View source for Mission: Leadership must have passion and motivation

To start, grow and survive, an organization needs leadership that has passion and motivation, which invigorates and sustains. It is key to overcoming many challenges, such as: (1) Tough times and crises; (2) Stiff and new competition; (3) Growth pains that require significant organizational and personnel changes; and (4) Unanticipated challenges that stress the organization and staff.

Employees are infected by the energy of the leaders.  If that energy is positive with passion this will impact the employees.  If that energy is negative or lack luster this will color the atmosphere of the organization.
