A recent paper in The Leadership Quarterly provides a straightforward and practical generic framework of leadership skills. We summarise the framework in this month's newsletter and believe it will be helpful as a checklist of all the main elements of leadership as well as providing a common language for benchmarking.
Succession planning and leadership development are crucial to business success in a competitive marketplace. To ensure effective senior management, companies must create, nurture and maintain their "pipeline" of high potential leaders from within the organisation. This month's newsletter outlines how this can be achieved and maintained in the long-term.
In today's economy the success of a business largely depends on the quality of service it delivers to its customers. It is therefore crucial that organisations understand what factors can impact on the delivery of excellent customer service. Recent research investigates the impact that effective leadership and the development of a 'service climate' can have on the quality of service delivered in a range of organisations.

5. Everyone needs to show leadership behaviours
Human resource practitioners should seek to maximise the number of people in a team who exhibit leadership behaviour. This means that recruitment processes should assess candidates on their leadership skills, management development programmes should be tailored to training individuals in leadership behaviour.
