The Leadership Alignment Model
Leadership is about doing, and is apparent only through the realm of
Action. Fine words, statements of importance and corporate
communication strategies count for little compared to the visible
behaviour of the most influential people in the organisation, those who
already occupy the role of leaders. Those who are interested can study
leadership, and it can be trained in those who wish to improve their
own performance. We can select those with experience and spot those
with potential. Yet the test of leadership is more than a tick in the
box for leadership competence. Leaders need to do more than occupy high
office and wield their power. Effective leadership is an activity, and
one which requires an alignment of action with attitudes and purpose if
the desired results are to be obtained.
