Mission-driven Leadership : For Your Own Good
-- Pablo Cardona and Carlos Rey
The exercise of mission-driven leadership, whether by followers on their way to becoming leaders or by already established leaders, is basically an exercise in self-realization, the result of many victories and also of many defeats accepted sportingly and as a learning opportunity. Ultimately, MDL is never complete. To exercise mission-driven management effectively, managers must constantly reinforce the learning process and never drop their guard, fostering leadership in their subordinates so that it may pervade the rest of the organization.

Manager, Leader, Entrepreneur : Three Key Contributions for the CEO

This article advises CEOs and those aspiring to this position to encourage everyone to make multiple contributions—as a manager, as a leader, and as an entrepreneur.

But everyone should have the opportunity to make the other contributions over time to help the organization and discover what they are really good at and like best.

How to become a new manager : Continuous Improvement
-- Guido Stein
Being a manager means setting an example and creating a business. Certainly, what leaders do is always a message; that is why they should never be chosen for what they think, but for what they are. Their example consists of always striving to improve, while remaining one among equals, willing to share risks and difficulties. This is precisely how others learn the best competencies.
