What is Leadership?

1
 It’s not a position
It’s a process
An influencing process

 Is there one best way to lead?
Probably not;
the fact that there are so many models
and methods being suggested and identified
itself suggests that.

The whole issue of managing and leadership

is based on the key equation:

Behaviour = f ( Leader, Follower, Situation)
