The ability to lead others effectively is a rare quality. It is found even rarer at the highest levels in an organization because the complexity of such positions requires a vast range of leadership skills. This is one reason that firms in search of a new leadership seek out a select group of brand name executives. Companies now emphasize leadership training and development to create a new supply of leaders throughout the firm. (Infosys Centre for Leadership Development)

LEADERSHIP By Prof. S.K Tannan
Meaning and Importance of Leadership The word Leader has come to define business executives in a general way. But when we sought to understand the different types of leadership, it became clear that the same word could be applied to one of three essential executives archetypes: (i) Entrepreneurs: They are often ahead of their time, not necessarily bound by the context in which they live. They frequently overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and challenges to persevere in finding or launching something new.
Meaning and Importance of Leadership (ii) Managers: They are skilled at reading and exploiting the context of their times. Through a deep understanding of the landscape in which they operate, they shape and grow businesses. (iii) Leaders: They confront change and identify latent potential in businesses that others consider stagnant, mature, declining, or moribund. Where some see failure and demise this breed of executive see kernels of possibility and hope.
Meaning and Importance of Leadership Leadership is not found only among people in high level positions. It is required at all levels in an organizations and can be practiced by a person not assigned to a formal leadership position. The Roadways Express Inc. U.S.A, after implementing a program of employee involvement in productivity improvement, Roadway management concluded that if the Roadway is to compete in an industry in which net profit margins are less than 5% in a good year, everyone of its 28000 employees must be a leader.
