Empathy: The Core of Modern Leadership

Leadership as an organizational management nuance has been debated among leadership experts as an art or a science.

Most transformational leaders don’t need political power to change human society; they need their conviction, roadmap, and strategy more than anything else. Don’t let anyone deceive you into thinking that you can’t make a change until you become a politician. The American Society, envied by all, was principally built into a flourishing state by entrepreneurs. The role of the government was to provide policies to curb their excesses.
