We would like to inspire the managerial staffs to sharpen their interpersonal skills and manage the workforce with greater effectiveness. Our finding is that anyone having a desire to lead people towards organisational vision, can master the people skills and can create necessary environment where employees would love to work. The most prominent skills where a manager should concentrate are given below. Similarly, the subordinates go through the process of appreciating the most common traits of an effective leader and they develop an eye for valuing the manager’s approach to many situations and their manners to deal with the people issues. By sharpening the leadership skills, the subordinates get to help each other more effectively and get motivated to practice skills that will help them attain leadership positions in the organization.

• I- Leadership

There always is a debate on leadership. Some experts say “Leaders are born - They are born with some qualities, called traits that naturally inspire them to lead people. If someone is not born with those traits he can never be a leader”. However, modern research on corporate leadership has disproved the traditional trait concept. They have enough evidence to prove that leadership is behaviour and can be acquired by those who are interested in leading people. The contingent theories on the leadership, with several instances, have further informed that leadership is situational. A particular leadership style suits to a particular situation, and leaders should change their styles to adapt them with the changing circumstances.

We will provide some inputs and inspire people in the organisation to acquire those traits or qualities and lead people in the right direction to achieve corporate goals. Below is a typical flow we adopt:
