Effective Leaders – Do They All Share A Generic Set of Qualities

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

This weekend I found myself re-reading Morgan W. McCall Jr.’s book High Flyers: Developing the Next Generation of Leaders. 

In the preface he states that “…there is apparantly a widespread and fundamental need to believe that a single (and usually short) list of generic qualities can be used to describe all effective leaders and that these qualities are relatively stable over the course of a person’s career. “  McCall states that this is inconsistent with what he has learned about how executives develop. 

What do you think?  Is there a generic list?  If so what are some of the qualities you think are on that list?
