Definition & Examples of Leadership



Here is what Susan Ward says Leadership is:


What Is Leadership?

Leadership captures the essentials of being able and prepared to inspire others. Effective leadership is based upon ideas—both original and borrowed—that are effectively communicated to others in a way that engages them enough to act as the leader wants them to act.


A leader inspires others to act while simultaneously directing the way that they act. They must be personable enough for others to follow their orders, and they must have the critical thinking skills to know the best way to use the resources at an organization's disposal.


Alternate definition: Leadership may also refer to an organization's management structure.
