"For leaders, the first task in management has nothing to do with leading others; step one poses the challenge of knowing and managing oneself," so said Daniel Goleman; renowned US management leadership guru and writer.
Every organisation needs leaders. If you put any group of people together, and set them a task so that they have to work together, a natural leader or leadership group will emerge. This natural ability to size up a situation, and enable a team to work effectively towards a solution, is a valuable attribute for anyone to possess.
Everyone possesses different signs and styles of this ability, which shows itself in different ways in different people. Such natural talents have to be shaped and adapted to ensure the individual's full leadership potential is harnessed.
Leadership skills can come through in a variety of settings, from the sports field to the corporate boardroom. Most people looking to take a nightcourse in leadership, will probably be more worried about their career prospects than their five-a-side football team however. A leadership qualification on a candidates CV can be very useful, whether you are looking to gain promotion at work, or to explore new employment options further afield.
