The one aspect which comes to mind for me is inspirational in nature. The leader must inspire those being led. That inspiration comes from instilling trust in the leader's competence and in the leader's commitment. Inspiration includes modeling: this is how we act, and by behaving in this way as an organization, we will succeed as an organization. The leader sets the tone, those being led take their que from the leader. <br /><br />I am sure there are other important aspects of leadership which the list overlooked, but I think "inspiration" is the most important.<br /><br />JohnJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245470576919732592noreply@blogger.com
