Leadership is Character & Excellence

Ganesh R Shermon- partner and country head of P&T, People and change practice, KPMG says:

"Accountability -- that is what leadership is all about. Leadership is rarely about popularity,  it takes courage and charater to use leadership. Leadership is a complex process by which a person influences others to accomplish a task or an objective and directs the organisation in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. A person carries out this process by applying his /her leadership attributes (beliefs, values, ethics, character, knowledge and skills.) Leadership makes people want to achieve high goals and objectives. Leaders do not command exxellence they build excellence. Excellence start with leaders of character who engage in the entire process of leadership. and the first process is being a person of honourable character."
