The Keys to Effective Leadership

Abstract

WARREN BENNIS, THE LEGENDARY organization expert and pioneer of modern leadership principles, famously said, ``Leadership is the capacity to translate a vision into reality.'' Taking this statement a bit further, we can characterize leadership as the quality that inspires people to do their best every day. Without effective leadership, any organization will flounder and get lost in a thicket of conflicting agendas and priorities. Without inspired leaders, an organizations mission, vision, values, and direction become unclear and growth suffers.
