lead·er·ship

noun
  1. the action of leading a group of people or an organization.
    “different styles of leadership”

What is leadership?

A simple definition is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal.

This leadership definition captures the essentials of being able and prepared to inspire others. Effective leadership is based upon ideas (whether original or borrowed), but won’t happen unless those ideas can be communicated to others in a way that engages them enough to act as the leader wants them to act.

Put even more simply, the leader is the inspiration for and director of the action. They are the person in the group that possesses the combination of personality and leadership skills to make others want to follow their direction.
