Core Skill: Leadership

Leadership is the ability to create positive action towards a mission through motivating others and accomplishing goals. Leadership requires self-awareness, empathy in building relationships, drive to set and achieve goals, and action for positive change.

Successful organizations require people who can craft a compelling vision and possess the social capital necessary to galvanize people around a mutual goal, the strategic thinking to craft a plan, and the capability to deliver what is required.
