Understanding Leadership – ILM Unit Certificate

Managers are leaders in their own right and it is therefore important that they have effective leadership skills. Leadership skills are necessary for the efficient running of a company. Without effective leadership managers whither under pressure, communicate poorly with staff, promote lower morale, delegate responsibility inefficiently and cost companies money.
