Developing Skills for Successful Leader

This study sought to determine whether different job functions demand different levels of leadership ability. Because leadership skills can be learned and developed, this study emphasises them over other leadership constructs like leadership qualities. Leaders must inspire and exert influence over all stakeholders in order to be successful. This includes the board of directors, the shareholders, the staff, the vendors, and the clients. The goal of this study is to determine if there are any variations in the cognitive, interpersonal, and business leadership abilities of leaders in sales, finance, and human resources. Leadership involves creating and articulating a vision and inspiring others to want to work toward that vision. But leaders may not be skilled at or involved with the day-to-day management of the work needed to turn that vision into a reality.
