Mike, great distinctions between good and effective leadership.  Part of the reason I am part of the Lead Change Group and Lead Change Roundtable is your vision to infuse good leadership into your work and to shift how leaders lead today.

I would add an additional distinction to good leadership.  It's the source of the leader's actions.  I call this a way of being.  How is the good leader being with others so that good outcomes are possible.  Being could be inspired, open, curious, giving, etc.  From this way of being comes actions.  The good leader manifests being into action that are aligned and cause outcomes that are a benefit to the whole.  This latter point is of course your point.

Nice post, Mike.
