Leadership

"In modern-day business, both the words “leadership” and “management” are two terms that emerge in descriptions of essentially the same competency: achieving results through others.

Leadership is all about people. It is a skill set that brings into play many interrelated parts including vision, trust, influence, character, service, motivation, inspiration, and empowerment, just to name a few. But in virtually every business environment everywhere in the world, leadership depends on the ability of the leader to understand how to work with the people around them.

The most effective leaders know their team: what makes them tick, what strengths they possess, how they prefer to go about their work, and what activities will excite or deflate them. Leadership is the business of people, and by understanding the individual make-up of each and every team member, leaders are able to be more effective in everything they do."
