Essentials of Leadership : A Systematic Approach to Effective Leadership

The 21st century has come with tremendous opportunities and challenges. The challenges include rapidly changing business environments, global unrest between nations, famine and disease and often civil war within countries.

Despite these challenges there are also great opportunities. These include the possibility of scientific and technology breakthroughs, the development of completely new businesses, or even the establishment of peace and security for whole nations of people. Strong effective leadership is needed more than ever.

Are people “born leaders” or do they become leaders? The Essentials of Leadership looks at leadership as a dynamic system. When people and organizations understand and apply this system they can identify and develop the necessary skills for effective leadership. This book provides a tool for organizations and leaders to perform self-assessment, as well as identify and develop future leaders. The premise of the Essentials of Leadership is that leadership selection and development is so fundamentally vital to the current and future success of organizations that it must be thoughtfully and systematically approached. To fail to do this could put your organization at great risk.
