Leadership is a vital management function that helps to direct an organization's resources for improved efficiency and the achievement of goals. A good leader can inspire everyone in an organization to achieve their very best. Influential leaders provide clarity of purpose, motivate and guide the organization to realize its mission.
How a person presents him/herself in a leadership role affects the ability to successfully leverage authority and motivate others. True leadership applies influence rather than dictation to inspire a team to achieve more. These leaders can incite action in others simply by mastering the skills of communication and motivation tailored to individuals.
Artificial intelligence has seen increasing importance in Indian organizations, public and private, over the last decade. The government has also shown intent to leverage AI for the country's development through various initiatives.
