Leadership is the most important thing when you are in a
workplace, and are handling a team. People who reach this position
should be well aware of the qualities of an effective leader. For those
who are not aware, there are a number of books that can help you know
about what it takes to be a just and true leader.
1) 'What Ever Happened to Accountability' by Thomas E. Ricks
The
message in this book is simple and straight. The subtitle says "when
leaders don't fire the under performing employees; they send a bad
message across the whole organization." Marshal, who was the chief of
the US Army, was intolerant towards excuses and bad performance. This
helped him become a great leader. When companies allow poor employees to
work, success factor becomes low. You must read this book to know how
to lead.
