Leaders reinforce core competencies and company values and reassure the success of an organization. Effective leaders inspire people based on the power of a challenging future. They are present, visible, and authentic. They should ensure accessibility and availability. These are tough times, when information – correct or incorrect, can become overwhelming.

They create conditions for their employees to receive recognition and respect across the organization.
