Results-based leadership says that the
best leaders are those that get the best results, and concentrate on
measurement.
After all, says this theory, leadership
is a scarce resource and should be maximized in ways that help employees,
customers, and the business. In fact, is is asserted that leadership
is the most scarce of all resources.
In Amazon's review of the book
Results Based Leadership, they state it simply: "It's possible to look
like a leader, say all the right things to shareholders, make employees feel
good about themselves, and still not produce the sorts of results everyone
expects and wants from your company. A previous generation might have called
this winning the battle but losing the war."

Ulrich and Norm Smallwood has lead to books and resources that help to build
