BUSINESS LEADERSHIP
BIBLE
INTRODUCTION
Napoleon once said: “One bad general does better than two good
ones.” It takes a moment for the sense of this to register, but it is
the same as our modern saying that “too many cooks spoil the
broth”. Having one set of instructions, even if they are flawed, is
preferable to having two sets of perfect directions that, when
enacted together without reference to each other, cause havoc.
This is the principle of leadership in a nutshell. It is all about
maintaining focus and creating positive outcomes.
The same can be applied to individuals who strive to become
leaders. There needs to be focus and determination. Advice can be
given, but does not have to be heeded. History is full of leaders
whose beginnings were disastrous, and had they listened to the
naysayers of this world, the world would be a poorer place today.
Leadership can be learned. Some people are certainly born with
leadership skills, but this is not a prerequisite for becoming a leader.
More important is dedication to the art of leadership. Leadership
involves understanding how to inspire, influence and control how
people behave. It is not a simple matter of shouting, or having a deep
and booming voice; or being great in physical stature; Gandhi
