Results-based leadership says that the best leaders are those that get the best results, and concentrate on measurement.

After all, says this theory, leadership is a scarce resource and should be maximized in ways that help employees, customers, and the business.  In fact, is is asserted that leadership is the most scarce of all resources.

In Amazon's review of the book Results Based Leadership, they state it simply: "It's possible to look like a leader, say all the right things to shareholders, make employees feel good about themselves, and still not produce the sorts of results everyone expects and wants from your company. A previous generation might have called this winning the battle but losing the war."

The work of Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood has lead to books and resources that help to build Results Based Leadership (RBL)
