Leaders make change - and stand for values that don't change. They help people identify what assumptions need to change, and which values are core to what the organization is. They have an obligation to behave in concert with the principles they espouse. Leaders don't blame, they learn . Everyone makes mistakes.
Leaders look for and network with other leaders.
The job of the leader is to make more leaders . The team with the most and best leaders wins. The old economy model seemed more appropriate for a time when organizations were hierarchical, industries stable and competition minimal . Organizations rely on the knowledge and flexibility of their employees, and structures. Therefore, leaders are needed in multiple places for instance in managing teams, projects and suppliers.
