Discussion about the question of 'What makes a good leader?' has continued for decades, if not longer. Some people assert that a good leader is someone who focuses on leading within a business to reach the business-specific goals. Others look at a leader as someone who focuses on achieving vision, and believes in a highly moral and socially conscious way. Some writers believe that there are universal principles and styles of leadership that should be consistent, no matter the situation faced by the leader. Leadership is neither an abstract, nor platonic concept, it is a practical activity, with a specific goal in mind. Strategic leadership is sustainable competitive advantage, or the enduring success of the organization. The job of a leader is to encourage people to get things done. He should cultivate clarity, discipline, morality and honesty in an organisation. To understand the concept of strategic leadership and leader's competencies, this is the guidebook to read.
