Abstract:
|
There are many forms of leadership, including the intellectual leadership of ideas and gentle nurturing and mentoring of new professionals. Both of these are leadership skills good teachers and managers possess. There are other leadership traits: the example of staying current in your profession, of getting out and trying new techniques, of being there for a friend. Among those and other traits, this paper will cover the kind of leadership we sometimes call heroic---the leadership of speaking out on issues when courage is required. The focus, naturally, will be on what it means to put the two adjectives "effective" and "statistical" in front of the noun "leadership." My remarks will come from my experience in government and industry.
