- in his piece, Stewart talks about four lessons he's learned from reading the leadership literature that render the whole concept of leadership literature problematic:
Great leadership isn't teachable. (Does that mean that the great number of books and seminars about leadership may be more about boosting the ego and filling the wallet of the leadership guru than about enabling people to become great leaders?#
Great leadership is a property of groups, not individuals. #In other words, great followers make great leaders. With too much emphasis on the individual at the top you lose sight of the importance of the people around the leader helping him or her to make the right decisions.#
Great leadership is circumstantial. #You have to be in the right place at the right time, or else you may never become a great leader.#
Great leadership can get ugly. #My immediate reaction to this is, if it's ugly, it's not great leadership. It's bad leadership. In some cases, it isn't leadership at all.)
