Managers need to possess leadership skills like planning, organizing, delegating, and effective communication. "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things, SAYS BY DR.L. O JIMOH in one of his articles. But when the line between the two blurs, managers become excellent leaders and leaders become effective managers. Be it a small firm of twenty employees, a multinational company of a thousand professionals, or a country of millions; all are organizations.
And leadership has a big role to play in directing an organization's resources on the path of progress. For this, leaders have to be created. Yes, leaders can be made. How? By inculcating in them the qualities that a good leader should have. Leadership development should start from an early age. Leadership activities and team games can definitely help introduce leadership traits in children. Activities like these help the children identify their hidden leadership traits.
Leadership exercises conducted at the corporate level help identify true leaders in the organization and sharpen their managerial skills. The future of our institutions and country, are secure only in the hands of able leaders who can influence the masses with their thoughts and actions. Effective leaders are those who have the ability to listen, think, foresee, understand, and act. True leaders are those who dare to dream and live to lead!. Remember that leaders are SERVANTS to the followers.
