Business leadership is required to gain commitment rather than just compliance to working tasks. It is also required to ensure endurance, a persistence that mere authority can’t generate.
In some respects, the role of a business leader is to attain those things that management alone is unlikely to attain. A position of authority may give a manager a ‘jump start’ in achieving business missions, but commitment may fade without leadership.
I strongly believe that leadership in any business should focus as much on the characteristics of followers as it does on attributes of the leader.
Business leaders must accept responsibility for others, model values by example, develop the team through praise and shape a team culture. By taking care of the team and empowering each member, business results will follow accordingly.
