How to make leadership more efficient
Introduction
How to make leadership more efficient? Leadership is not management or guidance. Leadership is the ability to inspire or influence others' goals to leaders, and a successful leader must convince his or her followers that they are a team or family, not just the relationship between the leader and the subordinates. If they have confidence in you and become your followers, this is the beginning of the success of the goal. However, organizations often cannot effectively use managers to develop leadership.
