Abstract: For centuries in theatre “acting” meant just that, to imitate action. In 1947 Marlon Brando changed all that by drawing on his own personal resources to become Stanley Kowalski. With “the fundamental state of leadership” Robert Quinn proposes a method for developing ones own resources to become an exceptional leader.
The age old assumption, act the part and you will become the part is dispelled in Robert Quinn’s article on “the fundamental state of leadership”. To be an exceptional leader you must focus on your own unique values and capabilities and become “result centered, internally directed, other focused and externally open.”
In this deeply explored article, Robert Quinn outlines how to achieve the transformation from “normal” to “fundamental” that is required to evolve into a highly effective leader.
