Like all relationships, leadership is a somewhat fragile condition. It must be carefully, constantly cultivated. Yet too many leaders hone prescriptive behaviors outside the context of their followers. They emulate celebrity CEOs or bosses they admire and try to be people they aren’t. As a result, they often fail. If they fail, your organization will, too.
Successful leaders modify their behavior to respond to the needs of their followers and the circumstances they encounter – while simultaneously remaining true to who they are. They demonstrate great leadership – the kind that excites people to extraordinary performance.
