Leadership development refers to the process of enhancing the skills, abilities, and qualities of individuals to become effective leaders. It involves providing learning opportunities, training, and support to help individuals develop the necessary competencies to lead teams, organizations, or communities successfully. Leadership development programs aim to foster leadership qualities such as vision, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, and emotional intelligence.

Leadership development often begins with self-assessment to identify strengths, areas for improvement, and leadership goals. Understanding one’s leadership style and personal attributes is essential for growth.
