What is Leadership?
Leadership in the 21st century has been redefined. In our current world, leaders are the ones who sell the tickets for the journey, while the managers are the ones who drive the bus to the destination. Leadership is something you know when you see it, but is very hard to describe.Leaders have the power to make people do what they want and need them to do. By the strength of their personalities, they are able to motivate others to accomplish goals that they would otherwise never have even considered pursuing. Leaders can actually influence the beliefs, actions and feelings of their followers. A leader can make people entirely change direction without question, and can come from any rung of the ladder in an organization. Even the lowest ranked employees can show leadership.The subject of leadership has been a focal point for numerous political and academic discussions since humans began to organize for the greater good of the whole, not just the survival of the individual. While the thinking about leadership continues to evolve, leaders and the challenges they face have always been with us. In times of crisis, visible leadership often emerges and the leader becomes the chieftain for efforts to overcome adversity. Lacking an organizing force, leadership sometimes remains a hidden competency that while not dormant, is more mundane in its daily manifestation. Leaders do not necessarily rise to the occasion; as leadership is an integral part of a given individuals view of the world and approach to problem solving. Moreover, situations drive leadership behavior much less than is commonly understood. Leadership behavior based on situational constraints is a function of the make-up and style of the leader, his group of

followers, and the situation itself. Change can be the cathartic process that drives a leader to the forefront. Leaders thrust into situational flux draw upon inner strength, training, belief systems etc. to guide their actions in times of crisis.
