As discussed by Pernick, (2001) a good leadership skills are visionary, capable of strategic, predictable changes, great opportunities in the future. Leaders create the impression in the hearts employees have many skills that a normal person cannot afford it. So that's what skills and talented leaders who have adopted such skills as how to achieve your goals. There are many skills of leadership, it may includes:

Decision-making skills: Decision-making is the key stages in management, leadership skills, which is when they have to choose the best solution to solve love problems or decide to plan something (Katz, 1955). The decision to fast or slow, right or wrong will determine the outcome of such plans. Therefore, when making decisions leaders must always consider all the advantages and risks confronting, the decision reflected the capacity and qualification of leaders. Therefore, to get the skills, the leader must have extensive knowledge, sharp reasoning and experience, experience in life and work.

Problem-solving skills: Being a good leader, it is needed to have the skills to solve the problem quickly and accurately. The leader cannot ignore or push the responsibility for others when there are difficult problems or issues arising in their collective. To do this, the leader must be the truly fair and quick grasp favorable opportunity to resolve the issue is best (Pernick, 2001). Not slow but do not be too hasty, if yourself push things more complicated and may cause misunderstanding employees are incompetent, unworthy of the leadership position that people entrusted for.

Strategic thinking: Strategic thinking is extremely important for the leader; it represents a strategic vision and leadership of both companies.

Spicer, 2001).

Communication skills work: The leader means they have to have management skills and communication for employees. If leaders want to wear their subordinates do whatever she or sitting for time out means you do not have the capacity of a leader.

The careful this time leaders must know how to motivate them, have a clear reward. However, a leader should not scold their employees before others, make personal meetings and remind them, besides go have words of encouragement for them to escape the situation is not good at the time. So you truly are good leaders and staff understand psychology (Bono & Ilies, 2006).
