Leaders are very important in terms of thinking and creating innovative ideas as leaders would often challenge old particular ways and look for new approaches for improvements. A good leader consists of many attributes i.e. influential, motivating and enables others to work in a manner where it is acceptable in the working environment of the organisation. By having strong communication skills with their subordinates, a strong team can be developed to a point where clear goals are set consequently leading to  the future success of the organisation..
