Introduction
Leadership is an essential aspect, and it should be managed well to ensure success in all operations carried out by the stakeholders in an organization. Although leaders may face difficulties in the management process, they should device effective ways of attaining solutions. Thus, my partner and I plan on holding a leadership workshop at Harley organization to facilitate the leaders attending with the necessary skills required for their work.
