What kind of leader do you need?

There is a variety of criteria for leaders depending on the position and organization.  Beyond the basic leadership skills there may be unique skills that are specific to a position and culture.  A good starting point is to determine what skills and competencies you  need in a leader.

How do you know when you have the right kind of leader for your organization?

Many companies use business best practices benchmarking to analyze and align operations within their company or with other companies in their business sector.   The best practices benchmarks are usually focused on operational expenses and performance.  Leaders in these companies have a direct impact on the best practices measured, yet most companies do not benchmark the leaders who are charged with achieving the results.
