We talk about effective [quality] leadership: How to be an effective leader. Who is or isn’t an effective leader. What is needed to become a great leader. Successes and failures of effective leaders. Impacts of effective leadership.

However, what is effective [ quality ]leadership?

People have their own thoughts about what effective [ quality ] leadership is.

Here are a few factors that are likely considered when defining effective [quality] leadership:

1. Leadership qualities
2. Responsibilities of leaders
3. Expectations of leaders
4. How leaders respond ( to their personal issues, to the needs of the people, to conflict, to business needs )
5. Impacts leaders make on the people they are responsible for leading and on their organization
6. Guidance needed from leaders
7. Ownership and accountability of leaders
