Effective and Dynamic Leadership
“The successful organisation has one major attribute that sets it apart from unsuccessful organisations: dynamic and effective leadership.”
What is leadership? A simple definition of leadership is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
