Leadership

Over time, the word "leadership" has become abused and yet still has an uplifting sparkle. From some practitioners' point of view, leadership is critical, not because it’s the only thing but because it’s under-taught and under-used. The ability to think long-term and bring that perspective back to the present in a constant search for more complete paradigms is a critical, competitive advantage for any organization. All too often, it is easy to become used to the way things are and fall into a rut of doing like we’ve always done it and forgetting the original reasons why. Leadership jars those of us in the status quo quagmire into new ways of thinking and doing. Preserving the core and after that innovating everything else is sage advice for the organization desiring to stick around.
