Abstract
The concept of leadership is not new; it is perhaps as old as the man himself. The only difference is that it got unprecedented attention from corporate culture and the phenomenal growth of educational institutions and universities during the last decades of 20th century. There is almost unanimity of views by the management academia, corporate sector as well as military organisations across the globe that formal as well as informal organisations need leaders, not just managers. This realisation of the significance of the concept of leadership is more pronounced for higher level jobs than for the middle and first-level tasks. In this paper, the author would discuss some of the fundamental principles and practices, which make the necessity of the application of the concept of leadership at junior levels of organisations inescapable. Further, some cautionary notes are also recommended for the aspiring junior leaders, so that they can avoid them as they progress in their pursuit for excellence in their areas of responsibilities.
