The Importance Of Skills Approach To Leadership
Leadership is a process where all individuals, the leader and followers, work together to achieve a common goal; it is not any single characteristic

address the primary concepts of each theory as well as the strengths and weaknesses of my test results along with opportunities for improvement.

technical skill is the ability to work with things, conceptual skill is the ability to work with ideas and concepts, and human skill is the ability to
