3. I. Leadership – The Definition
3
"Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision
that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues,
and taking effective action to realize your own leadership
potential."
“Leadership that pulls together people with diverse talents,
backgrounds, experiences and interests, encourages them to step
up to responsibility and continued achievement, and treats them
as full scale partners and contributors.
Leadership is not about memorising techniques or devising the
perfect game plan. It is about really paying attention to people –
really believing them, really caring about them, really involving
them.”

methods.
Leadership Vs Management
Leadership Vs Management:
Management is mostly about processes.
Leadership is mostly about behavior.

7. 7
Leadership involves many management skills, but
generally as a secondary or background function of
true leadership. Leadership instead relies most
strongly on less tangible and less measurable things
like trust, inspiration, attitude, decision-making, and
personal character. These are not processes or skills
or even necessarily the result of experience. They are
facets of humanity, and are enabled mainly by the
leader's character and especially his/her emotional
reserves.
