Introduction
This topic will look at Leadership, and, in particular, the recommendations made by various people on the ingredients of good leadership and whether leadership can be learned or is something innate - that people are born with.
Traditional ideas of leadership tend to take the view that leadership is a task to be performed, and that a good leader is able to look at a situation and adapt accordingly. More modern views of leadership tend to explain leadership in terms of feelings and having an empathy - an understanding of people, and also of themselves - sometimes referred to as Emotional Intelligence.
This topic will provide you with an opportunity to review some of the ideas surrounding leadership in order to help you become a better leader.
