Not All Leaders Are the Same

The Greatness Guide
In The Greatness Guide, Robin Sharma clarifies the mantra that leadership is everybody’s business. While everyone is a leader, not everyone does the same thing. Obviously not everyone should be running the company. He explains:
Know your role. Everyone needs to behave like a leader—no matter what they do. Everyone needs to demonstrate leadership traits—regardless of their position. That means everyone needs to take responsibility for getting results that they generate. Everyone needs to do their part to shape culture. Everyone needs to be positive and inspirational. Everyone needs to keep customers happy and protect the brand. Everyone is a leader. But not everyone is the same.

Have you read Elliott Jaques' "Social Power & the CEO", or Jaques & Clements' "Executive Leadership"?

Are you familiar with their thoughts on what it means to lead, and how people have different capabiliities?
