An effective leader must be able to interact with employees, peers, seniors and many other individuals both inside and outside the organization.

Leaders must gain the support of many people to meet or exceed established objectives. This means that they must develop or possess a unique understanding of people.

The ability to coach-mentor and teach leadership skills to others is the driving force that will create a winning organization. Being an effective leader requires the understanding of the principles that govern employee behavior. Accomplish that and success is imminent.

If you can teach and develop leadership in your employees, your personal leadership effectiveness will improve. That old saying; "If you want to learn something fast --- teach it." holds true for leadership development.

But remember, there is no such thing as a "Born Leader" even though every human being has some level of innate leadership potential.

Effective leaders go through a never ending development process. You never stop learning, you never stop growing and you should never stop teaching and developing leadership in others.
