1. Leadership Characteristics
Leadership involves providing vision, direction, coordination and motivation toward
achieving management goals: A leader is someone who sets direction and influences
people to follow that direction.
This requires the ability to create an environment that encourages self-discovery and the
testing of assumptions that may impede growth, change and the development of a
shared vision.

authentic feedback, we are building trust and free ourselves and our organization to
embrace constructive change
