A  good direction is much needed to create a successful life. Without direction, humans are the same as the kite who had no thread. As threadless kites can go anywhere the same as without any control or direction humans can easily mislead and go out of the track. A good leader should have outstanding leadership qualities to guide and instruct the man to choose the right path and continuously walk on that path.  Parents, teachers, friends, relatives, siblings, bosses, and colleagues can play the role of leader in a person’s life, where they all help each other to grow and nourish as well. When a baby is born, his/her parents were their first leaders who led the child to flourish and be the best version of himself. Parents and teachers have the best leadership qualities that create a world that is full of opportunities. 

Later, when we move to the professional world the core of leadership remains the same but its range expands. Here, the leader and the audience must work together to get their desired outcomes. In this world of professionalism, leadership is the most important factor that creates an atmosphere of quality work and discipline.
