What is leadership?
The skill of influencing or leading a group of people so that they
are able to accomplish a goal or mission. Leaders motivate people
to do a job. Whenever a company or organization has to deal with
people and problems they will need an effective leader.

Employers and managers come together to
combine ideas for a decision. The leader

this style the team members are given certain tasks based on
the information.

Effective communication
Communication is a big part of leadership since all the team members that
you are leading have to understand what message you are trying to bring
across to them. If I'm manger of a ice cream factory and I would like to
create a new favour of ice cream I would need good communication skills
to bring across my objectives for the assignment.

1. Make eye contact

2. Be aware of who you are talking to and communicate

accordingly

3. Use the right medium

4. Use clear language and proper posture
