Question 1: Leadership is said to be a vital quality which is becoming very rare in the
organisations. It would not be wrong if we say that it is a progression where an individual
solicits the backing of other entities for the completion of mutual objectives. The leaders
are the visionaries and also act as a catalyst in terms of influencing and inspiring others.
