What are the top 5 essential leadership skills? When you’re an emerging leader, it’s critical that you equip yourself with leadership skills that will make you stand out in the workplace and help you fuel your growth in your leadership journey.

But there are so many types of skills that you can equip yourself with when you’re a leader. There is communication, problem solving, critical thinking, delegation, relationship building, and negotiation to name a few. Where do you start?
