Leadership is important everywhere, but nowhere more than in the human centered organization. After all, leadership is about leading people.
The CEO or senior-most leader has a critical role to play in any organization because this role is the fulcrum the point at which pressures and responsibilities converge – especially between the organization and its environment. Ultimately, though, what matters in the CEO role are the things that make every leader successful: vision, setting goals, supporting them with metrics, making the right decisions in the right way, and inspiring people by making them feel they are part of a winning organization. Leaders of every kind must be people leaders first and foremost, since people are what organizations are made of.
Leadership is a big job, and a difficult one; no one does it perfectly, and there is always a need to improve because the bar never stops rising.
