WHO IS A LEADER?
"a person who influences a group of people towards the achievement of a goal".
A mnemonic for leadership would be 3P's -
Person, People and Purpose
NO…..
A leader by its meaning is one who goes first and leads by example, so that others are motivated to follow him.
To be a leader, a person must have a deep- rooted commitment to the goal that he will strive to achieve it even if nobody follows him!
PURPOSE
A requirement for leadership is personal vision - the ability to visualize your goal as an accomplished fact; a thing already achieved.
“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.” Theodore M. Hesburgh
“ The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.” Eric Hoffer
PEOPLE
To be a leader, one must have followers. To have followers, one must have their trust. How do you win their trust? Why would others trust you?
Most important, are you worthy of their trust?
WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.
Communication
- You lead through two-way communication. Much of it is nonverbal.
Situation
- All situations are different. What you do in one situation will not always work in another.
- You must use your judgment to decide the best course of action and the leadership style needed for each situation.

INVITE PARTICIPATION
Google Vice President Marissa Mayer once told me that she keeps a sign-up sheet outside her door for “office hours” that are held each day at 4:00 p.m. She gives team members 15 minutes to voice their opinions or pitch new ideas. People want more than a paycheck. They want to create meaning. Invite them in.
