Never before has leadership been so necessary for success - it is paramount in today's competitive environment. Today, front-line employees and lower-level managers are stepping forward and accepting the challenge of leadership. Companies that can develop and harness the leadership ability of every employee, regardless of their title, are the ones that will stay competitive. Leaders need to demonstrate flexibility and empathy, while remaining true to the core values of the organization. Set clear direction. Convert strategy into action at the organizational level. Turn strategy into behavior at the personal level. Respect, serve and develop people. Initiate, drive, and sustain change. Circumvent unpredictable impediments. For some, leadership skills are instinctive. For many, though, the hallmarks of successful leadership - the ability to motivate, influence, and envision - must be learned.
