LEADERSHIP
leadership is the art of
motivating a group of
people to act towards
achieving a common
goal.
Effective leadership is based
upon ideas, but won't
happen unless those ideas
can be communicated to
others in a way that
engages them.
The leader is the inspiration and director of the action. He is
the person in the group that possesses the combination of
personality and leadership skills that makes others want to
follow his direction.
In Business,
leadership is welded to performance. Those who
are viewed as effective leaders are those who
increase their company's bottom lines.
