However, the ability to lead effectively relies on several key skills, but also leaders have vastly distinctive characteristics and styles. There is, in fact, no one right way to lead in all circumstances, and one of the main characteristics of good leaders is their agility and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
Leaders are essential when it comes to devising and communicating new strategic directions and communicating with and motivating employees to enhance commitment to organizational goals.
