The Changing Landscape of Leadership

Over the past 20 years, corporate leaders have come to a thorough understanding and implementation of the dynamics of effective team activities. Drawing upon countless books, workshops, seminars and academic studies, they have made teams and their dynamics are an important part of organizational management practice. Unfortunately however, during my last several years of interaction with the corporate worid in India, I see very little evidence that an equivalent corporate effort has been devoted to the development and selection of leaders themselves. It may be noted here that I distinguish between leaders and aggressive managers.
