Great Leaders are not born, they get fed up with poor leadership and make a personal commitment to do better when they are put in a leadership position.
Organizations reward positive results, which, are mostly focused on short term gain. Effective Leaders focus on long and short term gains, striking a balance between, personnel, customers and profits. It's the smart play.
My top Leadership references: "The Absolutes of Leadership", by Phil Crosby; "The Starfish and the Spider", by Rod Beckstrom; and "Leadership in the Shadows", by Kyle Lamb. An esoteric mix I know, take a look and always remember...
A great manager, is seldom a Great Leader. In business you must, "...Lead, Follow, or get our of the way!...", so says my Lakotah Great Grand Father.
