  • The Secret of Leadership according to General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

    “People need to understand what leadership is all about. Leadership is not managing an organization. Organizations are made up of people. Leadership is motivating people. Leadership is about people. There’s no question about the fact that you have to have competence to be a leader, but you also have to have character. Good leaders are men and women of competence and character. Many times character is more important. I tell people that the secret to modern leadership is two rules: When placed in command, take charge. The leader is a person who is willing to take the responsibility. Once you take charge, you do what’s right. The true modern leader today is the one that’s number one, willing to take charge, and willing to do what’s right. That’s the secret of leadership.”

    Organization succession plans are critical. Succession planning enables your business to identify talented employees and provide education to develop them for future higher level and broader responsibilities. According to Dr. Robert M. Fulmer of Pepperdine University’s Graziado School of Business and Management, “the real key in succession management is to create a match between the organization’s future needs and the aspirations of individuals. The only way to keep talented people is to provide them with growth opportunities that keep them stretching and finding more promising opportunities they might find elsewhere.”
