 INTRODUCTION
Leadership is one of the most observed and studied concepts in
the modern world. We recognize and appreciate good leadership we abhor
bad leadership. Beyond that, precise measurements and definitions of
leadership elude us.

Each individual develops an idea of leadership, and there are as

many definitions and descriptions of the term as there are people who write
and speak about it. However, most agree that leadership is an influence
process dependent on the relationship between leaders and followers.
Getting things done through others implies a process of people working
together to achieve shared goals and aspirations.
 IMPORTANCE

Characteristics of Leadership
 Characteristics
A few other initial observations need to be made about leadership. Chief among these is that the
study of leadership needs inevitably to be linked or merged with the study of followership.

We cannot really study leaders in isolation from followers, constituents or group members.

The leader is very much a product of the group, and very much shaped by its aspirations, values
and human resources. The more we learn about leadership, the more the leader-follower linkage
is understood and reaffirmed.

A leader has to resonate with followers. Part of being an effective leader is having excellent
ideas, or a clear sense of direction, a sense of mission. But such ideas or vision are useless
unless the would-be leader can communicate them and get them accepted by followers.

A two-way engagement or two-way interaction is constantly going on. When it ceases, leaders
become lost, out of touch, imperial or worse .
