The concept of leadership is relevant not only to organizational life but to all of us: everyone has to 'lead' their own life. To be a strategic life-leader means developing a vision and direction for one's life, identifying personal core values and fostering an informal team among colleagues and associates. "Effective Strategic Leadership" is as important for unstructured careers as it is in large companies or organizations.
