Fundamentals of Leadership Skills

The success of every leader is the determined by the ability to effectively adopt the right leadership skills for every situation.

The question of what makes a good leader—in other words, what are leadership skills—is widely debated. It is clear that the ability to lead effectively relies on a number of key skills, but also that different leaders have very different 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 flexibility and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Leadership skills are highly sought after by employers as they involve dealing with people in such a way as to motivate, enthuse and build respect.
