The success of any organization is dependent on the success of individuals and their technical, philosophical, and ethical fit with the organization and its goals. Leaders must be capable of demonstrating advanced levels of integrity, critical thinking/reasoning, and judgment and must not constrain themselves with often useless, misapplied and institutionalized generally accepted practices. If the leaders are indeed built and refined enough to take on that responsibility, they must still continuously improve/reengineer themselves and their organization. They must address issues effectively, assertively and quicklyàthemselves, without improper delegation. This book explores the leadership characteristics that are essential to the success of all organizations and individuals (including in their personal lives).
