Then, we learned about several leadership styles, including the situational leadership model and leadership by example. We then saw how we can create good task descriptions using the SMART criteria. We also mentioned empathy and active listening as the most important soft skills of a leader. We also explored the concepts of continuous learning and a growth mindset.
