Holding a leadership position alone may not affect your career positively, but using leadership skills and resources wisely may develop that effect. For example, when leaders face difficult situations and challenges that call for them to wisely use their skills and resources such as public criticism, crises, disasters, opposition or hostility from powerful parties, or legal suits. It is an opportunity for the leader to show his own personal branding which will positively affect his career, that is by being proactive, creative, objective, collaborative, sharing the burden, maintaining effectiveness, avoiding burnout, keeping things under control, continuing communication, and setting an example.
