Organizations are measured by their success. When an organization struggles to meet its goals or attain the desired level of success, very often we see a change in leadership. Depending upon the size of the organization, that change might involve one individual or a group of individuals. Leadership, however, is broadly defined as existing at every level of the organization.
Consider the following quote by Admiral Arleigh A. Burke. "Leadership is understanding people and involving them to help you do a job. That takes all of the good characteristics, like integrity, dedication of purpose, selflessness, knowledge, skill, implacability, as well as determination not to accept failure."
So, what skills or qualities do you believe an effective leader has and what is it that he or she does to support success in an organization? How does an effective leader lead? Can you provide an example from your own experience?
