In today's work environment it is very important that managers play the role as a leader by being seen as an equal to their subordinates and not as a boss. Being an effective leader involves motivating, communicating, building trust, and getting involved with your employees. A leader must communicate the goals of the company clearly to his co-workers. In today's rapidly changing and growing workplace, it is important to have a leader that can also change. Leadership is preparing and guiding people through the challenges of the future.
Leadership is an evolutionary process.
No one can make you a leader. No one can appoint or anoint you a leader. A good strong leader is someone that can motivate others around him or her to focus on specific goals by providing some sort of direction. A leader must be able to persuade and influence his or her co-workers. A supervisors personality is very important in being a good leader.
