   • What is leadership?
     • Leadership is the ability to inspire a team to achieve a certain goal.

This characteristic makes the leader approachable. Trust: Any type of relationship is based on trust. If there is no trust with the leader, such leadership will dissolve over time. Security: Security and certainty in decision making is something that is highly perceived by society. The greater the degree of security shown, the greater the reach of the leader. Motivation: When we hear motivating and optimistic words that allow us to face life from a different point of view, the leader's impact and influence on people increases.

     • Self-esteem is an assessment that a person has of himself. Being a personal assessment, it does not have logical or rational causes, rather it is based on a set of bodily, mental and emotional traits that the person takes into account before issuing the assessment.
   • sense of personal competence
     • the sense of personal competence is the security that a person has that they are prepared to deal with the situations that arise throughout life. This feeling gives the peace of mind knowing that, based on our knowledge and skills, we will be able to get ahead, whatever the problem that arises. People who feel competent have high self-esteem and feel confident about themselves. On the contrary, a person who believes that he is not competent will feel insecure and will live in fear of changes and new situations, which will reduce his self-esteem.
   • involvement in leadership
     • Managerial leadership is the process of directing various work activities of the members of a group or organization and directly influencing them. The aforementioned definition has four very important implications: The first is that leadership includes other people; to followers or employees. The members of the group or organization, given their own will to accept the orders of the person in charge of leadership, help a lot to define the position of that leader and thus allow the leadership process to pass pleasantly; if there were no people to command, leadership characteristics would be totally irrelevant
