This man devours information in every thing he does. His knowledge antennae are up, grasping every bit of information as he moves, and he does not sitstill easily. It is the very signature of the man and itis his foundation for leadership. There are four characteristics of effective leaders which I consider foundational. They are not traits which you are either born with or not.
Exemplary leaders are passionate, authentic, credible, and ethical.
Women Lead by Dr. Judy B. Rosner Women managers who have broken the glass ceiling in medium-sized, non traditional organizations have proven that effective leaders don t come from one mold. Now a second wave of women is making its way into top management, not by adopting the style and habits that have proved successful for men buy by drawing on the skills and attitudes they developed from their shared experience as women. These second-generation managerial women are drawing on what is unique to their socialization as women and crating a different path to the top. The director, manager or supervisor are leaders by delegation of power. For this to happen, he must learn to develop the invisible world of peoples minds and to open the human heart.
