Then to make them achieve their goals with companies goal will be my task.
IS LEADERSHIP LEARNED OR INNATE
In my opinion you don’t have to born with leadership qualities they can be attained by the experience. There are so many examples around us like Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King or other famous leaders by whom we get influenced in our life. We need to have patience and open mind to learn these skills and put them in to real life.
