In 1985, ICI believed that the outcomes of effective leadership were
that people will:
• have a clear sense of direction and work hard and effectively
• have confidence in their ability to achieve specific challenging
objectives

• believe in and be identified with the organisation
• hold together when the going is rough
• have respect for and trust in managers
• adapt to the changing world

In achieving the task, building the team and developing the individual,
whilst leadership style may differ, effective leadership (in ICI’s
findings and its development courses) emphasized that the leader
must do the following:
• feel personally responsible for his/her human, financial and
material resources
• be active in setting direction and accepting the risks of leadership

• be able to articulate direction and objectives clearly and keep
his/her people in the picture
• use the appropriate behaviour and methods to gain commitment
for the achievement of specific objectives
• maintain high standards of personal performance and demand
high standards of performance from others.
