From the Paper:

"Jack Welch was an exceptional strategic leader, driven by never ending thirst for success. John Gardner, the renowned expert on leadership, has listed out six distinct characteristics that separate great leaders from the rest "(1) longer term approach (2) grasp relationships to the larger realities (3) reach and influence constituencies beyond their jurisdiction, beyond boundaries (4) emphasize heavily on the intangibles of vision, values and motivation (5) political skill to cope with conflicting requirements of multiple constituencies (6) think in terms of renewal." Going further, Gardner is of the view that the central element of effective leadership is responsibility, which has three dimensions."
