Bob Joss: You Wouldn’t Read About It

Bob Joss wrote an article in The Australian business magazine, ‘The Deal’:
But, of course, there is no one book to read. Instead, there are important truths that can be distilled from all this literature and from the collective experience of those who have practised, studied or taught leadership.
And it all starts with responsibility. Leadership is not about power, or fame, or fortune. At a fundamental level it is about taking responsibility for a group of people and their future direction. Leadership makes sense only within the context of a group - a business, a team, a school, a hospital, a government or a nation - and its collective purpose.
There are many things books don’t teach you.
