    Leadership skills involve knowing yourself, having a clear vision that is communicated well, building trust with colleagues, and taking effective action. Early theories viewed leaders as exceptional people born with innate qualities to lead, while trait theories researched qualities associated with leadership. More recent theories focus on transformational leadership that inspires growth beyond self-interest, and ethical leadership principles of purpose, people, planet and probity. Key responsibilities for team leaders are to guide the team, provide structure, clarify working methods, and focus on performance.
