new leadership methods that are appropriate for the growing demands of the job. In contrast to
the past, today's leaders are taught, mentored, and evaluated in order to mold the most suitable
characters for the needs of the game's requirements. I used the Authentic Leadership
skills.
Using the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire, I found out that I was a goal-oriented
leader. This is true because a goal-oriented approach to leadership includes the establishment of
