For successful leadership progress, no one should think of, or be put in a position to, start from the top. Leadership development is progressive. It does not mean that if you can walk, you can run! There are six main criteria that individuals should be evaluated on to be pre-qualified for leadership responsibilities. These criteria are: Academic Achievements, Experience, Personal Achievements, Leadership Training, Skills, Loyalty. Sustainable Development Leadership responsibilities necessitate extensive knowledge, experience, and achievements; therefore, the assignment of such responsibilities should be via a vertical movement and not horizontal. Often, Sustainable Development Leadership failure starts from Human Resource Corruption.
