An organization does not generate itself—it is founded by one or more people who take the initiative to put an idea into action. Leadership is the cement that unites members of an organization to achieve a common end.
Leadership helps members of an organization understand the organization’s purpose, and makes sure they do not lose sight of the organization’s vision. If an organization functions ineffectively, leadership helps members cope with the changes needed to improve the organization, enabling fulfillment of the vision or goals.
Leadership also helps members of an organization work to their full potential. If a team has the ability and resources to complete a task, leadership can provide the motivation and inspiration the team needs to complete the task.
In this course you will learn to: Identify a leader, define the vision of an organization and write a vision statement, and relate goals to the vision statement.
