Zusammenfassung:	"It is possible to discern at least three components of effective leadership that endure across time and human history: strategy, character, and influence. Another way to comprehend these essentials involves framing them as the core components of the what and the how of leader performance. Strategy, broadly defined as setting the direction for an organization or organizational unit, can be understood as the answer to the question, What is the most important thing that leaders do? Character, described in this book as the consistent exercise of virtuous behavior in the face of constant turmoil, permanent change, frequent provocation, and demanding conditions, is the second enduring element of effective leadership that I have found. Influence, the ability to create meaningful relationships with others through which the work of an enterprise is accomplished, is the third component that transcends human history and time. Together, character and influence answer the question, how can leaders best accomplish the strategy that they have established for their organizations?"--Preface.
