Leadership is the ability to bring people together with strong influences aimed at creating and inspiring vision in them, motivating these people to get involved in a particular action and overseeing the delivery particular goals from the people (Daft, 2014). As such, the key features that a leader is supposed to possess include factors like vision inspiration and creation, motivational, vision management, and team building and coaching and. As such, I agree with the author that a leader is supposed to have particular qualities which are in line with the leadership features to ensure that organizational objectives are met (Daft, 2014). It is true that leaders are supposed to set examples to their subjects by taking positive stances in every action that they do, setting organizational objectives, taking responsibility for the wrongs committed in the organization and being flexible enough to accommodate changes in the workings of the organization.
In order for leaders to make sure that the tasks given to them are realized, there is the need for proper communication channels which will be an important factor in ensuring that the objectives they set are achieved. Communication in organizations plays an important role in conflict management, accepting and appreciating the multicultural backgrounds of the staff and also in interpersonal relationships (Hackman & Johnson, 2013). Therefore, it is crucial that for effective leadership, good communication skills should be included as an ingredient for good working relationships. As such, I agree with the author that communication is crucial to leaders in showing them how to interact with the staff in the organization thus achieving the set objectives. It is, therefore, vital that leaders provide a framework that will be vital in ensuring that they top-down and bottom communication approaches are adhered to in the organization.
