If a proper understanding of the task is not given, it can also turn out to be costly and time-consuming as well. Therefore, clarity towards the goals that need to be achieved should be clearly understood by the team and this is a responsibility of the leader. 

Problem Solving

Amongst all the leadership activities the problem-solving skill is the most integral one. Majorly everything relies on that. Problem-solving gives a chance to the team for better collaboration, brainstorming, and more involvement and enhances their team collaboration and team working skills more.
