Leadership is ever present, touching, motivating, talking, and checking, barrier removing, training, preparing, breathing, and moving about. This was Captain E. J. Smith s retirement trip. He was headed for the easy life. All he had to do was get to New York. God only knows why he ignored the facts, why he ignored seven iceberg warnings from his crew and other ships.
Leadership is responsible for everything the organization does or fails to do.
The larger an organization becomes, the greater its inflexibility. The more difficult and cumbersome to steer, to direct and to change. Today s businesses must change course quickly. Ranking people limits potential. Today, businesses rank and classify people-sometimes unintentionally.
