Evaluate the effectiveness of the roles that the strategic leaders played in the formation of the performance management strategy. According to Silzer and Dowell (2010), Talent Management is defined as “ an integrated set of processes, programs, and cultural norms in an organization designed and implemented to attract, develop, deploy, and retain talent to achieve strategic objectives and meet future business needs” (p. 18).

Compare and evaluate the effectiveness of different leadership styles used in the uniformed public services In this essay, I will be comparing and evaluating different types of leadership style and how effective each one is.

There can be different leadership styles that may work for some people, but not others.
