The impact of a leader permeates throughout a business. This impact contributes to employees’ company vision and a sense of purpose — or alternatively it may result in scepticism and a lack of direction regarding company goals.
Effective leadership builds camaraderie and cohesive team work, however poor leadership may encourage undermining conduct harmful to an organisation’s bottom line and corporate culture.
Great leaders inspire trust by valuing people’ talents and abilities, fostering an open communication environment and cultivating a shared company vision. This inspires greater innovation, collaboration and heightens employee morale and retention.
