Leadership

Judged by the almost endless stream of books, journals and congresses on management I have monitored the last 40 years, no satisfactory answer has been found to the questions:

• “Can I lead people?” - put by individuals, and
• “Will that person be able to lead people?” - put by organisations.

The answers to these questions are:

• leading a person is “to make sure that that person adopts a particular objective”,
• one can’t “find out whether a person has adopted a particular objective” when one does not know the answer to the question “What is an objective?”,
• an answer to the question “What is an objective?” requires an answer to the question “What is the description of the Phenomenon Objective?”

It has been demonstrated that when a person UNDERSTANDS the answer to the question “What is the description of the Phenomenon Objective?” that person is likely to become a successful leader (when he has some talent for it).
