Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to achieve a purpose and directs the
organisation in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. Leadership is defined as a social
relationship between two or more individuals who are dependent on each other to achieve some mutual
goals in a group situation. Good leadership helps individuals and groups achieve their goals by focusing on
the maintenance needs of the group and the needs of the task they are helping to achieve. Leaders are the
individuals who will take charge of an organisation and delegate responsibility to other members to achieve
the best results. Leaders provide their team members with the tools for success. Leaders carry out this
process by applying their leadership knowledge and the following skills.
o Assertive Skills
