Certainly, the panel believes the hero CEO<br \/>\nis dead. We&#8217;re not sure they&#8217;re right about that, but it&#8217;s nice to<br \/>\nhear them say it.<\/p>\n<p>The usual suspects are along with perhaps some surprises in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.actu.asn.au\/about\/whoswho.html\">Greg<br \/>\nCombet<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bulletin.ninemsn.com.au\/bulletin\/eddesk.nsf\/All\/AAAEA41378351C94CA256DAF002C9142?OpenDocument\">Noel<br \/>\nPearson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Having shared some experiences with him more than a decade ago, we<br \/>\nwere very pleased to see quiet achiever <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erc.org.au\/goodbusiness\/page.php?pg=0503inprofile0\">Craig<br \/>\nWinkler<\/a> included in the top 25. <\/p>\n<p>So how has Spiral Path&#8217;s thinking about leadership changed over 12<br \/>\nmonths? Perhaps the greatest change is that we are less likely to think<br \/>\nof  leadership as a quality that some people have and others don&#8217;t.<br \/>\nWe are more likely to think of leadership as something some people<br \/>\ndo in the situation they are in at the time and perhaps won&#8217;t be able<br \/>\nto in another situation. We think of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newcurriculum.com\/2002\/int9-30.htm\">David<br \/>\nLoader<\/a>, a visionary, inspiring and loved principal at Melbourne&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mlc.vic.edu.au\/\">Methodist<br \/>\nLadies&#8217; College<\/a>. His experience at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wesleycollege.net\/\">Wesley<br \/>\nCollege<\/a> was reported to be quite different.<\/p>\n<p>We think <em>True Leaders<\/em> is useful in getting each of to think<br \/>\nabout what parts of ourselves we bring to our role as leaders.
