Leadership involves influencing people to achieve organizational goals through vision, followership, and inspiration. Good leaders share a vision for the future, lead change efforts, inspire people, and serve as role models of honesty, empowerment, and competence. There are different leadership styles such as autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire that are based on the level of authority. Key leadership skills include communication, motivation, creativity, positivity, feedback, and the ability to develop others. Leaders can improve their skills by volunteering for new tasks, teaching others, understanding their strengths and weaknesses.
