In today's competitive business climate leaders are no longer able to depend on authority alone. Power only creates a "Boss." It is the followers' willingness to achieve the goals set out by an individual that makes a leader. This begins with a leader who can communicate a specific vision to his followers. It continues when the leader cares about the organization's goals and people. The higher the goals, the more trust, honor and respect the leader must possess. People want to be guided by someone who has a clear direction yet still retains concern for their needs.
