From the Paper:

"A leader's central role is to create vision in others. "Great leaders imagine an ideal future for their organizations that goes beyond the ordinary and beyond what others may have thought possible" (Bateman, Snell 2004 3). Executives at all levels are interested in understanding what makes an effective leader because most companies develop good managers but very few leaders. Developing leaders involves a comprehensive knowledge of the skills and attributes associated with effective leaders."
