The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to
do. The hard part is doing it.
• Norman Schwartzkopf, former United States Army general
Studying Leadership Behavior
Many people in positions of authority either cannot build and
motivate teams or do not realize the negative impact of their

Summary
• There does not appear to be a universal set of leadership
behaviors that guarantees success across many or all

results through others
• Organizational levels and competency models can help
leaders determine the specific types of behaviors required to
build teams and get results through others for the position in
question
