A leader is a person who has a vision, a drive and a commitment to achieve that vision, and the skills to make it happen. While leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their team to the right destination in a smooth and efficient way.
The old-fashioned view of leadership is that leaders are marked out for leadership from early on in their lives; and that if you are not a born leader, there’s little you can do to become one.
That’s not the way we see it now. The modern view is that through patience, persistence and hard work, you can be a truly effective leader, just as long as you make the effort needed.
