According to Warren Bennis, “most organizations today are over-managed but under-led.”  Leading people is not about simply dictating and commanding, it means living, influencing and exciting subordinates to brave new frontiers of uncertainty and change. Needless to say, extraordinary leadership is now required if we want to succeed in today’s challenging business environment.
