Williamson article discusses the evolving aspects of leaders in the 21st century. In the professional world, things and ideas are rapidly changing and improving. Williamson provided six themes of leadership. The first one I found interesting which was “Leadership is no longer the exclusive domain of the ‘boss at the top’. This idea that anybody can lead from within a group is a core feature of a democracy.
I think the most important aspect that Williamson covers is that a leader must bring out the best in everyone. As a leader if if your followers do not feel a sense of self worth then nothing else really matters. In theory you can be an effective but demeaning leader. However, the most effective leaders that Williamson discusses exerts some form of effort to ensure that their followers feel valued.
