be studied and
studied again. The ability to ace leadership principles and
practices does not, however, mean that leadership has been
learned. Because what is being taught does not necessarily
help leadership candidates learn the essentials. Knowing is
one thing; doing is quite another.”

I agree with Sarner’s contention that leadership is not the
same as management, and that good leaders need to focus on
developing critical human qualities. In my leadership
education books and seminars, I use the mnemonic
L.E.A.D.E.R.S. with each letter representing a core
principle for leadership. The letter L, which is the first
principle, stands for Love. It is a human quality, and it is
essential for leaders. Love in the workplace? Yes! To be an
effective leader, you must love your associates. Only when
you love your associates can you perform your leadership
responsibilities with the sensitivity, compassion and
firmness required to achieve success.
