To a leader, the principles and objectives are the soul to any group, especially the particular one. So I agree the statement that the most essential quality of an effective leader is the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Otherwise, any leader will accomplish little. To better present my opinion let me illustrate it in details
On the one hand, it is very important to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives as a leader. Because the particular principles and objectives always embody the aims of a group, like a company or a party, the leader persists in them to make all the members together. Meanwhile, the particular principles and objectives always tell the characteristic of a group, the leader persists in them to make the groups competitive to the others in the same area. Consider, for example, KFC which is an international corporation. It cooks chicken and hamburger as snacks for a long time no matter where its sub-stores open even in China where people are used to using chopsticks. This is their brand products. In another word, it is their principle and objective. The achievement of KFC nowadays has given a very convinced proof that their leader contains the most essential quality.
On the other hand, any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifted in popular opinion will accomplish little. For example, a lot of cellphone manufacturers came out when the technology of cellphone became mature over time in China. Of course, some of them were just followers of the faddish. At first, every producer got some profits from the huge market in China. But after several years, the customers have been familiar with these communicated instruments and have learned to choose what they need. Meanwhile the marker has become full of the products at some degree. Some big manufacturers have their own principles and objectives which are different from the others. And according to them, the producers were developing the new function for their cellphone no matter what the others did. So they always have their characteristic and their trump to exist in the market which has been constricted, while some followers are disappearing one by one. The reason is that the leaders of followers are always quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion. Every new function created by the others attracted the attention of customers, and then they followed. They were the same like the filiales of the big corporations step by step and their products were not competitive with the ones from the big corporations.
Admittedly, a leader has to persist in the particular principles. However, he/ she should know when the change is necessary. Because our society is developing and they are not the same situation at different places, there is not anything which is always right and appropriate. As an effective leader, the keen insight is very important. If the changes are benefit for the whole corporation or some other organizations in the future and they would not make the particular principles lost, I think they are necessary. Consider the KCF example again. In China, they created some food containing Chinese characteristic with chicken for Chinese customers. Then they got more Chinese customers who have not entered KCF before.
In sum, a competent leader should have the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Meanwhile, he should also have clairvoyance in his area. Then he would know what he should do and what he should not do. He would be never influenced by any fashion, if even they made some change.
