This study examines how personal strategies for career advancement and leadership skills can be developed by drawing a red line from the trait theories of leadership and charismatic-transformational leadership. Shackleton's experience will provide an important example and reinforce those two theories which suggest that no leadership theories can be applied in isolation and that directly or indirectly, those theories will be manifested in a successful leader. Some challenges to the future leadership are examined in order to develop some personal career strategies that may be applicable for future careers. Five strategies (personal vision, personal development, mentoring, team building, and learning and change) of future leadership career are finally suggested. The first two strategies deal with the development of personal leadership started by setting a personal mission which inspires the development of personal leadership qualities. The next two strategies, mentoring and team-building are intended to incorporate the personal leadership into an organisational setting and make the leadership meaningful for other people. Finally, it can be inferred that those four strategies are not sufficient in a turbulent and dynamic environment and thus the last strategy is required to enhance the leaders' ability to stimulate learning and change in the organisation. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara mendalam tentang bagaimanakah strategi-strategi untuk meningkatkan karir dan kemampuan kepemimpinan seorang individu dapat dibangun dengan berfokus pada teori kepemimpinan trait dan teori kepemimpinan transformasi karismatik. Pengalaman Shackleton akan menjadi contoh yang penting dan menguatkan, bahwa tidak satupun dari kedua teori kepemimpinan tersebut dapat diaplikasikan didalam suatu keadaan yang terisolasi, dan bahwa kedua teori tersebut, baik secara langsung maupun tidak, akan termanifestasikan dalam diri seorang pemimpin yang sukses. Berbagai tantangan terhadap kepemimpinan di masa mendatang juga dibahas dengan tujuan untuk merumuskan beberapa strategi karir perorangan yang mungkin dapat diaplikasikan untuk pencapaian karir seseorang di kemudian hari. Terdapat lima strategi karir yang disarankan yaitu visi pribadi, pengembangan pribadi, mentoring, pembentukan team, dan pembelajaran dan perubahan. Dua strategi pertama berkaitan dengan pembangunan kepemimpinan pribadi yang didahului dengan penetapan misi pribadi yang mengilhami pembentukan kualitas kepemimpinan seseorang. Dua strategi selanjutnya ditujukan untuk mengintegrasikan kepemimpinan pribadi ke dalam sebuah kerangka organisasi dan membuat kepemimpinan tersebut berdampak bagi orang lain. Akan tetapi, keempat strategi tersebut tidak cukup mampu untuk diterapkan dalam suatu situasi yang tidak menentu dan dalam lingkungan yang selalu berubah secara dinamis, sehingga diperlukan strategi kelima untuk meningkatkan kemampuan para pemimpin dalam merangsang atau memotivasi minat belajar dan perubahan dalam organisasi. Kata Kunci: kepemimpinan, teori kepemimpinan trait, kepemimpinan transformasi karismatik.Downloads
