Take Me to Your Leader

by | April 16, 2004 | Articles, Cultural Considerations, Leadership

"Leadership" is as elusive a concept as there is in business—not
that that has prevented scores of writers spilling torrents of ink on
it.  (The general form of the tautology in this management literature
is:  It requires a great leader to build a great organization, but/and
the most important characteristic of a great organization is developing
great leaders.  Res ipsa.)

CIO Magazine has a perceptive column that actually has something
to say about what it takes to lead:  Start with character, teamwork,
passion, and persuasiveness.
