Abstract

Leader and leadership are not the same, but related. Leaders might come with position appointed or naturally beings. However, leadership is of anyone who wants to lead. You do not need a position to lead. This notion is even more true in the 21st century because changes are more rapid and unpredictable, we need more leaders to lead us through the difficulty of the new ages, but only a few positions are available to be filled. So the true leader just leads for the sake of better result. And since the challenges of the future is more than you could imagine, more people but less resources, new problems of no clues of solution, and timing cure is needed. All of these force us to look for SMART leaders. This is the purpose of this article.
