Luis Alvarez/Getty Images Practicing these skills daily is a great way to becoming a better leader. When a leader is intentional with their choices to cultivate an inclusive environment, everyone thrives. Some people are born strong leaders and spend much of their careers becoming more conscious of what they already do inherently. For others, leadership is something that has to be acquired, learned, and practiced. I think of it as public speaking: some people are naturals, and others become more and more natural over time. Especially when you are a startup founder, mastering the art of leadership is a crucial aspect of building a successful business.
