    Leaders Matter
    “In whatever direction a ship moves the flow of waves
    it cuts will always be noticeable ahead of it…When
    the ship moves in one direction there is one and the
    same wave ahead of it, when it turns frequently the
    wave ahead of it also turns frequently. But wherever it
    may turn there always will be the wave anticipating its
    movement. Whatever happens it appears that just
    that event was foreseen and decreed. Wherever the
    ship may go, the rush of water which neither directs
    nor increases it movement foams ahead of it, and at a
    distance seems not merely to move of itself but to
    govern the ships movement also” (Tolstoy, 1991).

    and data, and rolled out the results to employees. Later, these
    results became the source of various training programs for
    managers.

    eight qualities, in order of importance:
    Be a good Coach.
    Empower your team and don’t micromanage.
    Express interest in team members.
    Don’t be a coward. Be productive and result oriented.
    Be a good Communicator and listen to your team.
    Help your employees with career development.
