From the Paper:

"The world's best managers are also some of the most passionate people in any organization. They are the reason that many organizations advance even in the toughest of times because they bring out the best in people around them, including peers and subordinates, through a passion for bringing change about for the better. Excellent management combines all these attributes and a great sense of when to use which managerial strategy in which situation at the best possible time, and in that innate sense is what excellence in management is all about. Aguirre, Calderone, Jones (2004) state that the management team must band together and have a consistent and strong show of support for any strategy to be successful. "
