Leadership-Oriented Activities

While management focuses on coping with complexity, leadership is about creating positive change. Part of the reason leadership has become such a needed quality in the last 20 years is because of the rapid changes and innovation we discussed in the first chapter. The net result of these changes is that doing what was done yesterday—or even doing it 15% better—is no longer a prescription for success. Major changes are necessary to survive and compete effectively in today’s environment.

To help you focus on ways to ensure you have followers to lead, we have summarized aspects critical to your leadership development.
