The Definition of Leadership
As part of one's process of leadership development, one needs to define leadership. Coming up with a leadership definition is surprisingly difficult. There is even a fair amount of confusion in the business schools where we see many professors act as though leader and manager are the same role.

superior leader gets things done with very little motion.
He imparts instruction not through many words but through
a few deeds. He keeps informed about everything but interferes

not get done well if he weren't’t there, when they
succeed he takes no credit. And because he takes no credit,
credit never leaves him." — Lao Tse, Tao
Te Ching

Final Word . . .
"It
is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have
done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends
himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if
he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither
victory or defeat." — Theodore
Roosevelt, American President
