Lawyer says synergy key to effective leadership

A lawyer and public speaker, Toye Sobande, has said that the key to effective leadership is building a harmonious relationship between leaders and followers.

He said that while more attention is given to the leader, it takes more than one person to achieve group goals in leadership.

Sobande said this on Tuesday in Lagos during the launch of his book titled, ‘Leadership and organisational politics: How to win office politics and thrive in a competitive environment’.

He said, “The followers and the leaders are vital to understanding leadership development as a process.”
