Leadership is not the person, it is the practice of mindsets and behaviours that helps people work together to accomplish a goal.
Effective leadership has profound benefits.
It requires a range of skills including
self awareness and agency
social awareness and agency
situational awareness and agency
courage and humility
Good leaders understand this with a willingness to learn and adapt with their team.
