What is your definition of leadership?

Answer 1

like they always say be a leader not a follower

Answer 2

This is a very broad question. The answers are many and are contingent upon geography and time. Leadership isn't always apparent to all and can assume many guises.
Your principles and beliefs will define leadership for you. We can generally assume (not always) that these reflect that of the peoples. An ideal leader carefully monitors the pulse of the community and prescribes a carefully chosen health plan to maintain a healthy pulse. He/She recognizes the international community and vies to create relations which can complement a healthy and prosperous foreign policy.
Leadership encompasses the social, economic, domestic, and international gamut. Each is relative to the other and a fine balance requires sensitive thought.
Leadership requires decision-making which protects the welfare of the people. The welfare of the people is what the leader is bound by oath to protect.
A leader's creed should be to lead by example. A leader's influence is only as evident as his/her core values. There is no leadership without the support of the people.

Answer 5

The quality of leadership finds its ultimate expression in teaching. Yes, it is important to be able to give orders, make plans and organize the efforts of others in order to benefit the organization of which all the people involved are a part, but the ability to encourage the individual members to become better people by learning and growing is the most vital component of a leader.

Answer 6

House defines "leadership" organizationally and narrowly as "the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members" (House, R. J. 2004: page 15). Compare the discussions on group leadership and ad hoc leadership below. One can also characterize leadership by the period of the authority, as in "During the 1940s Russia was under Stalinist leadership". In formal hierarchies the term can also serve to describe the position or relationships which allow and legitimize the exercising of what one might term "leadership behavior".

In some languages the term for a leader and the term for the principle of leadership have very different meanings. Furthermore, note the different connotations of a synonym of the word "leader" adopted from the German: the word Führer, and its acompanying ideas on the Führerprinzip.

In would-be controlling groups such as the military, political parties, ruling élites, and other belief-based enterprises like religions or businesses, the idea of leadership can become a Holy Grail and people can come to expect transformational change stemming from the leader; such entities may encourage their followers and believers to worship leadership, to respect it, and to strive (whether realistically or not) to become proficient in it. Ideally, one cannot buy or sell leadership in the military (or elsewhere); instead, leaders must ratify their position of command in the hearts and minds of their soldiers in order to obtain the best from them. Followers in such a situation may become uncritically obedient. Personal strategies that one can use to guard against the unrealistic expectations associated with belief in leaders include:

maintaining a questioning and skeptical attitude
bolstering confidence in one's own decision-making abilities

Answer 7

The word leadership can refer to:

1. the concept
2. the process

Concept: The ability to influence, motivate, and enable others or oneself to contribute toward the success of a common goal.

Process: To begin with the end in mind is to begin with the image of the end of your life as the frame of reference by which everything else is measured. We may be busy, we may be efficient, but we will only be effective if we begin with the end in mind. This applies both to personal and general leadership.

Answer 8

A good leader can make decisions with a clear mind and will listen to theirs but can run through every consequence and possiblity in their head. they take every angle and come out with the best answer for the majority of the people or situations it effects! And will not let their emotions be shut off but will have feeling where it is needed

You are all so beautifully naive. The leader is the fox in the hen house, the wolf among the sheep. But you should understand that my job is to hunt these wolves. I am their version of the grim reaper. To give you some idea, I (literally not figuratively) swim with sharks with my children to relax on vacation. You have no idea how hard the real world is.

Answer 10

A leader talks truth always as nothing is permanent so don't be too much worried about today's sufferings. ...what I mean is he inflicts a purpose to action not to result......and corrects the thoughts of individuals since he knows that comes out as action tomorrow. So he always works on "Minds" for a better result tomorrow.

Gandhiji and Buddha were called good leaders by Modern Management, like Osama Bin Laden and Bush. Either Modern Management is wrong or Buddha and Gandhiji were wrong because they worked in minds not on body.

Answer 11

The capacity to help others find a dream or purpose to pursue - and to help them achieve it by helping them learn to think for themselves with confidence, and without fear of failure, even knowing failure is possible. I believe a great leader teaches people not to be followers. We all do things better when our own heart is in it - and it makes us truly human rather than sheep. Sadly most people would rather not take the responsibility for themselves. So they become mindless followers, to their own awful cost, and to humanity's. And we're in the mess we're in, and always have been.
