Leadership

Business leaders often find themselves needing to delegate work on a project or within a business. This delegation requires careful planning, consideration of the company's needs, the project's requirements, and the skills and talents of individuals to which the tasks at hand must be delegated. It is a delicate process that requires reflection, intuition and effective evaluation of a staff. This is a critical part of encouraging high levels of productivity, and leadership plays a quintessential part in the delegation and management process.

Leadership is critical in the success of projects, as the person excreting control over the management and direction of the project can be critical in determining whether the project is a success or failure.  Without leadership, it might cause arguments and conflicts as the employees in the organization see things in a different ways and lead to a different solution.

Olasupo believed that leadership could be understood as the manner in which the leader behave and communicate with his delegates. Leaders project the standards that they want from employees, and set a strong example to others. There is not one style of leadership that suits all environments and situations, rather a good leader should know when to exhibit the different traits of a leader and in what environment to these skills will be applied.
