Today, every country or nations, people\u2019s groups, families, and organizations are affected by ineffectiveness of leadership. The rise and fall every nations and organizations today is on the account of leadership. This is because of lack of leadership skills, failure to practice the right styles of leadership in given situations, and above all negligence of positive character development. When the leader lacks appropriate leadership qualities and refusal to pay the price to do what leadership requires of the leader.<\/span>
