Shadowing
for Leadership Development
-- Daniel
D Elash and James R Long
The
challenge of building leadership capability within an organization
is as critical as it is daunting. Business literature is rife
with examples of companies whose managers knew what they needed
to do but could not operationalize their purpose. Although
investing in leadership development does not guarantee individual
or corporate success, companies like GE, PepsiCo, and Dell
succeed in developing leaders and generating results.

what
Makes Good Communication? --G
R K Murty
A
few weeks ago, cricket headlines for the World Cup 2003 in
most newspapers screamed, `South Africa was unable to make
it to the super six stage due to lack of effective communication
between dressing room and players in the middle'. Very true,
as one's technical skill does not always ensure the much needed
success. It is communication skills that completes the circle
of a well-rounded personality-be it in sports, personal or
professional life. In today's complex and competitive world,
effective communication is an essential prerequisite for every
manager.
