Leadership creates action out of intention.

"Great Leaders make followers into Great Leaders."

In order to lead, others must follow. I won't follow anyone who takes credit, but not blame.
Gerald T. about 1 year ago from UpState NY
Anyone can be placed in a Leadership position... but that doesn't necessarily make them the Leader. True Leaders are granted Leadership by those that TRUST them.
Bruce Willingham about 1 year ago from Warner Robins Ga
Leadership is influencing others toward a better future.
Logan over 1 year ago from Kent, Washington
A leader is not one who jumps at a chance to be first, a Leader is one who jumps at the chance to give everything in their power to guide others through problems whether those same problems be thick or thin.
Stephen P. almost 2 years ago from Syracuse
True leaders are not those who strive to be first, but are first to strive and give it their all to envision the power of the team. By the strength of the leader, the power of the pack is unleashed.
Ken R. almost 2 years ago from Hampstead
I have come to learn that those in leadership positions are not necessarily leaders and those in subordinate positions are not necessarily subordinate; but it is those who can envision, construct and model behaviors that change the world who are real leaders.

Leadership is like a battlefield. You have to fight for it.

Leadership is "Guiding Intent with Integrity"
Dave H over 2 years ago from SC
A good leader respects those with whom s/he works, fosters participation, growth, loves the people and genuinely shows respect for the people they lead. A leader listens to advice of others and stands by decisions. But when wrong, readily admits mistakes, learns and acknowledges errors. And good leader stands faithful to core values that should be followed without exception regardless of the outcome.
