Leaders determine an organization’s future. Many times, organizations suffer a leadership gap — having many employees but no identified successors for current leaders. In other cases, there are many identified potential successors but very few have the traits of strong and effective leaders who make a real difference in the lives of people. Furthermore, some people have the misconception that Leadership Skills are only important for People Managers or Executives. The truth is, everyone can be a leader; and the ability to inspire, influence and motivate others towards a certain vision is essential to effectively impact people within or outside your team and drive them to deliver incredible results.
