Leadership is not a person; leadership is an action, and it is your actions not your words that will influence your followers. It therefore becomes essential that you cultivate your leadership power, presence, and purpose to connect and inspire your people towards the desired organizational outcome. The link between effective leadership and organisational strategy is crucial. Before planning, leaders must determine the outcomes they seek and share their vision across the organisation, to maximise commitment to action. Only by galvanizing the workforce, being clear about the aims and making best use of resources, can organisations beat the competition and achieve their objectives.
