The Three Kinds of Leaders
Recovery Leader
Assumes the lead of an under-performing organization: one that needs to revisit its vision, mission, and customers. Leader often must "prune" the organization of under-performing managers.
Sustainment Leader
Takes over a producing and successful organization. This organization has experienced success over time and needs a caretaker more than a change maker.
Turnaround Leader
Recreates an organization that has lost its direction, is financially unsound, and is heading for the boneyard without a dramatic makeover. This leader often must "purge" the organization of under-performers, lovers of the status quo, and those whose loyalty to the leader and the new direction are suspect.
