Strong leaders are not born—they are made. Businesses should provide employees with the resources and support they need to succeed. This includes offering leadership development programs that instill the skills and knowledge employees need to be effective leaders. This training should touch on areas such as decision-making, communication and strategic thinking. Support can also be provided through mentoring and coaching programs, as well as access to the right tools.

Investing in employees' development can help produce leaders who will elevate businesses to greater levels of success. Thus helping support and fortify the economy.

In every sector of every industry - the most essential ingredient for success is strong leadership. Not the product, not the promotion, or the market advantage.

Innovation is an active part of business success, which contributes to a strengthened economy. But it all begins with Leading by example.
