A moral and ethical character structure must become the soul purpose and operating motive in every situation before a perfect moralistic and ethical leader can become such. Although, just being a character-based leader does not dictate superior performance. Value-based leadership focuses on adding value to the entire process. In some instances, this type may overlook the aspect of being the nice guy on the block and rather think about adding value to the leadership process. Researchers say the a good percentage of Corporate America rates their leaders on their vision for the organization, and their final performance on that vision.
Leadership definitely involves creating a vision and sticking to it because of ones character.
A vision is something that comes from within the individual and can either have a positive or a negative outcome based a lot on the individuals character. Leadership is not positional and does not require formal authority or personal charisma. Every person in the world who wishes to, has the capacity to effectively lead with integrity and through discipline and practiced persistence can make it a reality. The main idea to remember is that not only can anyone lead if they have the desire, but that to be a leader, one can use any of the above styles or a completely different style, and they must know their people. If they know their people they can avoid guessing just what style of leadership to try and use.
