The Leader of the Future
In the book The Leader of the Future, a group of
well renowned leaders and executives expressed
what they considered to be the main ualities a
future leader ought to have! the one which was

It remains a fundamental role of any leader to
guide members towards a """"""""""""
""""""""""""and to help them achieve the
corresponding goals#
It is normal to expect that vision and direction
come from the top of the organi'ation# (ut that
vision has to percolate down the pyramid to
reach """"""""""""employees#

Business Leadership Models call for Adaptability
/ntil the 0123-s, the various leadership or
management models attempted to answer the
uestion *which is the best leadership style?+
Then in the late sixties, both researchers and
practitioners began to reali'e that there is no
such thing as a best leadership style applicable to
every situation and to all circumstances#

Ignatian Leadership Model calls for Adapability
In reading the 4onstitutions, Ignatius- guidelines
for 5esuits, one is impressed by the repetitive
insistence of Ignatius to add at the end of a
declaration the phrase *according to the sub7ects,
places, conditions and times#+ 4learly, Ignatius
agreed with today-s concept that leadership calls

8ffective leaders have the vision reuired to see
things differently from others# In order to be
creative, the future leader may have to become

change, not only incremental but especially
transformational change# This demands a new anddifferent way of dealing with issues and problems
which go against the traditional, stereotype ways#

*The 5esuit team doesn-t tell us much we don-t already know about what leaders do# 9or do they teach
us anything about what leaders achieve# (ut they have a lot to say about """""""""""" """"""""""""
