Essential Leadership Techniques
One of the most significant challenges is transitioning from being a ‘doer’ to a ‘leader’. Leadership is a learned skill. While attributes such as work ethic, determination, enthusiasm, and integrity likely contributed to your promotion and may come naturally, leadership skills need to be learned, earned, and practiced.
