INTRODUCTION OF LEADERSHIP
Leadership can define as influencing others to follow the necessary
skills. Effective leadership is not constrained by managerial roles,
personality traits or organisational structure. Good leaders, on the other
hand, exemplify expert authority, credibility, trust and authenticity.
This is what effective leadership is all about and it is an exciting time
to be a part of it. (Mind Tools, 2020)

LEADER’S BACKGROUND
Nurin Afiqah Binti Zulkifli known as Nurin Afiqah is an influencer,
Zumba instructor, content creator and also an entrepreneur. She earned
a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the International
Islamic University of Malaysia (UIAM). (Nadz.my, 2022)
Her first venture was Ropis Rangup which is banana poppy in
September, 2019. She has transformed bananas into something that
everyone will enjoy, which is banana wrap with spring roll skin, which
no one has ever done before. (Aishah, 2021)
Additionally, she launched NADA Identity in February 2022 out of her
love and passion for modest fashion. NADA as a brand has
progressively grown in popularity in the modest fashion sector. This
momentum has served as the foundation for NADA’s goals of becoming
a respected modest fashion brand on a global scale.

LEADER’S TRAIT’S
Effective leaders in the workplace must possess certain leadership
traits. Leadership attributes are crucial in almost any occupation since
they are the most significant leadership abilities, which are soft skills
rather than technical expertise or industry-specific experience. (Indeed,
2022)
Nurin Afiqah, for example, can communicate with other guild
members. As Chief Executive Officer (CEO), she must communicate
with other employees such as supervisors and representatives who
report to her. She is a solid spearhead as well. She views herself as
accepts responsibility and accountability for any requests, errors or
problems that occur in the organisation. This inspires others and fosters
amazing teamwork. (CFI, n.d.)
Decisive reasoning skills are used to analyse problems in the
organisation, think critically and find the best solution. For example,
she conducts innovative work (Research & Development) to ensure that
innovation is ingrained in the organisation. Thus, it serves an important
role in management by maximising efficiency and achieving strategic
and organisation goals.

LEADER’S BEHAVIOUR
A pioneer developed a solid sense of ethics and sincerity. For examples,
Nurin Afiqah had experienced bullying while she was a high school
student. She had blemishes on her front teeth for nine years. Her life
did not change until she put on and removed her braces, as well as had
three major and two minor surgeries. Despite being subjected vile
name-calling and physical bullying, she refused to respond
immediately or violently to her tormentors. Instead, she believes that
self-empowerment is the most effective form of retaliation. (LerJun,
2020)
As a pioneer, has the ability to influence those around her. For example,
she gives positive energy to the people around her in whatever situation
she faces obligation with progress until the matter she can advance.
Thus, she will make an effort to ensure that employees have time each
week to pursue creative endeavours unrelated to their jobs. This
demonstrates that she prioritises harmony in her company by managing
relationships. (WGU, 2020)

LEADER’S POWER
Good leaders possess the kind of power that encourages teamwork,
self-improvement and the development of a positive workplace
environment. (McGuinty, 2019)
Coercive power is transmitted through the experience of losing one’s
job, being demoted, receiving a poor performance evaluation, losing a
prime undertaking and so on. In this situation, she used her talent to
exchange the worker for options because the worker was not doing
admirably enough to create a benefit for the organisation. In this way,
she selected a different representative who could fully commit to the
task and create a motivating factor for the group.
Nurin Afiqah is rose to the status of role models, they would spearhead
a significant social reform movement by enabling others to acquire
expertise. For instance, she has the skill because she had some talent
before NADA Identity rose to prominence. Nurin previously stated that
meeting other business people let her realise that regardless of where
you are from, you face similar issues.

CONCLUSION
It is hard to be a leader. Leaders nowadays must understand how
important managerial positions and abilities are in this cutthroat
environment. Having to research about Nurin Afiqah, she show us
examples to help us understand what makes a great leader and what it
takes to be one. To be a good leader, one must be respected, motivated
and close to the group. People ought to emulate her and use her
leadership style when necessary.
