Abstract: An organization''s managers are its direct link to employees—they have a strong influential role and impact on performance and morale. The business environment is changing at an ever-quickening pace requiring ongoing education. Managerial work has become increasingly fast-paced, less structured and more reliant on strong interpersonal and leadership skills than ever before. In addition, with a shrinking labor pool, organizations need to take steps to identify strong leaders and provide the appropriate development opportunities for them. Growing talent from within is becoming an increasingly prevalent staffing alternative “.Leadership is hard to define and good leadership even harder. But if you can get people to follow you to the ends of the earth, you are a great leader”- Indira Nooyi
