WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?
Everyone knows what Leadership is about, its concept, its purpose, but how can we define it? It depends on personal perspectives. For some being a successful and effective leader is being able to achieve successful results; become inspiration; complete a mission successfully; possess excellent skills; have a vision; be at people’s service; and many other things.
In fact, to be a Leader, you have to possess all these qualities. For a better understanding based on real, personal experiences, below you can find:
THE 7 DEFINITIONS OF LEADERSHIP
1 “Successful leadership is leading with the heart, not just the head. They possess qualities like empathy, compassion, and courage.” – Bill George, Professor at Harvard Business School
2 “Leadership occurs when one person induces others to work toward some predetermined objectives.” – Massie
3 “The ultimate test of practical leadership is the realization of intended, real change that meets people’s enduring needs.” James MacGregor Burns
4 “Leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.” – John Maxwell
5 “I think leadership comes from integrity–that you do whatever you ask others to do. I think there are non-obvious ways to lead. Just by providing a good example as a parent, a friend, a neighbour makes it possible for other people to see better ways to do things. Leadership does not need to be a dramatic, fist in the air and trumpets blaring, activity.” – Scott Berkun
6 “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.” – Peter F. Drucker
7 “Leadership is not a person or a position. It is a complex moral relationship between people, based on trust, obligation, commitment, emotion, and a shared vision of the good.” – Joanne Ciulla
