Leaders and Leadership
No organization can rise above the quality of its leadership. Leadership is a position that must be earned day in and day out. Effective leaders are first and foremost effective people.
Personal Traits of Leaders are important (personality, qualities, character, behavior, individuality)
Personal ethics (principles, morals, beliefs, values) can't be separated from professional ethics. Therefore, the character of the leader is essential
