What is leadership?The action of leading a group of people or an organization.
Oxford English Dictionary
What is leadership? The Challenges
“Ask yourself - how can I make the people around me do great things?”
“Seek out people who don't agree with you. It will teach you to compromise.”
B.Obama
Leadership as behaviour“Leadership is a series of behaviours rather than a role for heroes.” Meg (Margaret) Wheatley, management consultant
“Presenting leadership as a list of carefully defined qualities (like strategic, analytical and performance-oriented) no longer holds. Instead, true leadership stems from individuality that is honestly and sometimes imperfectly expressed… Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.” Sheryl Sandberg, COO Facebook
Now there is digital leadership
“Digital leadership refers to the ability to harness digital technologies to facilitate and enhance your leadership skills, specifically as we begin to develop relationships with colleagues, customers and suppliers beyond the physical organisation.”
