BUS 660 Contemporary Issues in Organizational Leadership

The ability to inspire loyalty, motivate, and promote positive workplace productivity dependents on a leader and his or her leadership skills. Employees rely on leaders for inspiration and support, making it important for leaders to ensure he or she has well developed leadership skills. Leadership skills can be developed life or job experiences, education, and observing other leaders. A good leader will contain traits like competence, honesty, ethics, drive, and innovation. These traits and skills are important but the three leadership skills a leader must contain are credibility, recognition, and effective communication. When a person does not contain these skills, he or she may be just an individual and not a true leader.
