Foundations are the starting point of anything in the world and that includes leadership as well. In order to ensure that you have a grasp of what is expected of you, you better have a solid understanding of the foundations. Even if you are a seasoned leader, a reminder of leadership foundations will help ensure that you have not strayed away from leading to bossing.
