Adaptive Leadership
For some reason, I've not touched on this topic about leadership.
What make a good leadership, excellent leader, or a bad leader?
Famous leaders on biblical proportion (literally!) the like of Moses and Joshua, all have had divine interventions along the ways in their undertakings. In modern day speaking, God was their "Consultant". They are guided, and as long they follow the guidance (in this, from God The Consultant), they succeeded in even the most impossible tasks, including crossing the Red Sea.
The point is this. Good leaders are guided by a set of principles. Excellent leaders internalized those principles, they walk-the-talk. Bad leaders, on the other hand, are lacking of one or many traits of leaderships characteristics or competencies.
Good news is, leadership can be trained. Organisations wanting to build sustainable business need to have excellent leaders.
