Leadership Communication
I believe that the most important leadership skill that I have is communication. In Neal Gabler’s biography of Walt Disney, he described that Walt Disney held firm beliefs that nearly all workplace conflict can be prevented or managed by good communication. I tend to hold the same belief.
