The Leadership Sum
Abstract
Leadership has been the subject of countless books and articles over the years by people who have studied the topic, and by leaders who by virtue of their success have attempted to reveal what they believe are the key ingredients to becoming a successful leader. To some degree, they all may be correct, because there may not be a simple formula for success in leadership. However, one thing is certain, every organization, no matter how large or small, including nations, armies, corporations, and families, need some form of leadership. With leadership, there is direction and purpose, which stimulates motivation and movement; without leadership, the course is unknown and there can be no vision of the future, which leads to stagnation. The purpose of this paper is to take yet another look at leadership. It presents a new perspective on leadership which emerged from the author's research. His concept, which he calls "The Leadership Sum," is intended to enable potential leaders to develop those attributes essential for good leadership and to make the most of their opportunity to lead.
