KIST held the Management Leadership Forum on February 25, 2011. A special lecture was given by Dr. Ji-hoon Lee, the author of the book Soul, Creativity and Communication (魂創通).
: Three Key Conditions to be a Successful Leader <Excerpt of lecture>
What makes a good leader? There is no answer to this question because each organization has its own culture and different members with unique characteristics. However, all the business experts I have met possess similar high standards and perceptions. My book focuses mainly on the high standards and perceptions of those business experts. To be a successful leader, there must be a right mix of soul, creativity and communication, just like how an orchestra requires the right ensemble of musical instruments to maximize its powerful effect. Soul without creativity makes a dreamer; soul without communication makes a unilateral dictator; and creativity without soul is like a tree with no roots.
