Abstract
How many paths are there to leadership success? Are there any common ingredients that lead to success? And if so, what messages are there for developing future managers and leaders? This chapter provides answers to these important questions.
Leadership is autobiographical: if I don’t know your life story, I don’t know a thing about you as a leader.
—Noel Tichy
Leaders aren’t born—at least not full blown. Neither are they made like instant coffee. Instead they are slow brewed.
—Joseph and Jimmie Boyett
