What does a leader do?

An effective leader guides a group of individuals toward a common goal. They set a clear direction and vision, motivate and inspire their team, communicate effectively, and delegate tasks to achieve objectives. This involves creating a positive work environment, recognizing achievements, and fostering teamwork.

Effective communication is also a critical component of leadership. A leader must be able to clearly communicate their vision, expectations, and feedback to their team. This involves not only speaking and writing effectively but also actively listening and seeking feedback from others.

By fostering open and honest communication, a leader can build trust and create a more engaged and productive team. By making decisions that align with the overall vision and objectives of the organisation, leaders can help individuals and organisations achieve success.
