Questions such as: “Are leaders born, or do they develop leadership abilities throughout their lives?” have been debated on college campuses and in boardrooms worldwide.

Here are several leadership concepts that have become generally accepted:

 

• Leaders are always focused on their organization’s missions and goals.

• Leadership is about responsibility and accountability-not about rank, title, or money.

• Leaders are strong delegators who understand they must share command to gain control.

• Leaders understand that diversity strengthens teams.
