Page vii Preface: Never Grab a Bull by the Tail You can become a leader and influence others in business, civic life, government, and in your personal affairs. Leadership is active; there is no such thing as a passive leader. Therefore, you must constantly challenge yourself, challenge systems, and challenge others to act. As you face these challenges, you must be able to lead, overcoming opposition to your leadership and the natural resistance that always meets any change. If you are going to win the contest for leadership and meet all the challenges this position poses, you must understand leadership philosophy: careful preparation and using a structured approach. This philosophy encompasses leadership principles, traits, and skills, all presented in this book.
