Leadership is an important function that enables an organisation (business, government, charitable, etc.) to focus its energies and resources on the common accomplishment of the organisational goals. The people in an organisation can only direct their efforts in the right direction when they have a leader to look forward to.
Leaders can define workplace cultures that foster the accomplishment of common goals. What are the key attributes that an efficient leader ought to have? Is (s)he born with such qualities, or can be developed? We have your answers covered in today's episode of "The Brand Called You."
Mahan Tavakoli is the CEO of Strategic Leadership Ventures and hosts a podcast, “Partnering Leadership”.
Mahan starts the discussion with if leaders are born or made. While giving reasoning, he explains how people with initial capability fail to build on it, and thus, leadership can be developed over time.
