Leadership and Theory

Leadership

What is leadership? Leadership is defined as the activity of leading a group of individuals or an organization. To be a good leader, it involves some key elements that one must have. These elements are clear vision, sharing your vision, providing information, knowledge and methods to share the vision and being able to balance or coordinate the conflicts in the interest of all of the individuals involved. In times of a crisis, a leader should be at the front so they may think and act in the creative ways they have to help the individuals deal with the difficult situation at hand.

Unlike management, leadership flows from the core of a personality and cannot be taught, although it may be learned and may be enhanced through coaching or mentoring. (businessdictionary.com)
