Take Me to Your Leader
"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.
