Leadership means Effectiveness


Drucker once said, "Efficiency is doing things right. Effectiveness is doing the right things."

In slightly different terms, management is about doing things right. And, leadership is about doing the right things.

Leadership is about achieving results. It is about establishing the mission, setting a direction, and charting the course.

Leaders then take effective action, and stay the course, through to completion.

Drucker once said, the only true definition of a leader is someone who has followers. And, you cannot expect people to follow you if you do not perform. If you do not achieve results.

Leadership is largely about effective living. Which ain't easy. But it is necessary.
