When I was 10 years old, I had managed to convince boys mostly older than me in my colony to clear up an unused piece of land with heavy shrubs and being used as a garbage dump to develop this into a very good and clean cricket ground. It needed a lot of convincing between rival groups, managing egos, having everyone to buy into the idea of a dirty piece of land being developed into a beautiful playground without any help from the parents. That was something great for me personally. Two or three ways in which you think young managers can develop leadership skills? Recognise your strengths and build on them Reinforce your self-belief and hone your skills by taking up the toughest assignments Benchmark yourself with the best leaders; there are always great things to learn from Jack Welch, Steve Jobs, Mahatma Gandhi, etc. Read biographies of great leaders....
