Hi All,
This is one of my favourite topics for all to enjoy reading..... From my last message, I mentioned that this topic is very interesting and there are may theories and issues on what makes a leader and more so a good leader.
I recommended the book as a first reading on 7 notable businesspeople on leadership their styles and behaviours "Kramer, JA 2003, What the best CEOs know, McGraw-Hill, New York.
Sam Walton, Herb Kelleher, Dell, and Gertsner provided some insights into leadership!
To start off the discussions, I want to quote you some issues on leadership. Hesselbein and Cohen (1999) stated that "Leadership is a matter of how to be, not how to do. Leaders succeed through the efforts of their people. Leaders build bridges."
Drucker (1999, p156) on the future of leaders and leadership ‘In tomorrow’s organisation, there will be no non-leaders."
Patrcik and Mak, your thoughts please!?!? Do you see Malaysian business leaders showin these characteristics??
