Leadership skills can play a large role in career development. Often, your technical skills can only take you so far. To help you move forward in your career, you need soft skills such as the ability to be a good leader. Therefore, leadership skills are considered to be important traits which can help you get to the top of your career field.
Few people are born to be leaders. Most of us need to practice being a good leader, and that's why leadership development is so important. There are many different types of leadership, and there are many skillsets that can help you become a successful leader.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, I don't formally/officially work. For one thing I have disabilities.
However, I am the Coach of groups on Facebook: my 'Group for Suicidal Active Duty and for Suicidal Veterans', The link to my my 'Group for Veterans with Mental Health Issues...or Not', is the following: http//:http://www.facebook.com/groupforsuicidalactivedutyandforsuicidalveterans
my 'Group for Police Officers: Suicidal/Depressed/PTSD', my 'Margaret C Higgins US Army (Ret)' group, and my 'FINE ARTS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY: MARGARET CHRISTIE HIGGINS SHAUN' group.
Thusly, I am a photographer; and I try to coach- lead, mentor, guide, help out and cheer up Veterans, Active Duty Service Members, Retirees, and in general- people: wherever I am and wherever I go.
-Good Morning, Mikel!
-Margaret

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
COL Lee Flemming Excellent! I was asked that question recently - "How are you at building coalitions internally and externally?" Very important skill needed in today's leaders! Thanks for sharing!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - and it is absolutely a different skill set from my earlier days, but is made even more necessary when commanding at the combined and joint level.

Yes Sir, I noted that when telling how those that were in our employ(even though they were my partner's relations ) knew what was expected and could be trusted to carry on in their jobs and act as young responsible almost-adults..

For me, having had such a diverse military career where you are exposed to many different types of cultures, ideas and characters it gave me the ability to be more flexible in the civilian sector when addressing an issue or when propelling a new or existing company policy. I think we are most fortunate that we are made to work together and because we have been forced to adjust to others outside of our comfort bubbles it allows us to understand many point of views which in turn allows you to make a better informed decision in matters.
