The theme of leadership is taken up by multiple authors, each of whom profiles the ideal leader. The basic idea is to recognize leadership in every person as a resource; in fact, everyone can be a leader of himself or herself and the architect of his or her own destiny. The true leader knows how to gather the consensus of others, has self-respect, and in this way can access excellent levels of leadership .
John P. Kotter and Joseph O’ Connor in their books have summarized the concepts of leadership by providing various thoughts on the subject. First and foremost, being a leader requires good character and good professional, technical and interpersonal skills. In “The War of Talents,” it is explained how important it is to nurture people with positive personality traits. These should be encouraged to grow both humanly and professionally. In the essay “Self-Education,” edited by Gian Piero Quaglino, an overview is provided of the tendency to view professional development as continuous growth, an enhancement of experience through targeted investments consistent with one’s philosophy of life. There are so many books that aim to create a leader, but of course if you want to change, it takes not only willpower, but also an ongoing commitment.
