Scanning the Internet, one finds thousands of articles, blogs, books, and webinars on how to be a leader or, more importantly, how to be a better leader. While each person may define leadership differently, he or she will likely hold a number of concepts in common. Much of what is written is based on practical and logical tactics, yet for many, these fall short of implementation, and thus become a source of failure. Great leaders, however, apply these tactics in conjunction with other innate skills to provide appropriate guidance for themselves and those around them. 24 critical values | October 2016 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/criticalvalues/article-abstract/9/4/24/2196811 by guest on 26 May 2020
