Are you the leader of an organisation? Maybe you have a small or a large team working with you. Have you ever stopped to think what it means to be a leader? As a leader you bring certain characteristics and strengths, but you also have responsibilities.

Leadership in business is about building a vision shared by everyone in your team and motivating and 
encouraging themto achieve the set goals. Your team is vital because they arethe people who will help the 
business reach its goals. But they are relying on you to show them where the goals are and the
best path to reach them.
 
Being an effective leader is about being a coach, facilitator, trainer and motivator. It cannot be achieved by sitting in isolation in an office. It has to be achieved by upfront leadership, excellent communication, articulating your vision while encouraging the opinions of your team and ensuring that appropriate systems are put in place so the team can perform their tasks effectively.

Effective leadership is vital to any business. It can help steer the business in the right direction and move it forward towards greater profitability.
