A good leader is someone who inspires, motivates and guides their team to success. In this article, we will explore the qualities it takes to be a good leader and how to develop them.

1. Communication Skills Effective communication is one of the most important qualities a leader should possess. It involves the ability to convey ideas, goals, and expectations clearly and concisely. A good leader should be a skilled listener, able to understand the concerns and needs of their team members. They should also be able to provide constructive feedback to their team members, both individually and collectively.

I am not sure who needs to hear this BUT i am a woman of many beliefs, I wish for you to put your best foot from here on out, drown out all negativity and keep going, keep your head up because i promise you, whatever you are working towards will be worth it in the end! If you do not have faith you will not succeed, if you do not try hard and be unflappable you will not survive, stop digging yourself a deeper hole of sadness, life goes on and you will be alright despite ANYTHING that may happen to you or a loved one, life is all about having FAITH in ones self and BELIEVING even when there is NO sign that things will get better but everything is temporary so please DO NOT stop now, dont let yourself down! you have the power, you have the strength and knowledge to uplift your spirit and hold yourself up!! #motivation #inspiration #wordsofadvice #determination #advice #inspirational #1

It's been a long time since I've had to find a job. Question: Let's say you have several interviews lined up in the same week. The company you meet with on Tuesday offers you the position. It's acceptable and you don't want to be caught without a job, so you accept. But you keep the rest of your scheduled appointments and are lucky enough to receive a better offer on Friday. Is it ok to then contact the first company and decline/ resign? My friend says absolutely. Have you ever had this happen? If yes. How did you handle it?

As @Janice Reed shared last week about how to snap out of the post holiday blues, one of the options is to consider switching jobs. I’ve seen many people job search while being employed. I was pretty open with my last employer about my decision to leave and was very lucky to get their blessing and support. There are definitely some helpful tips to keep in mind:

• Explore the opportunities in your current company
• Keep things off the radar especially avoid using company resources
• Don’t bad mouthed your current employer
• Use your network actively

I wanted to get opinions on writing thank you letters after an interview. The standard advice is that they are important but I never found that they made any difference in all my years of working. Feedback?

How do you structure a resume for a job that has nothing to do with previous work outlined on current resume?
