisis occurs. Leadership must be able to function during the crisis and effectively bring it to resolution so that recovery can begin and proceed as successfully as possible.The existing challenges reinforce the need for leadership that can operate on multiple planes. Competence, planning, and problem-solving abilities form the basis for determining a leader’s success. Innovation, decision making, a prevention orientation, risk taking, and risk management must all be part of the leadership skills package.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a leadership skills education program for higher education students. In this program, education was provided to improve the desire for struggle and goal setting, communication skills, group skills, problem-solving skills, decision-making skills, responsibility awareness, trusting and trustworthiness awareness, leadership awareness and emotional awareness within the framework of leadership skills. The study group of the research consists of final-year students with the average age of 23.8 years studying at the Faculty of Economics of Karabük University in the 2016-2017 academic year.  The data of the study were collected with the “Youth leadership characteristics scale”, “Emotional self-awareness scale” and “Awareness of leader and leadership scale”.  The retrospective pretest-posttest experimental model was used in the study.  The differentiation levels of the pretest and posttest scores of the students included in the education program were examined with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. It was observed at the end of the study that the desire for struggle and goal setting, communication skills, group skills, problem-solving skills, decision-making skills, responsibility awareness, trusting and trustworthiness awareness, leadership awareness and emotional awareness levels of the students who participated in the education program significantly increased from a moderately sufficient level to a quite sufficient level. It was indicated that the applied leadership skills education program was effective.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bu araştırmanın amacı, yükseköğretim öğrencilerine dönük olarak geliştirilen bir liderlik becerileri eğitimi programının etkililiğinin incelenmesidir.

Clinical Coordinator

Clinical coordinators are expected to provide leadership in a pharmacy department. Leadership involves influencing the activities or behaviors of another person. Leaders exhibit several characteristics, including an understanding of themselves, the ability to understand human nature, and the ability to adapt to rapid change. The key leadership skills are situational discretion, communications, motivation, decision-making, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. The situational and principle-centered leadership models provide useful tools for the development of leadership skills.

Entrepreneurial Attitudes

This research is motivated by the high unemployment rate in Indonesia at the diploma and undergraduate level due to limited employment opportunities. This study aims to determine whether entrepreneurial skills (risk taking skills, innovation skills, leadership skills, communication skills, and problem solving skills) affect students' entrepreneurial attitudes. Quantitative methods are used to answer the research problems. The respondents were 97 Accounting students who were taken using accidental sampling technique while the analysis used multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that risk taking skills and innovation skills had an effect on entrepreneurial attitudes. Meanwhile, leadership skills, communication skills, and problem solving skills have no effect on entrepreneurial attitudes.

Political Decision Making

This chapter explores the ways in which gender shaped the respective approaches to political decision-making by the marquis and his wife. I argue that while the delegated nature of her authority encouraged Isabella to keep her emotions strictly in check and to be prudent in a diplomatic setting, Francesco was far more erratic. On the one hand, he adopted strategies of temporizing, prevarication, and swift changes of allegiance to hedge his bets politically, seen by contemporaries as intrinsically female vices, on the other, he indulged in reckless and competitive behaviour designed to display his masculine courage and princely disdain for caution. Together the couple evaded the dangers posed by the second French descent and the fall of Milan to Louis XII, but it was Isabella’s prudence that neutralized the ill-considered risk-taking of her husband.

There have been calls for pre-service teachers to be equipped with leadership skills. The 21st century urges schools and colleges to prepare the next generation of teachers to have leadership skills and to foster these skills among their students in the classroom. Pre-service teachers need to be equipped with leadership skills to be capable of making real changes in society. This study was conducted to examine to what extent pre-service teachers in Bahrain Teachers College possess leadership skills and the strategies faculty ought to use to improve those skills. A validated survey consisting of eight categories of leadership skills was used to collect the data. The sample consisted of 177 students from different majors (Arabic and Islamic, English, Maths and Science, and Cycle One). The results showed that pre-service teachers possess leadership skills and confirmed developing these skills in the classroom. The pre-service teachers enhanced their leadership skills in planning, problem-solving, self, and other management/controlling, communication, teamwork, decision-making, motivating, evaluation. Furthermore, the participants identified teaching strategies such as group presentation, group work, project-based learning, and problem-based learning as the strategies used by faculty in teaching, which they said facilitates the development of leadership skills in the classroom.

The purpose of this study is to examine various aspects which include business case implementation, risk-taking behavior and leadership skills impacts on construction sector of Islamabad, Pakistan. A questionnaire was prepared for the targeted construction firms. Sample size used for analysis was 215. On receipt of the data, a comparative analysis is done by using SPSS software to choose the better options. The better option from business case implementation and the leadership skill have been instrumental in the decision making while risk-taking behavior will have no effect on it. Approaches to the Project management are becoming flexible and more adoptive to compete with the challenges arising out of rapidly change environment and complex projects. However, consideration for the possible potential changes regarding decision making in projects is very rare and less discovered. The Effectual decision making approach in the construction industry has rapidly been growing. It seems that gradually the effectuation approach would replace the traditional methods that have long been in the usage. Keywords: Effectual Decision Making, Risk-Taking Behavior, Business Case Implementation, Leadership Skills, Construction Industry.

Probability Rate

We establish the probability and risk for the next disaster or loss outcome. We select proactive indicators of progress to support risk management and cultural analysis, and hence make predictions of the next outcome probability based on data. We answer the questions asked by Bernoulli and Bayes so long ago: knowing what we know has already happened, how we can predict what will happen next. With limited prior knowledge, the fundamental paradox is that we cannot learn other than by making those very errors, which we seek to avoid. We show how we must follow the Universal Learning Curve, even if we have had no outcomes and may face an unknown risk. Assuming that the future probability, rate and number are based solely on the past experience, we have shown formally the prediction of the future outcome probability and number. Future rate and number reductions will depend on our sustaining a true learning environment. For rare events and risks, we also determine the probability of having (or observing) the very next unknown. We show that it does not matter if we do not know the exact numbers: the learning trend is the key for decision making and risk taking. The rational choice and implication is to trust our experience and not to be afraid of the risk due to the perceived unknown.
