After reading the article "Building a Leadership Brand" in the Harvard Business Review, I came to the conclusion that the two authors of this article, Ulrich and Smallwood, would agree with the textbook of ours on what characteristics facilitate a good strategic leader. They feel that a person needs to have certain attributes, like compassion and caring for fellow employees and those under them. Also, a person in this position needs to have the ability to have a vision of where they want the company to go, while at the same time having the ability to convey this to the consumer.
My view on what constitutes a good strategic leader has not changed much since I have read the textbook and what it stated were the pieces that make up a good strategic leader. Both the DVD we watched on Mr. Welch, former CEO of GE, and the article we were just assigned to read, "Building a Leadership Brand", have backed up the textbook. All three of these pieces of media have suggested and reiterated similar ideals about the characteristics a strategic manager should be made up of.
