Leaders are supposed to be a source of encouragement as well as being able to inspire people to achieve their required goals. In companies, leaders have to be able to motivate the team to be able to achieve the objectives of the project at hand. It is important to note that, despite the fact that duties and functions of a leader are singular; the leader is required to be a component of the team striving for the objectives of the project. In this way, the leader will be prepared to work hard without waiting for the results to happen. Leaders are also supposed to have confidence. This is because without confidence the leader will not be able to direct the team in the direction that will bear fruits. The leader will thus instill confidence in his team and put handwork to the project to end in time. The team will look up to the leader as their inspiration and confidence to complete the designated task. (Blake, Mouton)
