A
Culture of Leadership |
Leadership has sometimes been described as taking people to a place
that they would not normally go to on their own. Once a sound
strategic planning process has determined what that place should be
it is the leader's prime and fundamental responsibility to assure
that there is cultural alignment with the vision and that the full
resources of the organization are effectively brought to bear to
achieve that destination. |

Turning
Goals into Results: The Power of Catalytic Mechanisms (HBR OnPoint
Enhanced Edition)
by James C. Collins
Most executives have a big, hairy, audacious goal. They write vision
statements, formalize procedures, and develop complicated incentive
programs--all in pursuit of that goal. In other words, with the best of
intentions, they install layers of stultifying bureaucracy. But it doesn't
have to be that way. In this article, Jim Collins introduces the catalytic
mechanism, a simple yet powerful managerial tool that helps translate
lofty aspirations into concrete reality.

Level
5 Leadership: The Triumph of Humility and Fierce Resolve (HBR OnPoint
Enhanced Edition)
by Jim Collins
Boards of directors typically believe that transforming a company from
merely good to truly great requires a larger-than-life personality--an
egocentric chief to lead the corporate charge. Think "Chainsaw"
Al Dunlap or Lee Iacocca. In fact, that's not the case, says author and
leadership expert Jim Collins. The essential ingredient for taking a
company to greatness is having a "Level 5" leader at the
helm--an executive in whom extreme personal humility blends paradoxically
with intense professional will. Collins paints a compelling and
counterintuitive portrait of the skills and personality traits necessary
for effective leadership.
