Leaders do not command excellence, they
build excellence. Excellence is "being all you can be"
within the bounds of doing what is right for your community. To reach
excellence you must first be a leader of good character. You must do
everything you are supposed to do.
The community will not achieve excellence by figuring out where it wants to go, then having leaders do whatever they have to in order to get the job done, and then hope their leaders acted with good character. This type of thinking is backwards. Pursuing excellence should not be confused with accomplishing a job or task. When you do planning, you do it by backwards planning. But you do not achieve excellence by backwards planning. Excellence starts with leaders of good and strong character who engage in the entire process of leadership. And the first process is being a person of honorable character.

Good start Cecilia. Your article is really appreciated. Effective leaders are authentic. Authentic people don't try to pretend that they are someone else. They are not phony. Their honesty, sincerity, and concern are evidence at all times. They aren't simply trying to imitate someone they hold up as a role model. They don't have to pretend who they are. Authentic leaders are completely honest and participate in the here and now. Because they are genuine and sincere, they earn the respect of the people around them.
