Leadership

What is the definition of a good leader? a person who has commanding authority or influence

So basically a leader is placed in a position of having power but with no true guidelines on how they should act or treat others. Now it may be thought that most systems that contain a leadership role/position hold those attempting to attain the position to certain standards, but what happens when an institution sets its standards to a strict monetary standard?

It can be overwhelming to be placed in a leadership role, especially when the role is attained on a monetary performance base and on nothing to do with ones people skills. It is upon an event like this where those who are good at making money and those who are good at dealing with people should be separated into two groups. 

Someone who is a people person may not be able to develop a business financially, but their recruiting skills are undeniably a necessary factor in building and establishing work environments. 

This is a moment when the managing authoritative figure must learn to balance acclamations between the two different types of leaders within the office. A failure to identify the different attributes and give praise to one over the other will end with a significant amount of the personalities not being praised leaving the office unbalanced.
