Chapter Outline
Abraham Lincoln was a highly visible leader who had a significant influence on people across the United
States and around the world. Yet the leadership qualities Lincoln exemplified are especially relevant to the
many leaders who quietly go about the business of leading teams, companies, and communities‘ day after
day. Every company, sports team, government agency, family, nonprofit organization, social cause, and
community group needs good leadership to succeed.
I. Why We Need Effective Leadership (01.01, PPT Slides 4-9)
People think that they will recognize a good leader when they see one. Sometimes, though,
charismatic people are perceived to be leaders, regardless of whether leadership skills back up the
charisma. Today, people are beginning to expect more than a charismatic smile and a firm
handshake from leaders.

and outcomes that reflect their shared purposes. Exhibit 1.1 identifies the key components of
leadership.
Leadership includes six components:

Intention
Personal responsibility and integrity

Leading and following are activities that require other people. Effective leaders and followers
require similar skills so they can switch roles if needed to accomplish a goal.
