are often elevated from below - and become leaders because of their
ability to inspire desire to succeed in those around them. They can in

those requiring support. The driver behind this organizational dynamics
is that “real leaders” have mastered the “soft” and people skills
necessary to inspire people to deliver to their full potential.
