Leader Do you know what it takes to be an admired leader? There is a Chinese proverb that says “If you think you are leading and you look behind you and no one is following, then you’re just taking a walk.” You don’t want to be a leader with no followers. How do you become a leader people are willing to follow repeatedly? One way is to apply the advice of authors Posner and Kouzes. Their book, The Leadership Challenge, contains 30-years of research on leadership characteristics. They have found that the same characteristics and qualities of effective leaders have held true for 30 years. Read the complete article. Chapter Sustained SponsorsInterested in becoming a sponsor?
