Achieving Leadership
Excellence
“Executive leadership is a key source petitive
advantage… it should rank in pany’s top five
strategic priorities”
(. McCall, 1992)
“Leadership development and ession planning
will be the priority issues of the next decade”
(Jay Conger, 1999)
“This much is certain: The old-economy model of leadership
is obsolete. These days, the creation of a work
of grassroots leaders may be the most important - as well as
the most difficult - aspect of developing the art of
leadership”
(pany, 1999)

Achieving Leadership
Excellence
“Transformational, or socialised, leadership is
directed toward the service of collective interests,
where leaders acknowledge the need to understand
and show respect for their followers, attempting to
motivate them through reason and emotional
appeal.”
(Bruce Avolio & Bernard Bass, 2002)
Each and every leader, can e much more
effective by focusing on a small number of core
aspects of leadership and by developing a new
mind-set about the leader’s responsibility to herself
or himself and to those with whom she or he works.
(Michael Fullan, 2001)
