Most organizations, especially commercial businesses, require strong leadership to be successful. I'm hard pressed to think of an example where this isn't the case. There is a decent article in Fortune (10/1/07) about companies that spend significant time and money on developing leaders. However, it isn't always easy to find your leaders. You typically need a strong HR process, current leadership committed to developing leadership, or future leaders who take the time to aggressively manage their career; many organizations lack all three.
