Leaders are found everywhere. There are leaders in sports, business or even in social circles. The leader’s job is to concentrate a group’s energy towards the completion of a goal. When we say leadership, it is about directing or motivating people for a certain task. Though everybody believes that the best teacher is experience, leadership and  management skills can be learned by reading, taking courses or attending seminars.

      In an achievement-striving team, everyone must work together. Only by practicing leadership and management can one truly appreciate the effort it takes to have everyone work together. People have different personalities, tastes, motivations, likes and dislikes. No two people are the same. However, for a team to act effectively, everyone needs to work together. A good leader is able to rally everyone so that the team is successful in anything they attempt.

      Institutions will difintely succeed if there are good leaders in the workfoce. That is why each school has an administrator or the officer-in-charge. They usually attend leadeship and management course to ensure that good leadership techniques and skills are on their grasp.

      By regularly attending these courses, the managers are motivated and able to use what they learned to lead others towards success.

      Schools need good leaders as well, in the form of teahers. Teachers must be able to motivate the pupils into learning and must be able to take problems ans turn them into possibilities to increse learning. If pupils are motivated or excited about the topic at hand, the objectives of the lesson are always at hand.

      Leadership and management skills are important in all walks of life.  They teach people to think quickly on their feet and to be ready for anything. Good leaders can be made. The key to be ready for whatever may happen.
