Every organization needs leaders at every level. It's no secret that the business environment for most companies is changing faster than ever before, which requires people and the organizations they work for to change right along with it. Great leaders see the changes coming on the horizon, and they constantly push their organizations to be in the right place when those changes happen. An efficient leader is defined as a person who is followed by the others. He doesn't follow the pack. The characteristics of a leader are not behaviors that will be new to those that strive to master them.
