20/20 MDS® Participant Workbook: Effective Leadership-Advanced This advanced course takes the topics and competencies of the first level course to a deeper level.
“Leadership is a word on everyone’s lips. The young attack it and the old grow wistful for it. Parents have lost it and police seek it. Experts claim it and artists spurn it, while scholars want it. If bureaucrats pretend they have it, politicians wish they did. Everybody agrees that there is less of it than there used to be.”
So begins Warren Bennis in his book – ‘Leaders – the strategies for taking charge’. Bennis is one of many ‘gurus’ on the subject of leadership but widely considered to be one of the best. What Bennis captures in the above quotation is that not only is interest in leadership in every quarter of human endeavour, but more importantly, the relative presence of leadership excellence is, perhaps, the main driver of human progress.
This makes the whole subject of leadership an extremely important one for every individual (whether leading or led by others).
