Leadership: The Blueprint
by Professor Frederick Hilmer AO
While leadership is only one element of management, it is a critical one, because it is leadership that is often seen as lacking when things go awry, performance is suboptimal, earnings disappoint analysts, or when rumours and gossip leech into the stories in the business pages. Whenever a company starts running into trouble, its problems are generally sheeted home to a 'lack of leadership'. This is not just an instinct with respect to business. Deficiencies in leadership, or its wholesale absence, are a key factor in politics, education, public service, church and sport.
So what does it take to be an effective leader, particularly of a large complex enterprise? In Frederick Hilmer's eBook, five essential characteristics are identified. However further exploration reveals the perception of leaders today and what can be done to reverse the situation.
