FALLS Agriculturai Extension Agent During the course of doing research for a book, co-authors James M. Kouzes and Barry Posner asked top-level managers to list the characteristics they look for and admire most in a leader: The title of the book for which the research was conducted is "The j Leadership Challenge." These are the answers that were given during research: The majority of senior top managers said: They admire leaders who are hon est, competent, forward-look ing and inspir ing. Kouzes points out in his article I in The New York Times that in a sep- I arate study, they found that the I majority of executives said they I admire honesty, competency, dependability and cooperation in j followers. In every survey conducted in the United States, co-authors Kouzes and Posner said that hon esty and competency ranked first 1 and second in the manager's expec tations of leaders as well as follow- | ers. When a leader delegates a task j he naturally wants assurance that it I will be carried out with skill and | precision. On the other hand, the man- ] agers expect leaders to have a sense of direction and a concern for the future of the organization. Leaders must know where they are going. "We expect them to be enthusi- I astic, energetic and positive about j the future. It is not enough for a [ leader to have a dream, he must be j able to communicate his vision in f ways that uplift and encourage peo ple to go along with him." Leaders want to know they can j count on people to be team players. They want to know that they will work together willingly and will be f able to compromise and subordinate individual needs to the common purpose. In organizations, people must be able to rely on each other, to trust each other and to set aside their own | agendas for that of the organization. Without dependability and I cooperation, nothing will get done and things will be rampant. Good leaders must not be inhibitors of organiz^onal change.

Other points made by the authors include: • Leadership requires the real ization of a unique and ideal vision of the future. ■ Following requires coopera tive and reliable adherence to the common vision. • In these times of business transformation, it is wise for execu tives to encourage and tolerate more internal conflict than we have allowed in the past. The managers concluded by saying: "If we expect people to show initiauve in meeting today's serious business challenges, then we have to relax our expectations of abiding devotion.
