Leadership
A good leader is someone who has the capability of sharing their knowledge, someone who has the ability and empathy to get the best version of the people around them. It’s all about communication and empathy. A good follower is someone who doesn’t have an ego and who is willing to learn and be open about different ways of doing things. Once again, empathy.
