Great leaders demonstrate one important ability - "Adaptive capacity". This is the ability to overcome adversity and emerge stronger from the experience. This ability can be explained in terms of two qualities. The first is the ability to grasp context. This is the ability to weigh different factors that influence the situation; to understand how another person will interpret a gesture; and to communicate perspectives on the situation.

The second is hardiness - perseverance and toughness. Hardiness helps people to overcome devastating circumstances. The combination of the ability to grasp context and hardiness ensures that a leader not only survives, but also learns and emerges stronger and committed from adverse situations.

According to Robert Fulmer, CEOs in these organizations support leadership development programs not out of love for knowledge or education, but because such programs help in aligning functional areas with corporate strategy. The researchers are of the view that strategic vision alone is not enough to bring about change or link leadership development to company goals. An organization has to take five critical steps to achieve this: consciousness, future orientation, execution, integration and evaluation of development efforts.
