"The Leadership Challenge"

This is a kind of textbook. I can't see there any passion or any so-called big enlightenment, but this type of book brings to us a benefit of organizing thoughts. Here is the list of elements of how leadership works.

The Five Practices and Ten Commitments of Leadership

1. Model the Way

    - Clarify values by finding your voice and affirming shared ideals.

    - Set the example by aligning actions with shared values.

2. Inspire a Shared Vision

    - Envision the future by imagining exciting and ennobling possibilities.

    - Enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared aspirations.

3. Challenge the Process

    - Search for opportunities by seizing the initiative and by looking outward for innovative ways to improve.

    - Experiment and take risks by constantly generating small wins and learning from experience.

4. Enable Others to Act

    - Foster collaboration by building trust and facilitating relationships.

    - Strengthen others by increasing self-determination and developing competence.

5. Encourage the Heart

    - Recognize contributions by showing appreciation for individual excellence.

    - Celebrate the values and victories by creating a spirit of community.

That's it.
