Leadership is not an easy task, and it requires a unique set of skills to succeed. One of the most critical skills of leadership is being unflappable. It's essential to be able to handle criticism and stay focused on the task at hand. In this article, we will explore why being unflappable is crucial for leadership and how to develop this skill.
