A leader is somebody who can influence and change people and organizations. They are the only people who can change a traditional organization into a learning organization. A good leader will build relationships with his or her followers. They will recruit new employees, then they will motivate them to become better, then they will coach them and teach them the necessary skills and then they will build trust that will make a relationship last for a very long time. They have to make important decisions regarding policies and the decisions they make will affect the lives of every single person in the organization. This means that they have a huge responsibility and their decisions have big consequences.
