Leadership has been and continues to be a topic of profound interest in the management literature. The
need for leadership is perennial – especially in our modern, complex societies. In today's thinking
about effective, productive, and enduring organizations, we can reorganize, restructure, or
reengineerour organization to be more effective but it will not be successful for very long, unless
change is first built on thepreeminence of human resources. People and process will always be more
important than tasks and organizationalstructure in accomplishing goals and productivity. Effective
systems and processes are only effective if the people whomake them work are effective. Highly
motivated and well-trained human resources provide the only assurance that anyorganization will be
effective in accomplishing its goals.
