Carry on caring

摘要

Popular theory has it that leaders are born, not made. While few would doubt that there is some substance to that claim, logic tells us that the ready packaged leader is the exception rather than the rule. For the majority of us, therefore, it is the way we develop our leaders that can enable them to stand out from the crowd. Many are waking up to the fact that leadership is inextricably linked with organizational effectiveness. Develop the right leaders and the dream of long-term sustainability becomes ever more attainable. The opposite is, of course, also true. Like most other things, leadership is subject to change. Trends come and go and today's leadership style can quickly become tomorrow's relic. Only those models with one eye on the future are able to stand the test of time.
