Reason for study

Organizational managers are no longer purely functional and hierarchical members of an organization. They have become multi-taskers that need to manage and lead their teams, and while some managers can display excellent technical and professional skills they sometimes lack key leadership skills.

Managers and leaders in businesses and organizations do have separate roles, but modern day management gurus have identified the need for managers to undergo leadership development in the form of leadership skills training.
