Good point about leadership ability. Some people seem to have the gifts of charisma and influence necessary to move organisations forward. Still, I hold that the best leaders are people who have not only those traits but a strong vision and, as an essential component of success, a passion for the success of that vision. An unmotivated leader can quickly become a Pied Piper leading an otherwise healthy organisation to the river. Have a great week! Thanks, Dave. Good point about leadership ability.

I agree with the research and your words. I have found in my setting I need someone who also has a gift of leadership if they are going to be in a leadership role. Passion can only take you so far, then leadership ability needs to kick in. I enjoy reading your posts and have learned a lot! Blessings, Dave Great post Roger.
