Page 4/The Battalion/Monday, April 25, 1983 Chief leadership traits cited by David Marchand Battalion Reporter Ben F. Love, recipient of this year’s Texas Business Executive of the Year award, said Friday that productive leadership is a common factor in all successful business organizations. The award was initiated here in the Spring of 1980 as a special feature in the College of Busi ness Administration’s profes sional journal, The Texas Busi ness Executive. Love, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Texas Commerce Bancshares, delivered an acceptance speech to an audience of about 400 in the Academic and Agency Building.

OPEN Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM QUALITY FIRST formula that man has devised for productive leadership, Love said. But in his organization, the selection process is the key. Love said his organization looks for five qualities, which he called “the right stuff,” in pros pective employees. First, competence is impor tant. This includes preparation, which begins in school, to allow the executive to adapt to con stantly changing situations. Next he cited the desire to excel. Echoing the language of his organization’s commercials, he said an executive must have a “can do” attitude. A high level of energy he also claimed is vital to success, and he quoted actress Helen Hayes, “Talent and ability are not enough ... nothing is good with out endurance.” Physical fitness and nutrition are important, he said, because the executive is “preparing for a contest.” “No matter how good your past, you are measured by what you are doing today and will do tomorrow,” he said. “Work is in deed akin to a physical contest.” Next Love urged “a strong work ethic” that is evidenced by a disciplined individual. Few successful executives, he said, don’t master detail. Finally, he said, integrity is an element that will help others fol low an executive. This includes honesty, ethics, a moral code and consistent application. Texas Commerce Bane- shares “has yet to be dis appointed by someone with these five qualities,” he said. Another aspect of productive leadership, Love said, is how an organization develops its mem bers. A “lean and hungry staff” produces less resistance to change. Love agreed with Gen. George S. Patton’s philosophy: Never tell people exactly how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they’ll surprise you with their ingenuity. And he urged young executives to “risk some mistakes, take some action, don’t be inert.” For all these qualities Love said the rewards are many. “Our people are our most im portant asset,” he siid. “We want above average people and above average salaries. We want peo ple who seek out opportunity ... and can be rewarded by more opportunity.” But Love’.s optimism was taken to task at a press confer ence held prior to his speech. When asked about the future of the oil industry in light of recent overproduction, layoffs and shutdowns, Love said that some time in the next two to three years, the plants that are now hurting are going to have an up turn in business. “We are going to be depen dent on hydrocarbons,” he said. The computer and construction industry also will be important to Texas’ economy. But, he said, productive leadership is the key to progress, and he quoted William Jennings Bryan, “Destiny is not a matter of chance. It is a matter of choice.” Salami recall extended for June purchase dates United Press International I OPEKA, Kan. — Ohse Meat Products Inc. has expanded its 722 TEXAS STYLE ROCK & ROLL with MSC Town Hall present Tuesday, April 12, 19, 26 50 dollars cash & other prizes given RoxZ at Post Oak Mall JOAN JETT {oo£ - V?
