Executive & Business Leadership Development Leadership has become a buzz word in the workplace. Managers want to possess strong leadership skills to effectively lead their teams, employees want to see admirable leadership skills displayed by their managers and supervisors, and customers expect sound leadership from the organizations they choose to do business with. So, what is leadership, you might ask? Essentially, leadership is the act of guiding, giving direction and mobilizing resources to achieve desired outcomes.
