Dr. Ken Sylvester has put it very nicely and crisply. Even though I think I knew the chracterstics well enough, as most of them are common sense, but still reading the post was enlightening in number of ways. It gives a good framework to think about it. All in all its a great post and good food for thought, I am sure I should be able to hone my leadership skills to some extend. Once again thanks a lot JD for getting Dr. Ken Sylvester to post here.

Really great article, thanks. When I sign up with StumbleUpon I'm going to link this up.

To me, it's the "leader" with a big ego who can lead a project or organization into chaos and assumes that failure of a part of the goal is a reflection on him/her rather than part of the learning process. Depersonalization and emotional maturity are essential to a good, effective leader. Thanks for the post - it's very useful. This is a great overview.

Hi Ken At the moment I am struggling with a team leader who is simply not leading. This gives me a framework to try to determine where he is struggling - thank you Do you think these leadership characteristics apply in one's personal and not worklife? Do you think there would be some differences? Juliet Hi JD

Thank you for introducing Dr Sylvester – very useful post.

Hi Ken

At the moment I am struggling with a team leader who is simply not leading. This gives me a framework to try to determine where he is struggling – thank you

Do you think these leadership characteristics apply in one’s personal and not worklife? Do you think there would be some differences?

It was absolutely transforming. It helped me develop my own leadership and negotiation skills, and to recognize good leadership when I saw it.
