Have you ever viewed an effective leader in action and wondered about the qualities required to be such a leader? Effective leadership involves developing an organization’s vision and mission and making decisions to properly promote the actions to achieve both. The implications of a leader’s decisions and actions could be political, social, economic, or ethical in nature; however, an effective leader uses foresight and wisdom to analyze these implications and their impact in the long run.
