Leadership

A while back I was sent a very interesting snippet by a good friend, on leadership. The simplicity of the four quadrants and its relevance to my own priorities in life was just awesome to comprehend.

This particular thought has references to the 'Core Values' at Sapient my current employer, where Leadership is one of the key values.

Interesting interpretations/questions thrown out here.
Do you want to be a good leader or a good coach or just good at delivering results? Do you even want to be a leader?

It's interesting to consider this theory in relation to Sapient's core values and incentive structure. If we ask the question "Are all successful people at Sapient good leaders?" then the answer is NO. So then is it just another ideal that we always strive towards and do the best we can? (while being great at other areas of the spectrum)

If so then not being strong in true leadership skills is actually just another SWOT analysis point, that each individual needs to figure out how to "make up for" to be successful.
