True leaders are excellent role models.
True leaders are able to visualize the goals of the whole practice and the steps necessary to reach those goals. They understand the rewards of success and the consequences of failure. The leader's vision defines the goal and the leader's action defines the path to that goal. Further the leader must be able to articulate this vision and the goals with their subordinates. In sharing the vision, they must be able to excite their subordinates about working toward those goals and the associated rewards.
