 This weeks readings is a great example that shows why leadership is an intricate part of business that is formed from trustworthiness, ethical values, and constant development of human and institutional capability. By "A Disciple Preparation Center" and "Leadership with a Small 'L'," it is known to us that top-management is not done just by one person in the leadership. Rather, leadership is a characteristic developed in any business endeavor. These papers argue that actual leadership is primarily a matter of leading by example, imitating leadership behaviors as integrity and responsibility, and making an environment where you can right an action.

Good to Great reading puts more of a numbers perspective on these qualitative results. Jim Collins' "Good to Great" model emphasizes that companies can transition from being average to great when they build cultures based on disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action. The same principle is emphasized in the video "Leadership and Capability," which points out that leadership is an uninterrupted process of building peoples capabilities as well as their talents for business purposes. Here, the assumption is that "leadership skill" does not come from just pear talent but is taught and grows. 

Discussing hiring, the video "Hiring Ethical People" talks more about the significance that ethics play in talent development of a successful company. Recruiting ethical employees is not just about picking that person who can get the work done but is more about picking someone that is able to share the organization's values. This focus on ethical recruitment serves to create a a more recognized organizational culture, as noted in the "Aspects of Building Trust" video. Trust is something that can truly bind your team together despite hard coming that may come your way. By working in a place where you know you can rely on each other is the best way in order to be successful.
