Leadership skills are essential in ensuring effective management in a team of an organisation. Lack of skills could cause communication issues. conflicts. low motivation, low morale of employees and many other damaging factors towards an organization. The impact of effective or powerful leadership has proven towards a positive gain or feedback in return including profit a reputation perspectives. In certain circumstances. effective leadership is important to manage changes when change is the only method in sustaining an organisation in the current business environment. In managing crisis. good leadership could prevent or reduce the damage that occurred from various aspects. Such skills are significant for any types of the organization including the academia and the industry as well.
