Self-assurance, and the confidence to purposely drive toward results while constantly problem-solving and engaging the commitment of others is essential. A leadership style that is firm and goal oriented, and yet motivates, trains, and engages others in an enthusiastic way is important.The emphasis on building rapport and relationships with individuals and groups requires an outgoing, poised and persuasive communication style.
