Leadership is not a commonplace skill that can be taught to anyone, and good leaders cannot be defined by science.
In “Leadership DNA, Book Two: Recognizing Good and Poor Leadership in the Real World,” Paul Okum shares techniques to identify, select and help natural-born leaders enhance their skills through 40 short essays dealing with a wide range of real-world topics and issues.
“It’s becoming clear that people in leadership positions must move toward viewing leadership as an art and not as a science as held by the leadership gurus,” Okum said. “Good leaders must come to recognize and respect their personal instincts and sixth senses when dealing with leadership issues.”
Okum also says effective political leaders understand that America needs leaders who will champion real debate on issues and ensure that the best interests of the nation come first.
“Good leaders bring a sense of hope that things will be better; that by pulling together, our government will function more effectively, and the opinions of each citizen and worker matter,” Okum said. “If we can get natural-born leaders into these leadership positions, then America and Americans benefit as individuals, citizens, employees and a nation.”
